  Any help is greatly appreciated!  This looks like a lot of labor to cover a 12" round.  Someone asked me to make it for their wedding and I'm just wondering how many hours that might take just for the bottom!

So I'm on my regular computer now. Here is a picture of the cake I did. My intention was to make the flowers go all around but once I realized how my ribbon each one took and how long it took me to make each one, I changed my mind! It...

I made the flowers on the counter flat and then when they were semi-dry I attached them to the cake. Semi-dry was to ensure I could curve the flower to lay on the side of the cake correctly. I did start out folding down the side of the...

I did a similar ribbon cake and I had to ask that same question! I ended up using 50/50 gumpaste and fondant. I first cut out large circles to use as a base for each fIower. Then I rolled my 50/50 really thin and cut into strips. I...

Hate to break it to you but to feed 150 that cake size will not work. You will need to go bigger unless you do a sheet cake in the back or cupcakes to go with a smaller display cake. I wouldn't use a 12 in. tier on a 12 in. stand...

I found this cake on Pinterest and love it! The link was just to the picture so I couldn't ask how to create it. I know there will be people on here who can help! How do I make the bottom tier? Is it just of strips fondant rolled...

I'd also say take a look at cakes posted on this site and compare yours to the ones you see. You'll see all kinds of different ability level cakes on here. People would say how good my cakes were until I showed them some on here! ...

Hello! Random question for those who have flown with cakes before. I'm flying home to MA for the 4th of July. I want to bring a decorated cake (8 or 10 in. round) home with me for our cookout. My question is, if I keep it in a box...

Thanks for the input! Sounds like I will try Duffs. I'm not sure if they'll eat the fondant accents or not but just in case. I agree with all of you about buying black or red fondant. It's easier and better tasting than the hassle of...
