Leaning Tower Of Cake

This one was a challenge from start to finish, nothing went my way including dropping the bottom tier. I learned two big lessons no matter how frustrated and late it is (1) ALWAYS level your cake and (2) make sure your dowels are the correct length. Considering the day I had making it I was happy with the end result except for the leaning part and the bride was happy so that is what really mattered most to me.

Basketball First B-Day

This was for a first birthday during March Madness. 10" Sq. and sports ball pan. Board was covered with a piece of scrapbook paper covered with contact paper. I used buttercream with MMF for the accents. I painted the design using gel icing colors thinned with lemon juice. Texture on basketball was achieved by tapping a dish scrubber on it. I should have used more dowels under the basketball as it was too heavy and made my MMF hardwood floor separate too much. This idea came from the Mailbox News.

This cake was iced in Mouselline Buttercream (from "The Cake Bible") flavored with Kahlua. I didn't care for the ivory frosting against the stark white pillars though, but I didn't think about that until I was setting the cake up. The sizes were 14", 10" and 6". The flowers were supposed to be all red roses, but the florist threw in a surprise, but I liked the end result.

Danish Wedding Cake

This is a picture of the kransekage or Danish Wedding cake. They are popular where I live in Denmark, Kansas as everyone has Danish heritage. It is made from marzipan, egg whites, and sugar. It is made in a special ring mold and then assembled with royal icing. The stars on top are actually Swedish rosettes. That is not a traditional topper, but it was very pretty. Every guest at the wedding is supposed to eat a piece. More than one cake is baked and broken up ahead of time to serve this purpose. I cant take credit for this cake, my mother-in-law actually did it. I decorated the main wedding cake and was really happy for her help!
