My birthday cake- I finished it! :)

[melozburngr]

FINALLY, I've discovered that I absolutely HATE fondant.. its very difficult to work with. (but it looks neat

)

My party is an Alice in Wonderland theme, so i focused on hearts.. its a queen of hearts cake..

(and the long red things sticking out from the top are sparkling candles.. badass.

Yes, it is tilted on purpose, I wanted to bring in parts from the madness of the tea party, too

Let me know what y'all think

 

[slvrlips]

I like it very cute

W!!!! That's great!!!! Are you experienced w/ cake making/decorating..or was this your 'first'? If it IS your first cake (and I don't mean Betty Crocker either...LOL) you are VERY, VERY TALENTED!!!! I wanna know how much experience you have!! My husband is a Sous Chef, and he tells me about cake making/baking. It's not easy to do something like that...very time consuming, and you need lotsa' patience!!! I cannot cook/bake to save my life. That's why I married a chef...LOL...


NICE WORK

ETA: BTW, I just wanna say that I think the 'theme' is awesome!!! I really think that was quite creative..and when I first saw it was crooked, I didn't even have to read your explanation..the first thing that entered my mind was "Wow, she made it like that to go w/ the crazy mad-hatter theme".

I love the shape of it. Yours took a lot of skill, but I thinking about grabbing one of those cake pans that are all cool and tilted-like. I just love the look of it.

 

[Shavwi]

Actually I've been doing the cake decorating thing for a while now, but this is only my second tiered cake, the first being my sister's wedding cake, which was beyond hard. (4 tiers, over 100#)

This IS the first time ever using fondant though- which is wayyyyy too much work... lol, but for the most part I think the fondant part of it turned out cool.

I love baking- at one point I want to own my own bakery (specializing in high end baked goods- pastries, cakes, etc)

thanks for the compliments!!

this is the wedding cake that I did for my sister...

 

[melozburngr]

thanks everyone!

makes me feel better that its not just me that likes it because I spent so much time on it.

 

[Dawn]

[melozburngr]

[mrskloo]

Both cakes look amazing!

Did you make the fondant yourself? I've been looking for a good recipe for it (and I hate working with fondant too).

 

[browneyedbaby]

Wow that's fantastic!

 

[inlucesco]

That is FANTASTIC. I want an Alice-themed party too!
