  9. This cake is chocolate indulgence, a 3D 18inch Dalek.

    The head was cast from green and blacks milk chocolate and filled with a rum garnache with midget gems for the lights.

    The eye piece is a mint matchmaker stuck to a malteser with the top cut off, a blob of white chololate in the center and sealed with milk chocolate. In the middle are choclate buttons stuck together.

    The body panels were half a centimeter thick to set whole malteser within. The panels were then assembled around a lot of nigela lawsons nutella chocolate cake.

    The base was yet more chocolate cake covered with loads of chocolate to support the weight of the dalek.

    The cake had stability in the middle because the bit below the head was slabs of white choolate, a whole block of green and blacks white chocolate is contained in each layer.

    The only bit that went wrong was keeping the panels in the wrong location prior to assembly which caused the chocolate to bloom.
