Hey Guys! My parents are having there house remodled, and my Dad is having his bathroom done in mexican tiles. His birthday is in January, so I made him this cake, unfortunately, we do not live close together, so Im going to mail him the pic framed! I made the tiles by cutting them to shape and then painting them! They are made out of MMF, love that stuff, I cant say it enough!

this is just really gorgeous!! My husband and I were at a Mexican restaurant last week, looking at the tile, and he even said, "this tile would make a great cake." Glad you got to do it!!

Make sure you mention to your dad that you made the tiles out of fondant! Just looking at the cake they look so real- I wouldn't have guessed that they weren't actual tiles! You did a really beautiful job!

Thank you all so much! It was very labor intensive, but I was happy with the way it turned out. Briansbaker, that looks cool with the border! Ive now gotta figure out if Im going to send it framed or not! All your compliments mean a lot to me, thanks again!
