Any Pink Floyd fan would understand the design for this cake. I tried to incorporate a couple different album covers into the cake. The white brick detailing mimics their well known album "The Wall" and the white light into the pyramid represents the iconic album "Dark Side of the Moon". The famous Pink Floyd pig actually has a pretty cool back story. In 1976 they had planned to fly the forty-foot helium filled pig over a coal-fired power station in London for a photo shoot. A strong wind broke the pig free and it disappeared. It was seen after by airline pilots 30,000 feet in the air! Flights were cancelled because the pig flew through the path of an aircraft over the English channel. Later that night it finally landed near a small farm. The incident received massive amounts of attention and ever since they have used the flying pigs during concerts, floating them above fans, displaying political rants. The pig is my favorite part! I sculpted it out of rice cereal treats, covered it in fondant and hand painted all the details.
