<p>lol jan, whatever, it really isn't important. We all share and use each others ideas. This cake is great. And yes, Linda Wolff does rock, as do so many other lovely people on this site.</p>

<p>Hey Rima nad Katy, apologies for not sending kudos in the right direction. I posted a correction via my iPhone, but it ended up on the wrong page. Sorry for any confusion. The pic in the buttercream idea came from <a class="fn url" href="http://www.cakeswebake.com/forum/topic/listForContributor?user=22erve60mt8bi" rel="nofollow">Gayl Colding</a>. My continued encouragement comes from <a href="http://www.cakeswebake.com/profile/LindaWolff?xg_source=profiles_friendList" rel="nofollow">Linda…</a></p>
<p>Hey Rima nad Katy, apologies for not sending kudos in the right direction. I posted a correction via my iPhone, but it ended up on the wrong page. Sorry for any confusion. The pic in the buttercream idea came from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cakeswebake.com/forum/topic/listForContributor?user=22erve60mt8bi" class="fn url">Gayl Colding</a>. My continued encouragement comes from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cakeswebake.com/profile/LindaWolff?xg_source=profiles_friendList">Linda Wolff</a>, they both rock! The floorboard and bandanas are fondant. Most of the flowers are gum paste. What isn't shown are the five blue ribbon "pies" that sat in front of the bale. They were baked in vintage tins and iced to look like lattice work on fruit pies and a couple merinngues This cake served 232. The original idea was to a hay bale angled on top of another with bunch of "field flowers" on top, to look as if they were just laid on the bale. The wrench into the works came when the bride presented me with a country girl and boy cake topper. Knowing that sticking a topper on a hay bale would just be ridiculous, I decided to do a small wedding cake that was "roughed up and vintagy looking" (a quote from the bride). The cake had barbed wire, horseshoes, tiny acorns and some lady bugs hidden here and there in addition to the flowers, leaves and curly willow. </p>

<div class="xg_user_generated"><p>I did a hay bale wedding cake and from the ingenious suggestion from Rima, to use a hair pic and run it back and forth in the butter cream. I filled my bag with several different shades of "straw", and then ran the pic through it. I did one side at a time so it would not start crusting before I could pic it. It worked like a dream. I also got super skinny blue and yellow (wedding colors) licorice and twisted them to use as the hay bale ties. </p>

<p>Vicky - go to your page, click on cake photos, then you will see a tab +Add at the top (on the right). This will bring up a box where you can upload from your computer. It can be quite slow to upload, depending on gig size of your pic. You can then add a title, description, tags etc. Well done on the success, looking forward to seeing it.</p>
