Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

This cake was a red velvet cake using the smallest spring form pans by Wilton, and then carved some to form it’s shape. Every two layers I placed a divider so that I could place cut skewers in between as supports, then ran a full skewer all the way through all layers and cardboard circles to keep it stable. I made the lid and handle out of gum paste and then painted it with silver sheen food coloring. The plate, pickle, pretzels, brat, and German bread were all made from gum paste and then chalked with petal dust the colors. The mustard was royal icing, along with the tree and trunk on the stein. The bottom cake was covered in fondant to look like a checkered table cloth. The foam on the cake was quite by accident. I had used a cooked flour icing and it kept sliding down the sides. Everyone thought I had done it on purpose. It ended up just adding to the whole composition!

Awwww, thank you Diane. Did you read through all of this thread? If not, take a look at this gals cake. It is absolutely awe inspiring! It came through on another site last week and she did such an amazing job, plus she gave some pointers too on how she made hers! http://cupadeecakes.blogspot.com/2011/12/world-of-warcraft-stein-ca...

by the way, I love it when those mistakes actually turn out to be huge blessings in disguise.

Hehehe Cakes like this just make me smile :) Great job, Linda!

And I LOVE "accidents" that WORK, like your foam, don't you? It reminds me of one of my favorite books I had when I was homeschooling my kids called Mistakes That Worked by Charlotte Foltz Jones. 

Btw, I have those exact wine glasses in the pic! (just a little side note... ahem...)

It sure is how we learn Linda.  I've learnt so much from this site, just by looking at what you guys do and reading discussions, watching videos etc.  i still have a very long way to go, but you all give me something to aspire to.
