Marvelous Occamy Cake

This Marvelous Occamy Cake was made by Christrix Forfang – Christina – Christina Danner from Supreme Sweets.   

This Marvelous Occamy Cake was made for the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Collaboration.  

The collaboration of food artists from around the world, known as Birthday Mischief Managed have assembled to debut their second installment of edible art in celebration of world-renowned author, J.K. Rowling’s screenwriting debut and newest movie trilogy – “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. 

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, is an A to Z “textbook” of magical creatures that have been featured in the Potter film series and publishing’s of J.K. Rowling. For this collaborative effort some of the beasts were removed from the list inside the textbook and each artist was asked to create the remaining using only their imaginations and the book’s descriptions with sweet edible mediums.  Each artist has dressed for the occasion and transformed themselves into “Magizoologist”. Be sure to visit their pages and read the documents kept about their beast.   

Our biggest challenge was resisting the urge to research, (cheat) pictures of our assigned beasts. The group has made sweet magic. My only regret is not having a pet Kneazle.” – Michelle “ChefMitchie” Curran aka Michaeleas Cuuragusta, Headmistress 

Here is Christina’s description of this Fabulous Edible Beast:

Name: Regina, she is definitely QueenNoteable Behaviors: Regina is very aware of her surroundings, stares intently at anything moving nearby, very intimidating! Easily provoked. Ruffles feathers as a warning. Flares nostrils and bares fangs while giving a bone chilling hiss – this is not a sound you want to hear as it may be your last. The occamy hisses & then attacks using it’s razor sharp talons. Very protective of her nest, a good & attentive mother.Feeding notes: We did not feed her directly, but set rodents loose within her teritory that she would hunt. We tried this with one monkey however it didn’t go as well because the monkey can sense danger and tried to escape. It is very important to keep free of any blood scent so as not attract her attention. The goal is to stay out of sight. Occamys eat small animals and rodents whole; monkeys or other larger animals are ripped to pieces with their talons. Larger bones are stripped clean and tails are discarded.Injuries sustained by Caretaker and aide taken: Our team member Sal who handled the monkey release was actually attacked by the terrified monkey; because of this he found himself within Regina’s territory. She flew toward him with a hiss but thankfully was distracted by the crazed screaming monkey and went after it. Once she turned Sal was able to run. He made it to safety but suffered an anxiety attack and was sent on medical leave, his monkey bite required 23 stitches.Injuries sustained by Study/Beast and aide taken: Some monkeys she caught were able to bite or scratch briefly, causing minimal damage to Regina’s thick scaly epidermis.Has study been released if you took it captive? If yes, where? We observed the subject in her natural habitat, at a great distance, with protective clothing and enclosures.Any other notes you took during your study: Regina is extremely dangerous, however a stunning creature. She has vibrant orange scales and a silvery-iridescent belly. She is a stealthy climber, slithering swiftly through her tree, and a graceful flier. Please don’t try observing occamys on your own, it is very dangerous. Special training and safety equipment is required.
