Piranha Plant Cake

Skill level: Advanced

This classic Super Mario enemy is back again in all it's glory. If there's one thing that I wanted to teach in this tutorial, it was how to get that crazy bend in the Piranha plant's neck without compromising the creative vision and it turned out so good!

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a dynamic cake structure to support the Piranha Plant's head, how to detail the teeth, lips spots and leaves, how to add and sculpt the tongue and how to create the green pipe cake.

There's a lot to cover in this tutorial, so let's get our tools together and let's get started!
