Whats an essential part of every birthday writes the cake but the creations in our 1st reports today are more off work then pastry they are made by cake autists compelling at the Cake International in Birmingham England and theyve come up with all kinds of bizarre ideas we joined cake on his bed callen at the fair and watched him create something very special. Otherwise known as the biking. And his world is that of cake artist every year the best from around the world meet at the Cake International in Birmingham England. This year some 1300 bakers professionals and amateurs are here to present their creations. Some of these artworks its hard to tell but they are in fact cakes. Such as this life size effigy of a character from the t. V. Series killing eve. My favorite thing for me is seeing so incredible. Is you know committed. By steve realizing in the in the industry your level how you can improve things you can do things that other people do that just really give you strong ideas. Then colins own entry to the chimpanzee life size at one metre high in 80 kilos but this one is edible then put 4 days of work into it. The biggest challenge doing this was actually trying to get the stunts how they see it is so so weird so strange then i thought when i started it and its a cross reference so many different photos of where that happens go how their legs fold into each other. In studio in north wales to form the chimpanzee he stuck several layers of pastry together and then cut them into shape. The cake are the studied in Graphic Design his fascination with baking the only developed later on. To learn how to mike was a simple as. And scientology in. Genuinely how it started when i wanted to make the 1st one i had not the foggiest could. He model the schools bone structure and fudge. He also used the multiple sugar paste to sculpt the facial features as well. This is now what the public are going to see what the clients going to say this is the final bit so its really you have to go deep in thought my show you get in every line because if i were to make a mistake i. Made an hour of bacon 62014. 00. He makes a living from his creations for birthdays weddings and anniversaries. And in addition he also maintains his own you tube channel. With mike its often that nobody sees that they just see the finished pace well i like people seeing the inside the behind the scenes the process of how it got so what it looked like. Then cullen puts the finishing touches on his chimpanzee case with food coloring. At this stage i know its going in the right direction but theres a lot more to do theres the whole body a lot more than if you do the tongue so theres a long process ahead but im really up to the hour. Here failed the completed work to some 20000 person. But hes already got ideas for new projects. One of the main things i want to get around to doing is doing a walk in you know the house of interactive you can walk in it and sit in it live in it you know i mean for a few minutes yet you can. Then cohen will need some fairly original ideas to stand out among the legions of imaginative kid bakers. One cake is more off the wall than the next but they all look good enough to. When you think of share this thing has immediately come to mind these people from t. But traditionally work as porters but here in europe we have a few remaining mountain porters to take carry tons of food drinks and material up sort of mount shelters in the slovakian Tetra National Park without destroying the courage of skill the mount largest could not exist and twice a year the european sharpest meet for a cup of tissue to find out who is quickest at carrying heavy loads to the top. 50 sherpas set off on a race each carrying 60 kilos of supplies on their backs to the high touch from mountains of slovakia. For many hikers the route would be too hazardous even without the extra weight on their backs. But time is the main challenge sherpas like stefan back are faced as they navigate the 6 kilometers of rocky path to the finish. There is nothing special in the dark and the whole things more a matter of the mind. But there are some difficult moments overcome get tough theyre going to get over it but thats where the shepherds pride comes into it so you have to get the job done and it will be. Normally steffen back or would make the climb to the lodge alone he makes up to 3 trips a day. At the base camp and study smoke of it. He packs all the supplies onto his back frame that people will meet high in the mountains. If. He can heave up to 100 kilos onto his shoulders. To. Look at was it every time no bottle of the strength comes from inside from the mind but mainly from the hot. In summer as in winter the sherpas keep the lodges of the high touches supplied and open to serve hikers and mountaineers the regions flora and fauna are unique in europe. So it was a device to so thoughtful just gives the strength of that a bit but its great to be out all day makes around this part of nature. Or you cant do this job if you dont love nature there are what we do involves a sense of ecological responsibility only because we carry the supplies up to the lodges can they be maintained without roads or cable cars or even helicopters. Sometimes when the lodges are short handed its part of the sherpas job to stay and help out so the largest depend on them in more ways than one to be able to stay open. And. It also will be in a sense its magical. Because lobel its like an island of freedom to me is that far away from the hectic Business World with nothing but a mountains all around. And people completely different topic. When stefan back or if down in the valley he helped his wife run the sherpa cafe. The cafe has its own Little Museum where patrons can get an impression of the hard life sherpas had and still have. There are only about 50 of them in europe. Theyre principally men who have a strong will and theyre driven by an almost fanatical love for the mountains those are the winning traits but after. The last few metres of the sherpa race. The fastest among them cover the 700. 00 metre climb to the robbers lodge at some 2000 metres elevation in about one hour and 20 minutes. Right at the finish line almost half an hour later but all of them are satisfied. To get them to simply my life not just a way for me to earn money. Is just incredibly fun so buy yeah its hell for 2 hours but its all the more fun afterwards about rembrandt it was that i thought the great thing about this competition is that were only top of the you know daily routine we have no time to communicate throughout the whole year we never get to meet up like we do here its super sagittal because. The work. After the winner is awarded they finally have time to party. But the very next morning the sherpas of the high touches keep their loads on to their facts and set out once again to keep the largest supplied with everything they need. Its starting to get cold in many pods of europe but on the lucia in the south of spain its the mostly sunny and mild to reach of those not very far from north africa and there are many remnants of the time when the muslim invaders from north africa rule their one of their strongholds the city of nada and that is where my colleague maggie least spent a perfect week at.
