Gumball Machine
Oh I am SOOO not happy with this cake. This is for Fall Festival Auction at school. Everything went wrong with the decorating aspect. Fondant gave me fits...NOT a easy cake to do in my opinion, but it's done! 4 layers, torted and filled with chocolate chip dark chocolate buttercream and iced with a raspberry bc and topped off with fondant. GP details. This cake is as sturdy as they come though. Never moved in Delivery even with the GLASS bowl lol. Thanks jkalman for all your help and inspiration! :)
I agree - it looks good!!!! You are braver than me to take on something like this......:) Great job!!
Looks terrific! How did you stabilize the bowl?
This is awesome! Duff did one like this and yours looks just as good if not better!
Love it! It looks great! I don't see what you are not happy with. I am making one next week, I am so excited!
Thank you for your lovely comments. I stablized the bowl by using dowells and a cardboard round. This was actually a GLASS bowl to boot because I couldn't find a plastic one. It was dowelled heavily 4 times each layer then a center dowell going through the whole thing.
Wow!! This cake is sooooo cool!!! You did a fabulous job!! :D
Awesome job Christi....it looks great and you did a great on the cake!! I feel for you, my digital bite the dust last month :( God Bless Sharon

Sorry for the awful pic. Digital camera giving me fits this morning!
Oh gosh.. the way you were talking I was expecting a total mess.. it looks good!!! I am sure everyone will love it! It sounds really yummy too! And a glass bowl to boot? WTG! You should be proud!
Christi, this is great!!!! It looks perfect! I'd expect to be able to put in a quarter and get one of those gumballs!
You are officially insane. How could you not be happy with this?! Whatever challenges your fondant gave you, you BEAT it in the end - looks fantastic! I love your dispensed-gumball at the bottom - that little holder is the perfect extra detail. Amazing!
It looks great. It perfect! I can't believe you traveled with the glass bowl on top on the cake. I wasn't that brave with my gumball cake.

Judy I sprayed it with a preval sprayer with a mixture of grain alcohol and pearl dust. Thank you for the comments :)
