This 8" round cake was made by cutting off a piece of the bottom of the cake about 1 1/2 inches. It was then covered in Pink Rolled Fondant on the front and sides as well as the back. The board was also covered in matching fondant. The butterful was cut out with a gumpaste cutter. The Lace pieces were made with a number 1 tube and royal icing. When they were dry they were placed on the number 3 bead boarder around the top back of the cake. The Gumpaste roses were all made without cutters and wired together, then placed on the top of the cake. One single Rose lays along side of the top portion of the cake that was cut. This portion that was cut also is covered in fondant.
This two teir Christmas cake was made from a 12" round and a 8" round cake. The 12" cake has a ice cream cone Chirstmas tree with a fireplace and Santa sitting in a rocking chair. Santa and the dog were piped from Royal Icing as was the tree. The presents are sugar cubes decorated as gifts. The fireplace was cut out of Rolled Fondant and dried then put together. The carpet on the hardwood floor was piped in buttercream icing. The upstairs 8" cake has a child asleep in bed waiting for Santa. The cat was piped from Royal Icing, the carpet butter cream and the bed is a piece of cake covered in a fondant blanket. The garlands on the side of the cake were done with a tube 67 leaf tip and the candy canes are real.
