The October 2007 tip is tip 5!!

Remember, anyone can participate! We love to have new people join in the fun!!


Here are the clubs guidelines":

* You can use any kind of icing that you can put in a piping bag and use the tip that was selected.

* You can only use the tip of the month to decorate the cake. There is only one exception to this rule and that is that you can use tip 789 to get your base frosting on. You can also start with fondant if you like.

* You can alter the tip by blocking off parts of the tip but you MUST USE THE MONTHY TIP!

* All pictures must be new!

* Please dont post monthly cakes in your album until the month is over!

*Please post pictures in this thread. DO NOT CREATE A SEPARATE THREAD FOR YOUR PICTURES! Please post a maximum of 3 photo posts per person in this thread for the monthly theme. You may however use graphics programs to create a collage of different pictures/angles (that collage will count as one photo post).

* Everyone who wishes to has and opportunity to suggest a monthly tip may do so by entering it in the thread or by sending TheCakeGirl87 a PM. I will tally all the votes and announce it at the beginning of every month.


Happy Baking, everyone! I cant wait to see what everyone comes up with!!!!

*Edited: You can also start your cake with fondant*

Sooooo glad to know we can use the icer tip! That will save LOTS of time, especially with a 5 tip!

What is the deadline for October 5 tip cakes to be in??? You must have a deadline!

Oohh, this sounds like fun. What a great way to get your creative juices flowing. May I join you??

Jump on board JenLen!! The more the merrier! Glad you found the thread!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with, I have no creative juices for this tip. I can only do a line with it. Hahahahahahaha.....................

What does everyone want to do? Do you want to just do this for fun and have the due date the 31st, or do you want to choose a winner at the end of each month and stop the 28th?

I think we need to stop on the 28th and vote on a winner.

You can count me in on this one for sure. I am already excited about what everyone will come up with.

Now that all the birthdays and classes are done, I don't really have any projects on the go. Perfect time for something like this!!

Edited to ask ... can we start with fondant covered cake instead of one iced in BC? Then decorate with tip 5 ...?

You can start with fondant if you would like.

I was going to make a JUST BECAUSE cake tomorrow so I'll try the #5 tip. This will be fun.
Thanks for starting this up,
Susie

The cakegirl87, after reading a few posts maybe you should keep it "just for the challenge" and no voting for a winner. So a simple rule that says; All cakes due by last day of the month?
Sounds good if that is what others want and most importantly it needs to be kept fun.

Whatcha say?

ALL IN, Tip #5 it is, and we'll post pics and such on 28th?
Where do you want us to post these and such?

I'm in! This is going to be fun!

Hey Susie, I don't think we have to wait until the end of the month to post our pictures in this thread........only into our albums. Is this the way you read it too?

Back to decorating cakes so I can be finished before the sun comes up tomorrow!

Lea,
Ok, I just read it all over again and I think you are right. I'm not sure why that would be the case but I think it is saying we can NOT post to our photo gallery but we can post within this thread.
Thanks for making that clearer to me,
Susie

Ah ha! I see! Every time we post a photo or a question etc. the thread gets popped back up to the top and more may join in.
I will be making my Tip #5 cake tomorrow.

Thanks,
Susie

Hmm..tip 5, there's one that will need some thought. Already lost on what to do for my ''Theme of The Month" cake. Now I have to think twice as hard....ahhhh.

Ok here goes.......

I made one of these on Monday for work and got 2 orders for tomorrow. As I was doing them I thought... geez... this is a tip #5!!!

Cake is vanilla with a crumb coat of BC, Tip #5 used for the spaghetti - meatballs were done with my two little hands (are they ok?) and the sauce (rasp jam thinned) was put on with a #5 tip. The "boys" are cupcakes with the same process - just smaller meat-a-balls...

Does this qualify? I know we have seen a zillion of these but I was just thrilled that I did something completely with a #5!!

Thanks ~ let me know if I did this right...

COOL!!!

Wow, ValMommyto Danny, that looks so real!! I want to eat it!!

Thanks guys!

Val, great spaghetti cake and I especially like the cupcakes you made along with it! What a great way to exhibit #5 tip!!!

Greart job!

You made an awesome cake Val!!!
