Bottom cake is chocolate covered in Chocolate Modeling Clay. Top cake is white covered in White Chocolate Modeling Clay. The bow and ribbons are made from 50/50 White Chocolate Modeling Clay & Gumpaste. The cake colors are a near perfect match for the colors the Mom is painting the baby's room.
Wow! Gorgeous!!! Love every detail.!!! Especially how the package actually seems wrapped... I mean the ends being folded........ great idea!!!
I wish I had folded the ends on the brown one too. It was a whole lot easier than making sharp corners with the chocolate clay. I'll remember that if I ever do another one :wink:
Looks absolutely perfect to me. Really neat looking.
Another really great cake by you! Only thing I think is out of place is the long tail on the top bow. I didn't know you could rollout modeling clay to cover a cake this big - thanks for the technique as I like the taste better than fondant but have only used for roses.
I'll definitely make the next bows shorter. Thank for all the suggestions.
I think the big bow on top is magnificent! And I love the folds in the blue cake. Also, I'm really impressed with creasing you did on the brown cake's edges- very nice!!
Critique Group Member: Great job on this cake.. (my son is a Collin with two L's too so I had to awwwwwe).. The blue tier looks just like a package.. love the folded sides. I agree that the bow loops are a bit long and that makes it hard to arrange them, but over all this cake is too cute for words. :)
Yippee gift tag and not writing on the cake. Love it. Your bows is nice. But your taf should be thinner like paper. I got a tag cookie cutter from ebay and loved it the minute I got it. I'm thinking the board should be a bit bigger also. I recently got advice that it sould be 2 - 3 inches larger. :wink:
I meant tag not taf
great job! bow is nicely done! each loop is perfect and identical to the next. The bow tails are a bit long. I like the wrapped paper lines added to the blue package and would have liked to see that on the brown package also.. lends a very realistic appearance. I am not really partial to the colors, but understand that was what the Mom ordered. Again your cakes are so nicely square and level!
