In: Autumn Birthday Cake in album: Fantasy/Gothic/Fairytale
My second attempt at a fondant covered cake.  This was the second birthday cake I made for myself last year!  (See the first cake/attempt called the Happy Boo-day Cake in my picture gallery).  I baked the tree canopy in a big glass salad bowl.  Everything is fondant painted with a food color/vodka mixture.  I didn't want to color the fondant itself because I learned from the first cake that coloring fondant is a lot of work and very time consuming, and time was something I was very short on.

oh, and i think i would like to live in your tree
Truong 3/19/10 at 12:19pm
I'm sorry, kimmisue2009, but someone already lives there. A mouse, as I told my friends. I wanted to make a mouse out of fondant, but time ran out. I was piping the centers on the flowers in my boxer shorts (I hope I didn't just gross anyone out) even as guests were arriving!

Thank you everyone, for your kind remarks. When I look at this cake, I'm happy with it, but I also see so many things that I would have done differently too!

Wow this is gorgeous! I feel the same as you coloring fondant is a drag but your painting technique is awesome :o
RhondaJoy 3/19/10 at 3:59pm
I think this is a cool cake! I love how you hand painted it. Very nice! :)
MissLisa 3/19/10 at 4:12pm
I gotta say, that cake is outstanding! But really? How can coloring fondant take longer than all that fantastic hand painting???? You have a gift! The Happy Boo-day cake is pretty cool too.

I agree with kimmisue. I want to live there....the mouse can find somewhere else to live! Make him a mushroom or something.
