His Favorite Spot
I used tip #1D to pipe the hills on the side and #352 to make the pines. Fondant is the foundation for the bear and royal icing was applied and textured to look like fur. He was painted with a petal dust and lemon extract mixture. The large pine is royal icing piped with #352 and dried over a parchment cone that was then peeled away. Tip #47 was used to cover a hidden pillar for the trunk.
This is the cutest cake!!!! I love the bear, he is just too cute!!!
I LOVE THIS CAKE!!! A WINNER ALL THE WAY !!!
Amazing!

WOW!
So charming; just a sweet, beautiful cake. I may try to copy this one!
Great Job!
Is the cone tree sturdy enough to be transported? I've used royal icing and they've crumbled or break when transported.
That is just too cute!! How did you texture his fur?
Thank you for the compliments! To answer a couple of the questions (sorry for the delay - haven't looked at this in awhile) The royal icing pine tree transported very well - it took a 6 hour drive to get where it was going actually. No trouble with crumbling or breaking. I add extra meringue powder to the basic Wilton recipe; 5 tablespoons for each pound of sugar instead of their suggested 3. Maybe that makes it stronger.
Answering the question about the bear's fur - I piped royal icing on fairly thickly using a round tip (#3 I think) and then dragged a dampened paint brush through it in the direction I wanted the fur to lay.
too cute!
