Heavy loads to slovakias monk and iconic maggot mean his chips for a perfect weekend in grenada spain. Whats an essential part of every birthday writes the cake but the creations in our 1st report today are more office work then pastry they are made by cake autists comparing 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. You know comin in. My skin realizing in the industry your level how you can improve things you can do things that other people do that just really give you stronger ideas. Than colins own entry to the chimpanzee life size at one metre high and 80 kilos but this one is edible ben put 4 days of work into it. The biggest challenge doing this was actually trying to get the stunts how they say it is so so 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 sort of 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 part in Graphic Design his fascination with baking only developed later on. To learn how to mike was a simple as ring you mom. And scientology in my thoughts genuinely how it started when i wanted to write the 1st one i had not the foggiest could. He modeled 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. Made an hour of bacon 62014. 00. He makes a living from his creations for birthdays weddings and anniversaries. In addition he also maintains his own you tube channel. With mike its often that nobody sees the mica 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 colin 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 happy with. The completed work to some 20000 cake lovers. 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 so i live in it for a few minutes and yet you can. Then cullen will need some fairly original ideas to stand out among the legions of imaginative cake bakers. One cake is more off the wall than the next but they all look good enough to eat. When you think of share this thing you may as immediately come to mind these people from tea but traditionally work as porters but here in europe we have a few remaining mountain porters to carry tons of food drinks and material up to the mountain shelters in the slovakian Tetra National Park without destroying the courage of skill the mt lodges could not exist and twice a year the european sharpest meet for a cup of titian 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 through the high touch of 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 our face as they navigate the 6 kilometers of rocky paths to the finish. Its not a special you know the whole things more a matter of the mind. But there are some difficult moments. Can get tough to get over but thats where the shepherds pride comes into it you have to get the job done. 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 on his back frame that people will need high in the mountains. To feel like he can heave up to 100 kilos onto his shoulders. Look im nobody 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 touch are supplied and open to serve hikers and mountaineers the regions flora and fauna are unique in europe. So i was that of us to sort of gives the strength of that over 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 sensor. 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. 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. But its different by koreans down in the valley he helps 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. Theyre 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 traits where. 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 and about one hour and 20 minutes. Right at the finish line almost half an hour later but all of them are satisfied. To get some of this is simply my life its not just a way for me to earn money. Is just incredibly fun. Its hell for 2 hours but its all the more fun afterwards. That i thought the great thing about this competition is that. Only type of you know daily routine we have no time to communicate round the whole year we never get to meet up like we do here its super diffuse out of the whole because. I support. After the winner is awarded think finally have time to party. But the very next morning the sherpas of the high touches keep their loads on to their fabrics and set out once again to keep the largest supplied with everything they need. Its starting to get cold in many parts of europe but in on the lucia in the south of spain its the long mostly sunny and mild the reach of us 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 was the city of nada and that is where my colleague magalie spent a perfect week at.
