Groom's Stump Cake

So real looking. great job

Thanks Linda, the actual frosting of the cake happened fast, which was pleasing after the time spent with the gum paste elements.

awesome work .looks like a real tree trunck wow . love it :D

Thanks Galidink, I checked out your work, too and just love your Mad Hatter and Good Life cakes. You write "I'm learning" and you are learning well and fast it appears!

Very nice job.

Love the colours and the texture. Well done

Thanks tyty and LateBloomer! Much appreciated.

This is the best 'tree' look I've seen. So realistic and LOVE the detail on the board...is that fondant? Because it almost looks like roughed up buttercream!! And the shells and leaves..., wow, great job. :D

WOW! This is amazing! Great Job! LOVE everything about it.

Thanks Carm.. and Jenny.. The board is painted with royal icing. No fondant.I make a palette of Royal Icing colors and use a 1" bristle paint brush ? the kind you'd use for painting acrylics or oils. It's a fast and effective method.
