An Audition

An Audition on Cake Central

This is a copy of a beautiful cake by peggylicious (hers is much better!). I got a chance to try out for a part time cake decorating job at a very big hotel here on Long Island, so I needed a design I thought I could pull off in an afternoon in their kitchen. I don't think it's my best work, because I was rushing to keep up a professional pace, and I don't think I'm ready to work in such a hectic atmosphere. But if was a worthwhile experience anyway, and I'm glad I got the opportunity.

The little flowers are very tiny "Duff roses", made with 3 circles of the fondant (from the middle tier) and rolled together till the petals spread a bit. I let them dry a bit while I took lunch and piped the vines, and they were dry enough to handle.

The tiers are 8", 10", 12". If I'd baked them myself, I might have chosen a smaller top tier and slightly larger difference between the sizes.
