Happy Birthday poohsmomma!!
I am decorating a Wall-E cake for my sons 7th birthday tomorrow and it seems like nothing is going right!!! I am on my second batch of MMF and it is still not 100%. I don't have energy to make a third as this cake has to be done tonight. Both kids have hockey in the morning and then we are off to the party so I will not have any time in the morning... oh well, the night is still young!!!!kinda..... 
You're on the right track. Dowels in the bottom tier, top tier on a cardboard. Set the cardboard and cake down on top of the dowels and you'll probably want to add a border.
I do put some coarse sugar under the board, others use cake crumbs, some use white choc shavings. Just don't use coconut as many peope seem to be allergic to it or really don't like it.
Or, just wait for the icing to crust and then set the top tier on.
I just delivered the first cake I've ever needed to set up on site. It was a Titleist golf bag, I did the bag and then planned to pipe grass on and stick the clubs in when I got there.
Well.
The bride who ordered it (surprise groom's cake at the rehearsal dinner) didn't bother to tell me that when I walked into the venue, that WAS the party. No kitchen or even an empty hallway to set up in. So the whole family watched me unbox the cake, and then got all excited and started taking pictures. And then I pulled a piping bag out of my purse (love the looks I get from that, lol) and stuck the clubs in. I had to get on my knees to do the grass and really, it was just bizarre having 30+ people crowding around a cake watching me pipe. I kinda ran out. lol.
I've got a two-tiered petal shaped cake with tinkerbell topper, a maggie simpson cupcake cake with an extra dozen cupcakes and a smoosh cake (1st bday), and two baby shower cakes for Saturday. Sunday, I have a bananas foster cheesecake and a flower pot cake for which I'm working on the parrot tulips right now. And, I work in an office fulltime - so it's gonna be a loooooooong night!
Hello everyone,
I'm in the eye of the hurricane right now...finished a birthday cake and client picked it up an hour ago, happy client just called to say the birthday girl loved the cake so that's good news. Now I have a Bon Voyage 3D cake for tomorrow. Cakes in the freezer for that one. Wish me luck...it's a mini mixing bowl and a loaf of bread on a tea towel with a wooden spoon..the honored lady is a bread baker. The spoon is made, not worried about the tea towel but making the mixing bowl really look like a mixing bowl is kinda freaking me out. I have to go make the "handle" in a few minutes so it will dry enough to attach tomorrow late afternoon. Lots of handpainting silver, no airbrush here, and of all the colors I hate to paint silver. I'll post when I can tomorrow!
Have a good night!

No cake for me. I'm holding out for chocolate pie with lots of meringue.
Hey people. I haven't been here in a while. Happy Bday Poohsmomma.
I could use some here. Does anyone know how to speed up the drying for a plaque made with RI? I know I should have done it earlier in the week but life got in the way. I need it dry by 1pm.
Hi All!!!!
I am working on a 4 tier (14/12/8/6) for a birthday party for 2 13 year olds thats due tomorrow evening. I'm having to work on it during the day because I actually have to work at my "real job" at night.
It's late! I'm finishing up a Superman cake for a friend's son who's turning 2. 1st time I've painted on fondant and also 1st time making "sugar glass"...pretty happy with how it all turned out. Can't wait to deliver it tomorrow and see his face light up.
Hey everyone!! How are the projects coming??
I have a quick question ... i am doing some vintage style cupcakes, and i have some gold flowers and blue butter flies done already , and i am wondering should i do the butter cream ivory or just keep it white??
I need an opinion?? Thanks 
I vote for ivory (my wedding colors were blue, gold & ivory 
)
Those cupcakes are gorgeous!
I've got a two tier baby shower cake for tomorrow night. They dont know the sex and gave me a sample of the invite to reference. pink and blue with giraffes. I made two little giraffes out fo gumpaste earlier in the week and tonight I baked and made some MMF. I'm making the bottom tier a checkerboard cake, in pink and blue. I found the pan set at Ross last week for $6 and couldn't pass it up!
Wow those cupcakes are beautiful!
2 am. Doing a Cranium board game cake for tomorrow. Just finished making ALL the game pieces and all the characters on the board. And almost done a two tier baby shower cake. Made a little fondant baby on a blankie earlier this week. So tired. Not really happy with how the baby shower cake turned out.... Maybe it will look different after 4 hours sleep
Have a wonderful night everyone!
FANATASTIC cupcakes, so elegant, mine never really have that professioanl look 
I had no cakes tonight, had 12 cupcakes, and 4 cakes for this week but they are all done and instead I went on a mad cleaning frenzy and washed every cutter and piece of equipment and colour bottles, and rearranged all my cupboards, etc and made things a lot easier for myself, its so easy to just shove stuff on top of each other but im determined to keep everything tidy.....wonder if my husband will notice that i just took over another drawer in the kitchen (lol) 
also just bought a load of piping bags and nozzles and a blossom sugar art cupcake cookie cutter which im dying to try!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell I didn't make it very long last night friends? I did manage to crumb coat and get a good thick coat on each layer -- but then it was lights out! So now I need to get off here and get to smoothing!!
The wedding was wonderful - thanks so much for asking! An unexpected storm blew threw right before the wedding service began and when everyone left the Church there was a double rainbow! How cool! Some said that meant really good luck and others said it means twins!! The reception was at my sister's home - outdoors - so my helpers there had to rush and bring in tablecloths, arrangements, etc before the storm hit - but they did it - and it was all put back together before the guests arrived.
I am starting a new club if anyone wants to join -- I call it the "Thank Goodness I Only Have One Daughter Club!".

Gorgeous indeed! I love how you got your butterflies and flowers to have that beautiful, shiny, spun sugar look. How'd you do that???
