I'm wide awake and I'm making a small birthday cake for my nephew. It's a ten inch round chocolate cake with cookie and cream filling. The theme is mickey mouse so I'm thinking of painting Steamboat Willie on top since my brother is more old school.... cant wait!
Wow, Kita, I gotta practice. I wanna do that! It really looks like expensive fabric. GREAT job!
Yeah what's the name of that fabric????? I was trying to describe it to someone and can't for the life of me remember what its called....
Seriously if you use the gentle pearl color and nice cold firm fondant, its really easy!!!! Way easier than doing the royal icing thing.
Thanks!
kitagirl...gorgeous! Yes, it's Damask and no, don't add a thing to it...it's perfect!
I love love love your cake Kitagirl - and I agree with the pp that I may try my airbrush machine more before purchasing the cricut. And as a hobby sewer - I think you are referring to 'jacquard' fabric - it's sometimes a tone on tone but with a sheen.
I just finished 3 simple cakes for a bridal shower tomorrow. Then tomorrow I have 10 - yes 10 - 6" 1 layer cakes to decorate for a First Communion service on Sunday!
Have a great night - I'm headed to bed early for a Friday night!
Suze
I just finished my "open gift box" cake 
I LOVED it. So fun.
I enjoy how much I am learning in what seems to be a little bit of time. I've only been decoating for a year now
Okay here is a picture of it in my fridge.
Its going to go on a decorative gold-ish stand so hopefully the presentation will be really nice tomorrow, right now it looks like it needs more flowers but I wanted it not to be too busy.At least this way you can see what I mean by airbrushed stencil...I do think this one was much easier than the black royal icing stencils I did last month! haha.
Wow! Gorgeous.
Damask isn't a specific pattern. It's like Jacquard in that way. They're old, old textile patterns, achieved originally by weaving.
Cool. Well...its one or the other. haha. Or both! Maybe its a different weight? I always think "damask curtains" or jacquard being in the fabric store for sewing...maybe its the weight of it or something?
I had someone who wanted a tasting for a 6" round cake.
Uhh, NO.
wackadoodles.
LOL I had client wanting to taste 'several flavors' so they could order 12, 12!!!! cupcakes. pleeease. 
Most stores usually have it with the pie filling in the baking aisle....I love making pumpkin cake! I use it for tastings and stuff sometimes, esp when the brides are looking ahead for fall flavors!
yeah, I know where they usually have it - it's just that no one had any! I volunteer at my daughter's school in the kitchen and the lady that runs it pulled one out of the pantry for me

Wow that's weird! Almost all of our grocery stores carry it year round. Of course maybe that's just because nobody buys it most of the year. haha.
