This was an attempt at making a lighthouse. My daughter is coming to visit tomorrow and wanted a lighthouse cake for her birthday. Well I just had surgery on my shoulder last week and am still not up to par but I tried anyway. This came out so awful, but hopefully since she has never seen a 3d cake she wont notice how horrible it is. Hopefully yall can get a good laugh today lol cause we are rolling here. ![]()
Awwww, come on, it's not that bad! In fact it's quite good considering your handicap!!! I'm sure she'll love it whatever
. Love your kitchen curtains BTW ![]()
I can't see the picture real good (kinda dark) but from what I can tell it looks real good, hope your feeling better soon![]()
I think it just has that 'weathered' look. Just tell your daughter it survived a storm. ![]()
I looked at your other cakes in the gallery and some of your comments about them. I think you are way to hard on yourself. You do great work and I think the lighthouse looks nice especially since you just had surgery!

you can only call it the worst disaster ever if it: falls over, gets eaten by a dog or toddler before it can be presented to the person it was for, gets dropped on the floor, or makes everyone sick!!! HAHA
Seriously I think it looks fine and your daughter will be HAPPY that YOU made her a cake!
Just an update on the lighthouse cake, well since the cakes were still slightly frozen when I put them together (Mistake #1) they have now thawed completely and the lighthouse has sank down about 4 inches, needless to say all the fondant has slid down and looks like a big blobby mess at the bottom of the lighthouse, it is leaning so much that it now looks like the leaning tower of pisa. My DH says just tell her it went through a hurricane, LOL Well at least she will get a good laugh out of it and I know next time not to use frozen cakes, I was trying to make the cutting easier.Thanks for all the encouragement from you guys, I will try this cake again when my shoulder is 100% ![]()
