KORG Electribe ESX-1 Cake

This one in via Tom

"Korg Electribe ESX-1 cake for my friend Loz's birthday. It's basically a printed icing sheet atop a two layer sponge with marshmallows for the pots. Final construction was a bit rushed - the valves are represented by candles to be surrounded by orange jelly/jello but I didn't leave enough time to have that set. I also put a bit too much glycerin in the fondant so it melted somewhat. The rear is a bit of a bodge too with a bad colour match to the printed icing, but overall I think it came out OK."

I'm loving it so far.. finding it very inspiring to play and use and create new drum beats and sounds. I'm going to try to tell some of the things about the Tempest that arent talked about too much already."
