I wanted to make sure that you got my reply, I tend to be a little computer retarded so I think I might have replied incorrectly. The big mask was free handed with a scalpel, I love cutting gumpaste with them....they cut super clean lines. The small masks were a metal cutter that I found at a local shop. Everything was handpainted wtih undiluted airbrush paints. It was super fun to make! I have another one for this weekend for my nephew so I am gonna try my hand at marbling fondant to look like camo. Pics to follow!
Hi! I finished my Mardi Gras cake last night so I wanted you to see the final mask that you gave me advice about! I got off work late last night and had to be back early this am so I felt like I was rushed in putting it all together. Lots of lessons learned but now I am stressed about it making it to the party in one piece....not to mention my husband is taking it so I told him to leave about 5 hours before the party starts, drive 20mph, and take back roads only. ;) (The party is only about 30 minutes away.) Thanks again for your help! Julie
You can also check more of my cake in facebook REBES CAKE... I love decorating cake, am from Costa Rica and I teacher cake decorarting in a big institute here.
One of the things that I do with my cake is by very carefull with the details, color, and also favors.
..I'm new to this contest thing..first time ever entering one lol. Ok, so I want back and removed/re-titled the "gumpaste flower contest" titles on those that had only flowers (no cake) ..But I'm not seeing any of mine that do apply to the contest, in the scroll at the top of the page with the others. Yikes! have I really messed mine up now? lol...Sorry newbie here..lol. maybe I should just go bake a cake..it seems to be the answer to ALL problems lol.
Thanks..I have open and too many of my gumpaste flowers while changing the title..hopefully you have not change the wedding cake as well as other cakes pictured that do include gumpaste flowers as they would be acceptable for the contest.
I actually have been doing cakes for only a year myself, and have only made 34 decorated cakes. Yes, my skills are more developed, because I am also a graphic designer, and decorating comes naturally to me. But since I've made 4 more cakes than the rules allow, yes...I do understand.
Hi Eileen, Thank you for the compliment on my Halloween cake! You asked how I got the texture, and the answer is a napkin! My husband calls it my trademark...I put it on all my cakes because I love the way it looks! Once I've frosted the cake, I let it sit 5-10 minutes, then press a napkin with the texture on it and rub it gently. It really doesn't take much time, and helps to make the cake look smoother! If you want it really smooth, use a VIVA paper towel - it works the best! Good Luck! PS - Your cakes are BEAUTIFUL!!
Ok, we can talk next week either Monday or Tuesday. I'm going to Cozumel on Wednesday, yipee! I'm taking my laptop with me, so I will be checking in on the site.
