This a clown cake I made for my daughter's school fund-raiser. She was very happy, sitting with me and mixing the colours! Good advertisement for Americolor!
I do not like the bright colours, but I was given a picture and had to try to copy it on the cake.
I have attached pictures of both the cake and the original clown picture.
Thanks for looking!

I think that you did a great job with the clown and think the border is pretty cute. The colour are so bright but being a clown i think it looks fantastic.

You did a great job with this! I bet it will be a big hit! The colors are bright, but they have to be for a clown cake...nobody likes dull clowns!! Very nice!

First, I want you to know that I hate clowns. I am 26 years old and still hide my face if I see a clown, it doesn't matter if it's Ronald McDonald or those creepy little Kazim clowns. Ok...so i told you this because I want you to know what a huge compliment it is when I tell you that you did a wonderful job on that cake! I think the colors look great with it and you did a great job making the cake look like the picture you were given. Good job!

Fantastic!! The colors look great for a clown. Now, for a wedding cake, not so much.

Fantastic job on the clown, much better than the picture. I really like the two tone of the blue collar, it gives it dimension. Beautiful!

Thank you all!

Samsgranny, it was the first time I was trying the two bags in third bag technique... I did it on the ruffle and on the hair. I too, was pleased with it, though I think the ruffle is not neat enough.

Pootchi,all4cake, JulieB, kazoot, shrek, gibson, beez, ape, Misst, petitesweet, monstersmom, eilers, Dolly-bird26, tgirl22.. Thanks for the nice comments!

emilykakes your comment made me smile! I like his hair too!

Kellie1583 Your compliment is extra special!

This was a cake iced in superfast time... I had 90 mins only to ice it. I had baked it the day before, and put a basic cooked chocolate icing on it. The kids loved the bright colours! Which I didn't initially, but now I like them too.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

clowns scare the $%*& out of me too, and I'm 22. I avoid them like the plague. That being said, I think you did a wonderful job on the cake- I love the colors- and the clown came out good too, even though it makes me have the willies.
