I did this cake for my first cake competition, the North Texas Cake and Sugar Art Show. I took a first place ribbon in my category Adult Intermediat - Novelty Tiered. The main comment from the judges was that next year I should enter the next level up which I took as a massive compliment. The book and base of the house are cake dummies. The main roof is RKTs covered in fondant. The little lighthouse on top is fondant panels with gelatin windows. The tree and hedges are RKTs covered modeling chocolate. The clear hearts at the entrance I made using the Cake Play isomalt sticks which I love. The board is fondant and took FOREVER because I made it so the tiles would be flush. A big shout out to Sharon Z?s amazing DVDs?I used her book DVD to help me through the book and I used several techniques from her boxes and bows for other parts of the cakes. Thanks for looking and anyone considering entering a cake show, I highly recommend it. A lot of stress but also a lot of fun.
