Back To School Night

A WASC with Buttercream Dream and MMF & Black Satin Ice Fondant for Back to School night this evening. Of course I have a cold and am not thinking clearly. I know I'm not thinking clearly because when I baked this last night I forgot to add in my coffee creamer in place of the water (I have a freezer full of Raspberry White Chocolate creamer!!), and today I forgot to torte it and add my lemon curd!!!! I knew when I finished it had gone too easily and quickly! I've become a dingbat!!!

I love the pieces of chalk and the eraser! The board looks so real too!

You did an awesome job! I wish I could do just an inkling as good as you while you're in "dingbat" mode. You can't tell you were feeling ill while doing this cake. It's difficult to tell in the photo, but is the eraser 3-D and how did you get it to have that fuzzy look?

Oh, I smudged out the town on the photo in the upper right corner. Didn't really want that on the photo, though it did remain on the cake. The other smudges and white "dust" were intentional and are on the cake to represent chalk dust. :)

I love it. I had wanted to do one like that at the end of the year, but I didn't. Maybe this year, it looks so fun!

I love it, but I am newer and cant figure out how you did the writing to look so chalk-like??

Thank you both! Sweetideas, I was concerned about that too and was going to try airbrushing the writing, but didn't have white a.b. food coloring. I do however have white foodcoloring for non-airbrush use, so I just painted onto the black fondant using that thinned with a little everclear. Worked like a charm!! :wink:

Everything looks so real! Especially your eraser! WOW 8O

Thanks so much for the kind words! :oops: The eraser turned out the way I had hoped. I used the black Satin Ice and my white MMF mixed together to get a heathery gray and then shaped it into a rectanle. I then made the four slices about half way down with my pizza cutter and patted it with my corn starch duster. I have to admit that's how I pictured it and it actually came out looking like what I had hoped.
