Tree Stump
We saw this kind of cake on this site done by Franmjc from Australia, and really loved it so much we decided to do it for a party planning expo at our local mall. My husband did most of the work on it, since he happens to have most of the sculping abilities! Anyway, this is his version. This is one that went on the news station this morning!
Wow, this is absolutely fantastic. What a work of art. I would really have hated to cut this one.
Absolutely beautiful. You and your husband are very talented!!! I would love to try one of these cakes one day but I'm sure it won't look half as good as yours does :)
LOve it!!!!!
HOLY SMOKES!!! That's the most incredible cake I've seen in a Long time!! You are true Artists!!
WOW! That's awesome! Great job!
Unbelievable talent!!! Spectacular!!
That is amazing! Can you tell us how you did it?
well, we give credit to franmjc; it was her idea first; getting the bark on the tree wasn't hard, but sculpting the critters was quite an endeavor for Dev... I think they are my favorite part!
outstanding! You guys are going to be busy with orders!
You just take 3 double layer rounds, stack them up, and then cut strips of brown fondant. Apply them to the rounds, and then texturize them while they are still pliant. FOr the face, you have to wing it, but you just mold out the trunk intrinsically, and then the ivy is from a gumpaste cutter.
Great Job Ellen, How long did it take you to do this ??
I don't know what to say but wow, amazing..... you did an awesome job. This doesn't look like a cake at all. This would be one of those cakes you don't want to cut up. Fantastik work!
Did you color it via airbrush? I can't wait to get an airbrush.... anyway, Awesome cake!
Awesome cake, what else can I say, keep up the good work
That is amazing!!! Great job!!
Holy! wow! wow! wow! GREAT JOB! A++++ for realism!
I need to make sure my husband gets credit on this one; he is the true amazing talent of the two of us. I really helped out on small details (like cutting out the ivy, etc). It took him a few hours to do the bark; sculpting the critters is what took most of the time. Yes, he did airbrush it, but the animals were hand-painted with food color and titanium white.
Awsome in every way!
amazing - fabulous!
