Lily Cake

Lily Cake on Cake Central

I was trying to be accommodating and agreed to have the cake ready the day before the date originally agreed. That was a big mistake! I would have been able to fix the bulges, etc and probably wouldn't haven't even had them if I had not tried to rush. Next time I will stick to the first date. This is a copy of a Lindy Smith cake from Cakes to Inspire and Desire. I was not thrilled with her instructions and the lack of size data.

Hmmm, let me guess, you had to put boards between the cakes and then roll the whole thing in fondant?! I did one of her cakes in this fashion and it's really hard to get it perfect, so you did a great job ;-D

I was hysterical by the time I got to the part about turn cake on its side, roll it in fondant. Not as easy as it sounds and I was having trouble freezing the last layer. This cake was a problem from the start. I finally decied when I did the ecru to line bottom of the fondant to the bottom of the vinyl and apply vertically. That is what I should have done with the white. Turning this cake over on its side is a crock. Also I split the ecru into 2.

I have just bought this book & I'm not over impressed with it. This is one of the few I really liked & you did a great job.

I've been wanting to do this cake from Lindy Smith's book. I thank you for your hints! I think it looks great and your callas are fantastic!
