I posted a pic of my carved gator cake, and with all the photo stuff going on here it came up all wierd and it was only viewed six times (three of those were me). Anyway, I'd appreciate you guys taking a look. thumbs_up.gif

I thought you could set your CC preferences, so that you could be emailed when somone left a comment on a photo or replied to a forumn post.

I would also LOVE if you had directions. But I'm sure it would be to much of a bother to write em down. Your cake looks SO AMAZING!!! I would like to know how you did the scales or whatever on the top. Everything blends so smoothy together. Did you attach them then smooth it or.......?

I get timed out when I try and look at pics in the forums or galleries. I am so bummed about it. I am at work and the computer here does it and my computer at home does it. I know it's not me. I think it's the servers at CC, they just can't keep up. It's so depressing though seeing all these thumb sized photos but you want to see the details to it and can't. Oh well. Maybe we should have a fund raiser for CC so they can get another server!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So anyways that's why I can't see your cake.

Thank you all so much! I too share your frustration with the galleries, but I know Jackie is working on it. There are just so many pics uploaded every day. I'm not sure what they are going to do all of them.

This was my first attempt at a Gator cake, but after all the National Championships, I think I'll be making more of these!

It was really difficult! Thank goodness my fondant stretches a little or I would have never made it! It took my husbands help too. In the beginning I would never let him touch my cake stuff, but now he's the only one I trust to help with things.

I never let my BF touch anything cake. But then one day I had a cake disaster and got really frustrated so he just said "don't worry about it, I'll bake you another one" I was like "What?!?" haha I have so many little tricks I do when I bake I said he wouldn't know them all and I didn't feel like explaining. BUT I guess he had been watching me bake before and it came out Perfect! He let me rest for a few hours, gave me a perfect cake ready to decorate!! So now I let him help a little as long as his hands are clean!!

Daniellemhv, I'd never let hubby go near the oven! He is the only person I take with me to set up wedding cakes. If I could just teach him to roll out fondant I'd be so happy. I keep telling him he can be my Geoff (from Ace of Cakes.)

OMG! That gator is awesome! My three year old son was sitting in my lap when I looked at it and he pointed and said "Wow". Well done. I don't think I would have the guts to even try that.
