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!

Love this one.
Thank you Jasmine! =O)
Excellent job! I've been wanting to do a stein for a long time. Now when I do it, I'm going to have to add the wurst & pretzels. I'll have to do potato salad instead of the pickle though. Sooooo cute!!
lol! That is so funny, Sandra! If he only knew that in my opinion, YOU are the expert, and YOUR cakes are far better than mine. Kids! Ya never know what they will say!
Thank you Katy! That means a lot if I actually fooled you! lol
Linda - this is outstanding! I really thought that the stein was the cake and the pickles etc were for real - that gherkin is awesome. You're so clever.
Thank you Nadia =O)
