All Geared Up Steampunked Cake
My imagination was all geared up and ready to create, unfortunately my cake decorating skills don't quite live up to my imagination. For now I'm happy with what I did and maybe someday I'll actually be good a this. I learned that making a large number of components in gumpaste/fondant is much more time consuming than the clay I'm used to working with! It cures in a half hour...these took DAYS to dry and paint! But I had a blast making it! Ivory buttercream with fondant/gumpaste details and LOTS of metallic luster dust!

First Layered Buttercream Cake
Buttercream with fondant/gumpaste decorations. First time I've frosted a cake that wasn't still in a pan! I think it came out pretty good and I learned so much from the effort, especially the value of a Viva towell!! Can't wait for the next one. I've learned so much in the past couple of months from CC!!
