I can't believe you don't have her video!!! Your work is so spot on to her video, I thought for sure you had it!! I am in the process of watching all of her videos, i finally got some $$ so the first thing that I did was buy all of her DVD's and some really cool tools!! I am watching the Boxes and Bows now, I also have one of those kids who insists on eating and such! haha!! She has no respect for Sharon! I certainly wouldn't interrupt someone watching a Sugarshack DVD!
Anyway - basically, what I'm saying is that your cake is simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh - and how did you do the feather? A friend wants to make a replica of her derby hat for a party and it has feathers - I said - "i have no idea!" - you would totally make me a rock star if you could share your secret on that one!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
JAW DROPING
SPECTACULAR
STUNNING!
I am pea green with envy!
I LOVE this cake! BRAVO!
[quote="pkinkema"]Oh my!!!! I've got cold chills (or chicken skin as my daughter says)!!
Goosey-bumps. hehe
But seriously I think Sharon would agree that she puts on her pants one leg ata time just like the rest of us. 
Now her icing a cake is a nother story! 
I just have to say though that Sharon, you are a real sweetie -down to earth gal with a giving heart of gold. And I so want to come and play with some sugar in one of your classes! Someday maybe-a girl can dream can't she?
Oh yeah-DOH! I in my sleep deprived stupor misspelled your name in the post title! 
Sorry! hehe
Tee hee.
Ya'll are silly girls.
I am just a plain ole cake gal, just like ya'll!
But you make me smile with your comments!!!
I seriously just adore the whole "feel and style" of this cake. Seems to me that all my cakes look the same.
I'm gunna copy this as soon as I get a chance!
(But I won't claim the design as my own, I promise!)
Fantastically, stunning, perfect, beautiful cake!! Great job!
Not that I'm anywhere near your league (or Sharon's!) - but I noticed your saying your hand was sore - and, I just learned last weekend (because my hand was killing me try to use the small extruder for fondant) that after you put the fondant it - pop the whole extruder into in the microwave for 5 seconds (no more) - and it comes out like a dream - easy peasy. You just have to let it sit for 30 seconds or so to cool before you try to handle it. Oh - but my extruder is plastic - I don't know if you could do that with a metal one.

Can I ask where you got your extruder? I was thinking about ordering the one on Sharon's website but I don't know if that's plastic or not. I will tell you this, last weekend I was in a class with Carrie Biggers at the NCACS and people were saying that if you have a newer microwave (3 years or younger) you can put the stainles bowl in to nuke RI (it may have b een something other than the RI) in for 30 seconds. About half of the class agreed this could be done but mine is attached to the oven which came with the house which is about 8 years old. Sorry to babble and to hi-jack the thread.
To the OP: I am in total awe. It is absolutely stunning. I cannot believe you did this without the dvd. You are really an excellent cake artist. 
YIKESSSSS!!!!, ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY OUTSTANDING AND JAW DROPPING...(sorry, I'm not yelling just shocked)....Wow, I'm a begginer so I bow my humble head to you master...you rock!!!
Clap, clap, clap ---standing ovation----
Maybe, in my next life I'd be able to do something close to that...maybe 
I actually have a smallish plastic extruder that I bought from the sculpey clay section of Michaels. I just sanitized it and only use it for fondant. (And - hope this doesn't get me in trouble on here - I'm assuming that it's food safe.) It was very inexpensive - under $10.00.
Gosh, you must be so proud! It's absolutely beautiful...one of those cakes nobody will want to cut!
Your cake is absolutely beautiful amazingly so!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like Sugarshack has some serious competition going on!! 
Thank you soo much for your complimets! 
Hi Mr. Wonderbuns! ...hehe let's see Sharon has a sucessfull busness and teaches and sells teaching DVD's while I on the other hand am a home baker who has made less cake then you can count on both hands...LOL I'd say that's is no competition. I can dream though.
OMGosh don't put me opposite the ring of Sharon the Sugarshack Champion! My piping bag will burst a seam! LOL
Hey Sharon, put up your dukes girly! 
JK ..ROFLMBO!
Would ya settle for a hug? Or would that be to much excitment for you Mr. wonderbuns? 
Girl on girl action with icing on top. HA!
That is BEAUTIFUL! I am working to reach your level of expertise, and it is cakes like that, that inspire me to do more. THANK YOU!

Your cake is breathtaking
I am so impressed because it is not only technically impressive but also completely original.
You talked about trying to create a whole vignette. Can I ask what was the inspiration for your cake?
I'm asking cause I'm not terribly original in my designs and I wonder what how people come up with such iinspiration.
BTW did you really eat it?
It's all been said so I try not to go oozing all over my keyboard with my intense LOVE for this cake! And all while meeting the demands of the little ones (that's what makes the process soooo much longer!). I've had many a neglectful day myself coupled with some llllaaaate nights but I have NEVER - NOT EVER - come close to creating something like THIS!!! It's artwork!
All I can do is shake my head! One of those rare beauty's that leave you without words or sense enough to wipe the drool from your chin before it puddles in your lap (great, now it looks like I've peed on myself - or wait! Maybe I did! D$&* you and that gorgeous cake!!!! )
What would someone charge for a cake like this. I'm an at home mom/baker/decorator too so have no concept of what to charge for my cakes. Any more experienced bakers have a range??? I'm so curious.
Bravo!!!!!
Ahhh ... Tanka tanka!
Nannie(that's what I have lovingly called my grandma since I was a small child) After the my last couple of cakes I picked them apart and found the feeling I was trying to covey was not comming across. So I literally went to the drawing board and sketched out my ideas for my next cake(the Supergirl!) complete with side notes on boarder details..ect. I planned the whole thing out and colored in with crayons to test it out. I allowed myself time before backing to work on the gumpaste things that could be ready and waiting for assembly time. That made things go really smooth! I kept thinking about it and kept coming up with more details like the cryptonight and fancy sparkles and baroque molded peices. after the finish I desided that this is the way for me to work from now on!
I did the same thing for this cake with my heart behind it and finally said what the hay and I'd throw myself into it and and go crazy overboard. I started sketching a present because I have admired Sugarshack's boxes and wanted to add one to my slowly growing portfolio. So I sketched and thought for a couple days and kept adding things. I searched on google images for inspiration and saved picks with things I loved.
I have a passion for interior design and often will often peruse mags and pictures in line for rooms and I love the feeling that the total package gives you.
I AM A HOPELESS ROMANTIC! And that comes in handy...LOL
I also love things that are A-symetrical but are also slightly balanced.
CakeDiosa You had me laughing!!!! That's great. You have a gift for gab girl! I am also a home baker and wonder about pricing... hmmmm what could I get for a little couture cake like this? It is on the small side but ya know...? Now you have me wondering. 
Funny I made this a as a surprize for my hubby because he didn't get any cake last weekend-that he asked for. I wasn't finished with it when he got home but was in the home stretch with sp all over me and my hair all back in a pony and head wrap..LOL what a sight I was and he brought me roses as a surprise. Ahh love....
Sadsmile, your sugar creation is truly beautiful beyond words, and....I think the fact that you put all that time and effort into a cake for your sweet husband is the best part!
WOWWWW!!!!!!!!! Your cake is jaw dropping stunning!!!! You did a prefect job on it! I love love your design and your decorating skills are amazing
You should be so very proud of yourself and of your cake...and so better your DH I love the look of this cake, beautiful, outstanding, amazing, wonderful, jaw dropping, mind blowing, eye popping.....hehehe, I could go on and on.
Can't help but love Sharon and her work. People like her and others who share, infomation, tips, pics, recipes, videos and put out dvd's...are such a great and wonderful help to other caker's. They not only do all that, but they can cause us to have such a feeling of pride in something that we do/learn by their giving and sharing. I love her dvd's
Again, your cake is a beautiful piece of art!!! I am doing the Sugarshack Cha Cha Cha for you girl Now a question for you...have you cut it yet?, if so I hope is wasn't to painful
God Bless,
Sharon
