Well, tonight I did my first sculpted cake, its actually the top of a 3 tier birthday cake for my moms boss. (She works at a furniture store!) I was so excited at how it turned out. Im waiting for it to firm up so I can dust some of the cornstarch off.

However, as I was getting the 3 kids off to bed, (holding the 6month old) I slipped on a hardwood floor full of powdered sugar and probably who knows what, crisco, butter, cornstarch!! My feet were literally in the air above my head and I landed on my lowerback/rear end. OMG talk about excruciating pain. My poor kids, I screamed and then starting crying. They were scared too death. The baby was FINE!!! (protecting him made it a bad fall) DH is at work, I should be in bed but needed to get it out, hope ya'll dont mind.
Still proud of my chair, for a first time!!

BTW, dear sweet mom sympathized, listened to me cry, and tried to politely say "You can finish the cake tomorrow right?" sheesh

snicker....that is absolutely terrific! What a great cake...you should be very pleased with your accomplishment,,,,, well done!

oh dear! I surely hope you didn't seriously hurt yourself..talk about "blood, sweat and tears."

Your cake is lovely...looks like a comfy leather couch! Love the addition of the throw.

The cake looks amazing...and I hope you're okay. You're probably going to be very sore tomorrow, unfortunately.

Your right Angie, I'm feeling better but getting out of bed should not be pleasant. Doubt I could get husband to stay home from work!!

Thanks everybody for your sweet comments on the cake

Snicker that is too cool!

Your chair looks great!

the cake is adorable snick, glad to know the short one is ok, but hun you didn't have to bust yer backside. but in all seriousness, i do hope that you are ok and din't actually bust your tailbone (been there done that, couldn't sit for a month).

Alright I finished the cake. Should have stayed in bed but I knew tomorrow would be way worse!! I think I did pretty well considering I could hardly move I had a lot of trouble with my buttercream tonight, think it might be the dryness in my house!! Let me know what you think!

Absolutely adorable! I hope you feel better soon. You should be very proud of your cake.

Snicker! That's adorable! Great job despite your injury. Be sure to see a doctor if you are in too much pain tomorrow! Tail bones and pelvises aren't too difficult to fracture if you land just right! How scary for you, glad the baby is ok!

Thanks you guys, The more I look at it the more I like it!! tastycakes Ive thought about seeing a doctor tomorrow. I fell really hard. I dont think I broke anything, just sort of afraid maybe something went crazy in my back!! I appreciate everyones concern!

Let us know how you are later on! We'll be thinking of you!

Cake looks great, I hope you feel better soon!

glenda

Ooch...sounds pretty painful! Hope you are feeling better soon.

Your cake turned out just adorable! Great job!

I love the leather look. I just posted a chair I did for a little girl. I wish I had seen your cake first. It was my first time with MMF, so I certainly could have used some pointers on how you did yours. It looks great!

I hope you start to feel better soon!

Great Cake, but please don't get hurt every time you do a cake. We need you to stay around. Hope you are feelling better.

You guys are all very sweet! I really dont feel to bad this morning. Unfortunately DH is having a superbowl get together so I've got to do some cleaning Oh well, the advil is helping out!!

My mom loved the cake. Hopefully everyone at her work will keep me in mind in the future!!

KittisKakes I love your cake. You did a great job on that chair!!
BTW one quick question, I didn't charge my mom except supplies for this cake, but what would ya'll charge?? Just curious. The chair was easy, but kind of time consuming. (a lot of steps)

Sorry to hear that you took a fall. Especially holding a baby. Glad the little one is fine.

I love your cake! Great job!

Glad to hear you are not in too much pain today.

Oh poor thing! I hope you're feeling better...you should go to the docs and get an x-ray done as these injuries take a while to surface...if they go unattended they will haunt you forever!

If it serves of some consolation, as the others have said, your cake is absolutely gorgeous and well done. That chair is unbelievable for your first try! Keep up the good work! I also love the color combination...Modern and masculine as well as the overall design of the cake...

I love it!! It's so fun. You should be very proud of that creation! Hope you're feeling better!
