icon_lol.gif Normally I would not make a post on a cake I am making unless I am needing help, however.......I am so proud of myself! I just had to share. I know there are FAR better decorators here, but this one made me pretty happy.

I have done this cake before, the directions were shared with me origionally by Sarahcakes. Her cake is Awesome. There are still a few things I would do differently, the gumpaste hood needs more work for one thing.

This is the first time I have done wood grain and any modeling to amount to anything.

both white layers were made with JEM cutters from Global sugar art

Then I used a plastic Wilton tool to emboss the piece.

Okay, so I just looked at the rest of the cakes in your gallery and I vote that you should change your screen name.

You aren't new to decorating anymore.....you are a "well seasoned" decorator now! HOLY COW!!!!! icon_eek.gificon_eek.gif

I saw Collette Peters make wood grain in about 2 min. It took me alot longer, but I tried to copy what I saw her do.

3 shades of brown, and 1 shade of a yellow-brown MMF in the shape of sausage links. Sit them side by side and roll into one long candy cane, but don't twist. Keep making the sausage long and fold it back on itself. Keep the lines of color straight. Repeat this several times. Then roll flat with a rolling pin.
I cut stripes of it out and put "nail" holes in the wood. Then stained the whole thing with Brown Wilton color mixed with vanilla. It settled into the cracks and stained them.
