Well... this cake ended up looking differently than I had planned but..it was my first time using the color mist and my first time doing the stacked construction like this. My husband thought it was like a traffic signal (red, yellow, green) since it's the cake for their office today. I hope it transports well and I hope they get a kick out of it.
I wish I would have smoothed the sides one more time before doing the color mist but...after doing it I couldn't smooth them. Oh well lesson learned. :o)
Well...on the actual cake you can read the two names at the top better. :lol:
It looks very nice... if you use the crusting buttercream icing, you can use the smooth side of a Viva papertowel and rub lightly to get a much smoother effect .. I do this to all my cakes :)
I did but...needed to another time before doing the color mist. The color mist really made everything show. :oops:
Looks good to me! A lesson learned the hard way is usually the lesson we remember longest! :P
Did you use dowl rods or push pillars when stacking? I've never used dowl rods and I dont know why but I'm scared too!!
I used the dowel rods and it really wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. :lol: I got a pair of garden cutters and a rubber hammer to *build* with. I have used the pilar const. before so...wanted different *lesson*. :D I forgot to mention that they all loved the cake! Next month, my freezer permitting, I might try a cupcake cake for them.
