My sister's company is having a catering fair and wants a dummy cake in the shape of their building to be a big centerpeice

anyone got any ideas as to how to make this front part???

carve styrofoam and cover in fondant! You can also use the hidden pillars covered in fondant for the support columns.

it's a dummy cake?

They sell wreath styrofoam circles at Micheals. The center of the round front can be a regular 6 inch or smaller round, the outside ring could be the wreath circle- and use strips of styro sheet for the supports. You could fondant each one seperately and let it dry then glue it together with Elmers glue.

wow, sounds like fun not




but it does sound like a challenge--have fun

Wow, just wanted to say, good luck!!

hmmm...

looks familiar....

oh, yeah, I know why .....

up for a challenge?

I bet Doug would have a good idea! Where are you Doug?
Edited to say: Sorry Doug, we must have been typing at the same time )

Btw, Duff is not perfect...on an episode last week, he said to the camera "None of us here has ever worked in a cake shop. There are a lot of things we just don't know how to do." And then he called Colette Peters to ask for help with fondant pleats.

...and it's always Geoff who does the architectural cakes anyway.

I knew that picture looked familiar. What ever happened to mqguffey's cake? What that for a different event?

sorry double double post

I don't think I would even attempt it, unless I was getting paid big bucks for it. Looks like a big company, they could afford it. Wouldn't be worth sleepless nights for me. Good luck to you.

apologies...double post...the site is very slow for me and then this happened...sorry

I don't know what event its for
My sister is the catering manager and talked to me about it tonight
It IS the same building, so maybe they are just looking for someone who can do it and are asking different people
who knows
i'll talk to her again tomorrow

No shes not my sister but mqguffey's location is Alamaba and thats where my siter lives
she said they were thinking $500 for this cake
its just going to be a centerpiece and not be eaten

I wouldn't do it for any less that $500. You time is worth at least that much. Norman Davis says, "Remember, you may not be able to do what they do, but they sure can't do what you do. You are a Sugar Artist".
