I was watching Ace of Cakes a few days ago, and I saw them deliver this cake:
Duff's amazing Christmas tree cake (U.S. Air Force photo/ Airman 1st Class Melissa Rodrigues) |
I have two weeks to descend to that state, and the prep work starts tonight. Gum paste ribbons and ornaments, spice cake, cream cheese butter cream, a knife and a whole lotta green fondant. It may not defy gravity or stand the height of a small child, but I think it's something you'll want to see...if not to admire, then at least to make snide remarks!
Oh, speaking of snide remarks...here's my sketch.
When it's cake...it'll look so much better:). |
Yes, for those art lovers out there, that's a crayon on notebook paper original! My medium is sugar, not crayon.
I have confidence in you! When do you plan to premiere this cakely Tannenbaum?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bethany! I can't seem to get the date nailed down, but it'll be very close to Christmas. I'm going to buy supplies today I think and start in on the structural stuff.
