Yes it is 3am in New Zealand and I have just finished the first of two cakes I have to do today. I am sooooo tired and the mess I now need to go and clean up is unbearable!
This cake is my Aine2 Style. I think she is a legend!
Lots of firsts for me. First time I have put filling in a cake! The fondant tore so I had to put another layer on. I am so tired that when I went to take a picture I noticed I had glued her name on wrong it read JUILE, thank goodness I noticed. I had actually made a side table and bits and pieces but the cake board I had was too small.
Well I am off to clean up then get a couple of hours sleep before its time to get up. For you guys who do this professionally I am in awe.... I'm a wreck!
Have a great day.
That is awesome! I can only imagine how tired you are, it wore me out just reading about it! Take a nice long nap, refresh yourself, eat a little something, and start again. You will do great!
Wow!! I wish I could do that well at 3am!! What a delightful cake! Congrats, and enjoy the moment, because it's beautiful!
Bless you. Go get some good sleep. I usually don't make it past midnight when making a cake, but then again my kids are up at the crack of dawn. Good luck on your next cake.
sooooo cute!!! so worth the sleep you missed out on!! could you post it in your picture section so I can save it to favorits? thank you!
She is just beautiful. Hope you are able to get some rest but please know she is very sweet. You did a nice job.
So adorable! Good thing you noticed the name! I don't know how you noticed that at 3am though!
You did a terrific job on that cake! I love the figure.
I stayed up all night last Friday working on a cake. I seriously don't know how the pros do it--I'm so slow! I'm glad I only do a cake once in a while.
I'm embarassed to say the kitchen still isn't completely clean
Just know you're not the only one!
I love it...its soooooo adorable. Hey I know you were up at 3am...but it was well worth it!!!
I know your resting right now. However later when you are up and read this, know that I think you did a fantastic job!
The tribute to aine2 is sweet as you can see her influence. Everything looks so perfect that it seems well worth staying up till 3am creating.
In MHO you are a Pro!

Fantastic work Katharry. I'll print this off and hang it in my studio to remind myself there is a point to what I do! You deserve to be proud of this work, it is wonderful. I look forward to seeing what you do next. I hope you didn't throw away the other pieces you made as you can use them again.
Thankyou for the tribute by the way!
Aine2
this is to both of you... aine2 included.
I am glad to be a member of such a talented and humble community.
The cake is awesome, the influence amazing!
Hgus
to both of you...hehehe ( couldn't resist taht one...lol)
Wow, I think you did wonderful, if I didn't see your name I would have thought Aine2 created it.....by the way your tribute to aine2 was really nice of you as we can see how she influenced you. Keep up the great work!
That cake is really nice! And to think you were up at 3am?? WOW! Even the look on her face is precious! I love it- you are awesome!
Your cake is really adorable. I have not worked with fondant or made any figures yet. I'm still a little nervous, yet excited about trying all that. I'm usually up at all hours of the night when I decorate too.
My goodness this place is amazing! You guys are so supportive!!!
I cant stress enough what an absolute fabulous teacher Aine2 is! When I first started figure work I couldnt even roll a ball (true!) I have bought just about every book on the subject but Aine2 has a very unique ability of making it all click. My only wish now is that she publishes something! I hope by now everyone has seen her slideshow on how to make a face???? How Generous is that for her to share her talent & time with us all!?
I ended up getting to sleep 2 hours ago and I am up now and about to attempt the next cake (football jersey with a gazillion stars!).
Might allow myself to have a nap this afternoon! Thank you again for all the lovely comments, this place totally rocks!!

Great job! I try not to cover cakes at night time as I always seem to have imperfections in the morning. Could be I am not seeing clearly. The pearls are perfect. You mastered it! A very professional cake.
