My Version Of Lambeth Method
Okay, this is all you're going to get. I have one more tier to put on. I shouldn't have even shown you all this much. I typically wait until after the show but if I did that with this I might not want to show it . You can tell I have confidence! I have so many of you out there in Cake Central land that have taken an interest in my project that I figured I owed you all this shot.
that's gorgeous!
Very pretty work....
Wow!! 8O Very pretty . . . . and ALOT of work :D !!!!
Thank you! All that minus the leaves took me two hours. This is a 14" round!
stunning, I think you did a fabulous job...beautiful.
WOW! Very nice, certianly must be very talented! WOW!
I've never heard of that nor seen it, but I LIKE it. Very good job. It's beautiful
WOW!!! Its gorgeous
wonderful!!!!
cakemommy, you just keep amazing me! :P :P
Thank you everyone! I keep amazing myself although remaining very critrical :? I'm glad I have a fan base :lol: :lol:
Wow!! 8O That's just beautiful.
Wow, it's incredible!!! It's so detailed and so much work, and sooo pretty!
It's absolutely beautiful. And I'm guessing very time consuming. Great job.
Fantastic!
amazing...i so do not have the patience for that :roll: And I am like you...perfectionist. If everything wasn't perfectly even it would drive me bonkers. you did an awesome job
Neither do I! :sssh: :twisted: You have no idea how many times I've taken those bottom drop strings off and redone them. I'll be doing it again tomorrow morning rest assured! :D
Delicate, beautiful and so different !!! It's like going back in time.Lovely color!
beautiful cake. How long did it take you to do that?
Thank you! The bottom border about 2 1/2 hours total time and the top about another 2 hours.
Be careful, if they are too perfect they might not look REAL! :wink:
Funny! I spent 30 minutes this morning tearing off all the top border. I am redoing it!
I like it. How did you make the 3rd line of icing? Is this a special tip?
Looks beautiful and elegant.
You have said it!! Practice makes perfect and you have accomplished it!! Good luck!
Looks awesome to me! You should definitely go for it.
Beautiful cake! I love all decoration and details! I wish you all the bests from my heart.
Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement. I am really excited to do this cake for the show but I always always second guess myself and I am definately doing that right now.
it looks amazing!! I can't even think of how I'd begin to do that!! GREAT work!!!
It looks great! I love the Lambeth method. What are you using for your instruction? I saw a great step by step tutorial once but can't remember where. It was on someone's website. Not the ugly two toned pics I've seen recently though. Someone doing a beautiful job. I can't wait to see your final product!
O WoW! How Gorgeous!
That is Beautiful! I REALLY like that top border. The Colors look nice too.
Fantastic!! That's really a lot of work & time! Good luck!! I wanted to ask the same question CarolAnn asked.. is there a tutorial? I've wanted to learn this method. Oh.. are you using RI or BCI? I can't see using BCI, too soft.
Thanks tc~it's definately royal icing. It can be done in buttercream but RI is highly recommended as it dries quicker and shows more definition. I am using my Joseph Lambeth book. Both of Toba Garrett's books feature her version of this style!
Oh my gosh, it sure looks perfect to me!!! Beginner, ha! I can't wait to see the final cake! Good luck!
Very impressive~!
You're doing just a lovely job! I'm enjoying watching the progression, and look forward to seeing the finished work! Good luck at the show!
WOW!! Stunning work.
I can't wait to see the end result. I have seen the other pictures and that is going to be beautiful! the best of luck to you.
Great job cakemommy! I can't wait to see it all finished...remember to keep thinking outside the box and always look in your underwear drawer for insparation...LOL
What gorgeous string work! I love the color, too. Best of luck!
mthiberge~ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
stunning!!!
lovely what a steady hand you have....beautiful
Thank you! It's all about breath control too!! :oops:
Great job!!! I've been trying to talk to you for weeks!! You go girl!! P.S. Did you check out the store yet????
OMG just breathtaking! I am in total AWWW!!!
I looked at your website after one of your posts and I must say, your cakes are absolutely beautiful. Your attention to detail is remarkable.
Exquisite work. ...and I LOVE that pink/purple color!
Just beautiful !!!! The detailed work is great and I love the color. I would say you did more than just a pretty good job
Thank you all! I am quite proud of myself. I was losing hope with that top tier. It was a last minute decision to add the scrolls and the curtain work. I wasn't about to rip off all that lattice...NO WAY! I had to salvage it somehow!
amazing job!...is this a class that you are taking or are you doing this on your own...it is amazing work...i was looking at toba's book today and was getting daunted by the prospect of it....it is just beautiful!
i love this.....beautiful job!
Thank you very much! First time trying the hailspotting technique!
amazing work! i cannot wait to see the final result!
WOW! I think you have acheived perfection!
Wow!...it's coming along gorgeously!
Thank you so much!
OMG girl, you are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're silly flava!!! Thank you so much you are too kind.
Stunning!
cakemommy, this is one of the most stunning cakes I have seen here. Absolutely stunning!
I can't even begin to imagine how long this must have taken you! It is absolutely beautiful! Just WOW! :o
Thank you! I am kind of depressed with it right now so I put it away. Never mind I leave for San Diego in 8 days! I have to drive down there with this thing.
Absolutely AMAZING!!! This is the best take on the lambeth method i've ever seen.
:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: I am just a beginner! There are far superior decorators of the Lambeth method on here like ShirleyW for one! She has given me such great advice on this cake. I really appreciate your compliment Aimee! I'm so embarrassed!
Wow, that is SO pretty very nicely done I wish my cakes looked like that must have taken a very long time
You are going to show us the finished cake after the show,Right? I have really loved seeing what you have done so far. It is gorgeous.
Oh I will definately show what the final looks like. I'll post after set up and before awards placements. I know I am not going to place because Foreign Technique is a tough tough category with professionals. I am an amateur decorator but will be place in this category regardless because it is a FT! I have no hope but hey, I wanted to do the cake anyway.
Is this the one you said you were hoping to get to San Diego in one peice?? Holy Sugar cones batman!!! I bow to your superior work!!! ;)
Let me tell you I am very picky and a perfectionist and I will not place a cake I don't love in my display freezer,I just love your work and I am crazy about any lace work I can't really make straight lines but I'm practicing I envy your level. This is what I call BEAUTIFUL
Wow, Just WOW!!
As I've said, I AM NOT WORTHY!!! Holy Moly Guacamole!! ;-D :lol:
Fooby, you're so silly! You've got the itch! Just practice!!
I got your message,thank you. I'm new with cake decorating ,I mean it's been close to 3 years and I consider myself new because I have no contact with other decorators until I found cc.LOVE your work good luck at the show let us know how it went.
Thank you for the well wishes!
I am just thinking of starting decorating - you have totally inspired me to get stuck into it...thank you
wow! this is just beautiful ,brilient job just want to know how you did all that my god the decoration is just fantastic
WOW!!!! There are no words.
Where did you learn this technique? Is it easy? Is there a tutorial?
Where can I find the Joseph Lambeth Boo? I would love to try this technique?
My sister bought my book off of ebay, the 1934 addition.
Absolutely gorgeous! It just looks so pretty and delicately detailed!
Lovely Amy.
That is CRAZY amazing good... I can only HOPE to be that good some day... way way way off in the future in another time and place... where i have time to learn that and time to practice that and well the skills to even DREAM of accomplishing something so beautiful
wow, so detailed and your spacing is perfect! I sure hope you win. So much work and so pretty!! Good luck ;-D
