Wow! That is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the different stages. I've been thinking about how I want to make my birthday cake to look this year and you've inspired me to try some interesting techniques. You could definitely write a book about inspiring people to come up with their own designs using yours as a kind of springboard.

Emma you truly have a God given talent as well as being very generous in sharing your process with us. I had to laugh at your commentary on the fuzzy pic. Although this cake is definately not to my taste it doesnt stop me from admiring your work and I am sure beyond a doubt that the bride and groom will love it, I am also sure that you would have no trouble at all getting a publishing company to take you on as a client when you are ready to write your book. If I remember correctly you are a teacher by profession and looking at your tutorial on this cake I have to say you must be an excellent teacher as you seem to have extreme patience lol. Bravo !!!! Well Done !!!!!

Thanks for sharing! What an awesome cake. I agree. You should be writing books and making DVD's.

thanks for sharing

Good God you make such beautiful creations!! Incredibly creative... this cake actually, literally gave me goosebumps! Amazing work... No wonder you don't want to make an instructions list! How time consuming... but this was a perfect idea!

Emma,
You do the most amazing work! Every cake you post is truley a work of art! Thank you so much for sharing, and anytime you want to do any kind of tutorial, you know I'll be studying it. Again, beautiful job from you, again.

Oh my! What a process! You are fabulous! A true artist! If I tried something like you do-it would be ugly! Thanks for taking the time to take pictures and comments on your beautiful cake. You should definatley do a book. It would sell like hotcakes!

all i can say is wow...very nicely done. thank you for taking the time to take pic's of each step.

Emma,

With many thanks! You should write a book! I know everyone here would buy it!

Just spectacular. it amazes me how you can "see' that in your imagination. I probabaly would have stopped at step 4 and considered it done.
Thanks for the time you took to put that together.

Emma, thank you very much for sharing your pictures.

once again bows in homage at a master decorator's feet!!!

I so enjoy your cakes and your unique artistic vision. Truly a wonderful site to behold whenever you make a cake!

thanks so much for the pics -- bookmarked them for future reference.

I.won't.write.a.massive.response.as.the.blasted.space.bar.is.broken.as.you.can.see!

Thank.you.so.mcuh.for.your.lovely.comments.
I'm.thinking.about.writing.a.cake.blog.and.this.response.has.made.me.feel.positive.about.doing.that

In.answer.to.questions

I.have.no.idea.how.much.it.weighs-I.can.just.about.carry.it.but.my.arms.shake.when.I.do!

It's.a.fruit.cake.so.it.can.be.left.out.forever!..This.also.makes.it.heavier!

It.took.three.and.a.half.days.in.total

The.bride.hasn't.seen.it.yet,I'm.taking.it.to.the.wedding.tomorrow.so.I'll.lket.you.know.how.I.got.on.on.Sunday

I've.started.only.accepting.orders.where.I.have.the.majority.artistic.input.
Generally.customers.suggest.a.colour.or.theme.or.even.a.few.words.and.let.me.get.on.with.it
I.prefer.not.to.even.sketch.it.out.as.they.think.they're.getting.one.thing.and.then.my.mind.wants.it.to.go.elsewhere!...If.I.do.try.and.stick.to.something.I.often.find.my.enthusiasm.waning.and.my.inspiration.going.

For.example.in.this.cake.the.bride.wanted.it.pink.and.I.was.totally.stumped.with.it.until.I.sprayed.it.all.gold.and.gave.up.on.the.pink!

Fabulous cake - thank you so much for sharing the process. And please do start a blog or a book or a video

that is awesome!! thank you for sharing how you did this fabulous cake!!

That's really cool that you showed us step by step how you do your cakes...and yes, the gold looks better than the pink You can still see the pink through it though and that's cool in itself, adds depth :|
