My Fair Cake!!
This is the cake that I've been posting in "parts" ... I've never been to a county fair before so I was clueless of what to do. Since I love RI flowers and moved to WI, I did the flowers that bloomed this sping ... lilacs, pink crabapple, violets (state flower), and bridal veil. It was so time consuming but VERY addictive. It was too "busy" for me, but I was thrilled to place 1st, Grand Champion, and Best of Show!! Thanks everyone for your advice and inspiration!
WOW NOW THATS A GREAT CAKE im making fake cake for my fair this year was yours a real one ? and was it fondant
WOW 8O absolutely stunning. My favorite for sure.
The cake is a "dummy" ... but since I didn't want to spend more than I could make on it, I did not buy forms. I turned my pans over and covered them in fondant :oops: It worked ok -- the plastic wrap gave me some problems. I used royal icing and MMF ... Cakebaker1957, I hope your cake goes well ... you don't live in WI do you?!? :wink:
Oh, the bow was MMF and fadded drasticly by the end of the weekend ... it was the color of the crabapples when it got judged -- it looks a bit off :? (lesson learned!!)
