TOPSY TURVY CAKE ATTEMPT #1




SO, I'VE REALLY BEEN WANTING TO TRY ONE OF THOSE UNEVEN "TOPSY-TURVY" CAKES, SO I LOOKED UP HOW TO DO IT. THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT, JUST A SMALL ONE. THE FONDANT WAS REALLY HARD TO GET ON THE TOP LAYER W/OUT IT TEARING, AND IT DID TEAR QUITE A BIT, BUT I DIDN'T REDO IT, JUST FOR US AT HOME TONIGHT-NEW YEARS EVE. THAT'S WHY WE DID THE STAR THEME. FORTUNATELY THE STARS HID MOST OF THE ROUGH PARTS THAT DIDN'T TURN OUT GOOD, IT LOOKED PRETTY BAD BEFORE THAT. I LIKE IT FOR THE MOST PART THOUGH. KENZIE WANTED SOMETHING FOR THE TOP. I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT KIND OF WIRE, BUT WE MADE SOMETHING ANYWAY, AND IT LOOKED OK, JUST FOR US AT HOME. I'VE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH MAKE MY OWN FONDANT W/ SOME SUCCESS. IT TASTES BETTER ANYWAY AND IT'S DEFINITELY CHEAPER. I'M GOING TO PRACTICE SOME MORE-WE HAVE SOME FAMILY BIRTHDAYS THIS MONTH.

DOGGIE CAKE




I MADE THIS CUTE LITTLE CAKE FOR MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S 29TH BIRTHDAY-SHE A DOG LOVER. SHE HAS TWO AMERICAN BULLDOGS-TANK AND ROXIE.
THE CAKES ARE ACTUALLY BROWNIES ICED W/ BUTTERCREAM, GRAHAM CRUMBS, AND MARSHMALLOW FONDANT I MADE MYSELF(TASTES MUCH BETTER THAN WILTON FONDANT-YUCK). IT'S PRETTY MUCH A SMORES THEME CAKE.

I THINK IT'S PRETTY CUTE.
