I loved making this cake!!! Lots of firsts for me... First stenciling, tallest single fondant covered tier (the 6" double barrel), first attempt at edible jewels, first fail at edible jewels (went with gum paste & luster dust instead), first and last time I use a boxed cake mix based recipe (I definitely prefer scratch recipes), and first transportation trouble... the cake was rather tall and narrow, smallest tier was 4". Thanks to Stellastarchild for sharing her converse shoe pattern and directions! The stencil damask pattern, color scheme, and overall design for this cake is based on the party's invitation... see my blog for more details.
