First off I want to give credit to gakali because I used a picture from gakali's photos for my inspiration for this cake.

I tried uploading this pic to the gallery but it gave me some sort of a critical error about some PHP thingie. Then when I tried again it said I already uploaded it and wouldn't allow me to duplicate. Obviously I don't have this pic in my photos. So I'm posting it here icon_smile.gif

The bath tub cake is sitting on top of a sheet cake that I tiled with black and white squares so it looks like a bathroom floor. Making the tub was a lot harder that I had expected. I was very afraid I wasn't going to be able to get it done. But this is what I turned out with. BTW, the water is really blue. I have an old digital camera that doesn't know it's colors yet.

Any and all comments very welcome!
Thanks for looking,
Lazy_Susan

The bath tub is a small chocolate layer cake, about the size of a small loaf pan, covered in fondant. Then I went back and put a fondant ring around the top to make the lip of the tub (that was the tricky part)!!

I love this cake! All the details are great, love the towel on the head, how long did it you to do the floor (and how did you do this BTW), looks so effective! Great job thumbs_up.gif

Thank you icon_redface.gif

If you are inquiring about the floor, it's made out of fondant that I rolled out very thin. Then I measured them out to one inch squares and cut them out with a pizza cutter. After they dried, I used black food coloring mixed with Vodka and painted the black tiles. Then when they were all nice and dry I placed them on the cake icon_smile.gif
