I've been wanting to make one for a long time... I was scared to try it, it is such an intimidating
technique I was afraid to try it for fear of all my hard work not working.
I showed a picture of one to my friends who asked me to make her a cake and she loved it. (Secretly I was hoping she wouldn't want one like that). So I researched and read and watched tutorials online a million times and finally did it!
The top tier after I carved and dirty Iced it...
Bottom tier after Carved and Iced... a much harder tier to do I had to carve a flat spot so the
top tier would sit right on it.
Top tier after I decorated it. I made Chocolate Fondant! It SMELLS So Yummy!
Fully assembled, the bottom tier was a pain to cover, the fondant the first time wasn't right and when I went to take off the fondant part of the upper part tryed to come off and was never right after I recovered it. But it turned out good.
After all the finishing touches (except the tag) A good experience over all! Thanks Audra for having me face my fear and learn a new technique!
