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, you guys are so supportive! But I am not jealous one bit at this woman's magnificent talent! I love it! It gives me pointers on what I should and should not do. That's how we learn, right?

Yeh Gail - what are you comparing to?  'Course Linda's is the best lol.

June, I have never tried the corn starch instead of flour. I did have a friend who used it and hers always turned out great. She has passed on to be with the Lord, now. Did Gail show you the cake she was referring to? If not, I'll send you a pic.
