Ok, more timing issues. This was to be a three layer cake. But I simply ran out of time. The layers were for wow-factor not for servings, so no worries there. The cap is candy-melts. Cake is iced with whipped icing. Roses are lacking...another area where practice is badly needed. Overall the customer was more that thrilled, so mission accomplished!
This was a fun cake to do. I'm still learning timing on everything and got caught working right up to the minute when delivery was due. Gulp. Whipped icing with royal icing flowers. Cookie bouquet. Choc/White cake.
This cake was just for practice. I've only ever done Cornelli lace on a practice board. It was much more challenging on a cake. My ruffle was the first time on a cake too. Yes...I will keep practicing. :)
I was worried about using the brushed embroidery technique on whipped icing, but with a very soft touch, it worked. I decorated with medium consistency buttercream icing with piping gel. In some cases, I picked up the icing but it actually added to the effect. You can see my x's in preparation for a tiered cake, but I didn't assemlble for the pic because I have to transport it.
Fun to make and the kids loved it. Wish I would have used lighter colored whiskers...oh well.
This is my first posting to Cake Central. I am a brand new decorator and this is my first cake of this magnitude. All for my daughter's Sweet 16!
