My First Mmf Cake, I Can't Bear To Cut It!!
Decorating By jenndga Updated 7 May 2007 , 1:11pm by dagrama
I just finished my first cake with MMF. It is only my 3rd decorated cake ever. It took over 8 hours for me to do and boy did I learn a lot of lessons! 
It is a 2 layer 9" chocolate cake, torted to 4 layers. It is filled with oreo mousse (WOW, yummy) and iced in decorators chocolate buttercream before being wrapped from the bottom up with fondant. All fondant decorations dusted with luster dust. I was trying to get the appearance of the cake literally being wrapped in fabric...
My husband and kids want to eat it... I want to spray it with laquer to make it last forever it took so much darned work! 
How do you cut into your creations that you spend so much time on????
I love the fabric look! Congrats on a wonderful job! Yes, I spent 12 hours on my last cake and did wait 24 hours before cutting into it. Take lots of photos of it from all angles, with and without flash, different lighting, LOL then let it sit on the counter to admire for a day (yeah fondant!) then you can cut it. Enjoy every bite.

I am ashamed to admit I never practice my cakes first so I can't say I have ever had this problem with my family wanting to eat them! They get them for their birthdays and so the cutting part isn't an issue, after all it's a birthday cake! As for the ones I sell, often people ask when they pick them up 'how should I cut it?' because they're used to slab cakes. Without trying to sound rude I tend to reply 'that's your problem, I just make'em!' mainly as I have no idea how to cut them myself! Morphogirl is right though. It's meant to be enjoyed. Admire it for a day and then dig in!
That cakes looks beautiful!!! DON'T CUT IT!! LOL
Just kidding. I guess it has to be done. I love the fabric look you got - great work
Beautiful cake!!! I'm sorry to tell you but you have to cut it!! There is no way a sane person would let yummy oreo mouse go to waste (I can eat the stuff with the spoon, who needs cake did I just say that???) I think I have to go lay down now.
btw, I would love to see a side view!
LOL!!!!!!!! You all put a huge smile on my face!!!!
I let hubby cut the cake.... and boy howdy did I eat a piece of that bad boy! I also eat the oreo mousse with a spoon.... oh yes, I licked the bowl. The beauty of baking after the kids go to bed. 
I did save my fondant decorations though.... I have my cake destroying limits! lol...
