3. Grand Champion!

Alright!!!!

Our fair isn't until the beginning of October but I enter stuff every year. So far, 8 entries, 8 ribbons but NEVER a Grand Champion! Congratulations, that is a BEAUTIFUL cake!

[Scuba]

4. Sweet!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

[cbayer]

5. I am so impressed! Big congratulations to you.

[Callalily]

6. Beautiful and impeccably

executed, fabulous colors. Hmmmm . . . but I wouldn't mind a taste!

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Not really. Can't you see those 'globs' on the side? It's really hard to stencil with icing and

get the stencil removed and re-aligned.

[pinto]

8. Beauty. Congrats!

[HappyMe]

9. It's a beauty!

give you another ribbon. It's beautiful, poetic, artistic and I WANT SOME! Congratulations!

[glinda]

11. Sweeet! Which Fair was it? What is the filling?

[NJCher]

12. stenciling

I was going to ask how you got that pattern on the sides--so I assume a pattern and you sifted confectioners sugar over it?

I can't imagine how you did that sideways.

Is the rose on top edible?

It's really stunning, sinking feeling. You did an amazing job.

21. beauty!

now you can tell people, 'if you believe Romney/Ryan are going to win, I'll eat my hat!'

because after all, you're gonna have to eat your hat on that one because they have no chance

Great job on the cake and sweet idea

[OnyxCollie]

22. "Celebrate with cake."

So went a jingle advocating childhood obesity in one of the Grand Theft Auto games.

Mmm, cake. I want the piece with the flower on it.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. Looks like the box the cake came in.

Did anyone try to take off the lid?

[66 dmhlt]

24. Gorgeous! But more details pleaseee!

I've always wanted to try my hand at fondant, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

How long did it take to put it together?
What kind of cake is it?
Is the fondant flavored?
Are the phantasmagorical white decorations edible - and do you do them yourself?
Did you eat the cake?

[Swagman]
