Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

FINALLY! I have been agonizing over this cake for months not wanting to screw it up since it's for my Goddaughter's wedding. Unfortunately, it was supposed to have big peach poppies instead of the big white roses but I think the roses work. (I just hope she is not disappointed). I started on the bottom tier on Thursday at 7:00am and had very few breaks and didn't finish it until 12:45 am Friday. The other two tiers went much faster, but it did take 2 and a 1/2 days to do the frills. Now for the worst part...the delivery. Dread!

Gail, it is not hard to do...just time consuming. Thank you. Coming from you that is a real complement. I always think of you as the Johnny Depp of cake decorators. lol Very talented, off beat and quirky. That's a good thing, believe me.

Absolutely lovely.  I am positive your Godaughter was thrilled.  Like I had said about my frill cake, fairly easy, but very, very time consuming.  And as far as doing it the "professional" way????  Hey, if you achieve the results you want, and it looks great AND the receiver likes it......Who cares!!!  It is a means to an end.  If you can find a short cut, an easier way to "invent the wheel".....great, count me in.  How would "The Mat", or "Fondant Fabric" have come into exsistence if someone hadn't thought there was a easier way to roll fondant??!!!!!

Tracy, I'll bet the 'pros' out there just shudder at how we self taught decorators just bungle along doing our own thing in our own method with no real knowledge of how it is supposed to be done...according to the pros. My take on that, is that someone somewhere along the line had to 'invent' different methods by doing their own thing in order for it to become standard practice. I'm too old now to care if I am doing it 'right' or not. I'm going to be 62 and figure that if I'm going to learn any of this stuff, do it now before I'm way too old to do it at all-right or wrong. lol
