True - seems like each cake I do I always learn something for the next time around!!  That's the fun in doing this :)

The top may have made you panic, but it turned out beautifully.  Next time you can tackle it with confidence!

Thank you Sandra!!!  I don't think the customer noticed either  :)   Aren't we all our worst critics??  I was panicking when I was doing the top!!

Becky, you are just too picky!  I didn't even notice the girl being taller than the door, just how cute she is.  You did a great job!  Love it :o)

Hi Pamela - I actually carved it.  I had never done a cake like this before and found a tutorial on line (I googled house cake) to figure out how to do the roof.  I really struggled with the roof on this house.  I was not happy at all with the area where the roof edge meets the house part.  Plus, my lady was bigger than the front door (HAHAHA).  I even cut off some of her legs to make her shorter and she was still Amazon Woman!!!  The customer was happy with it and I learned a lot from doing this cake so I guess that was a good thing!  I'm sure it will take another time or two to get it down!

I love this idea, you put a lot of work into this cake. It shows in the details.  I can think of several other events this basic house could be used for such as a realtor who sells their first home, housewarming cake, it could be a cabin in the woods which could be all sorts of occasions, a beach house, and I'm sure there are others. All a person has to do is personalize each cake for the individual event. I am curious about one thing, did you carve the house or is this the Wilton cake pan which is a stand-up house?

Thank you Katy - I am definitely my own worst critic.
