Lav Whimsical Topsy Turvy
2nd time making topsy turvy cake. All mmf, choc rasp cake w/ rasp flav icing. I had no problems with the bottom tier. But the top tier decided it was going to take a stance against me. The footprint size increased by about 25% by the time I was ready to plop it on top. The dense choc cake seemed too soft suddenly. But we made it through. This side of the picture looks alright, but another qtr of a turn, the cake looked a bit out of whack. I'm determined to succeed in making it turvy the way I want.

Tinkerbell Fairy
Although it doesn't quite look like the young Tinkerbell, it still looks like a fairy. Gumpaste fairy in buttercup. All MMF. Red Velvet w/ cream cheese filling. For a 13 year old. Fairy was not easy, nor hard. I would have liked more realistic extremities. We are our own worst critics! Cake bulged around the mid, used as class demonstration on fondant covering cake and board, in new Wilton Fondant/Gumpaste class. Got excited and pull down too much.
