Thanks, Alma!  I used chocolate fondant to make his body feathers and it smelled (and tasted) so darned good I just kept stealing a bite.

Are you kidding me you are so talented. I am so amazed!

You don't have to, Betty!  You can decorate cakes for real!  All I can do is sculpt trinkets to fool people into thinking I can decorate.  I would give my eye teeth (crowns and all!) to be able to pipe like you do.

I apologize for adding the painting where cakes should be (and I will delete them when we get through with our discussion!), but check out the number of hairs on these critters and you get an idea of why I have developed patience :o)

And I dream about doing cross word puzzles, Up-Words, or  Scrabble... lol

I guess one month doesn't bother me a lot because I have done paintings which took several months.  I am used to nit-pickie details.

Bonnie, you should see what goes on in my head when I try to sleep at night.  I dream about ways to construct cakes and toppers!  I admit, they are far superior to the dreams I had about crunching numbers when I was working!

This is another cake I keep coming back to. Just fantastic details. Never in a million years could I do one that looks so real!!!

And she said 'It ONLY took a month!  Sandra, dear, you must have the patience of Job!

Comment by Bonnie Willey on August 3, 2014 at 2:00pm

Let's see...., one month, that's30 days.

And that is 720 hours.

And I get impatient after 1.2 hours...?!!

How about the rest of you?  Now tell the truth. {:o)
