This is a mini stacked cake for a womens' tea centerpiece -6"x6" /4"x6" copied (hate to use that word- hers is MUCH better than mine!) from the Whimsical Alexandra by Melysa in CC's gallery. Decorations are fondant. The actual cake came out nice, but fondant I covered it w/had bright white gel color in it which ruined it - it was sliding off the cake & ripping! No time to re-do it because I would have had to make a new batch of fondant, so I had to patch it -was very upset. I love the design, though!

A very pretty cake! Was it easy to make the curled up fondant on the top layer - I would never have tried this as I imagined that the curl would keep dropping out!

Thank you - I was in tears with this one - I have never had fondant fall apart on me like this! :cry: I found the top very hard to make - getting the size and "cuts" just right. I used small dowels to hold the curls.
