Globe Cake: Love It or Hate It?

This buttercream-frosted cake, a 14-inch replica of the globe, was created by celebrated cake designer Sylvia Weinstock. Made for Travel+Leisure's art auction, Project Globe, the cake costs $2,265 and feeds 100.

I think the cake is incredible and would love to know how it was made and how it retains the circular shape. While it's not something I can afford, I admire the amazing craftsmanship that obviously went into producing it.

What do you think?

    I love it, though I wouldn't want to eat it. I'd feel guilty digging my huge cake cutter into it.
    BTW, what is that circular flat object next to the globe? It looks like fondant, so is that supposed to be a compass or something?

    That's really cool! I wonder how Sylvia managed to make it so spherical.

    i'm not really into it. i think that it's creative and it does a good job representing things, but it gives me bad memories of when i was in elementary school and we had to make a cake of the united states and each state had to be geographically correct.
