First attempt at a tilted cake. Did this for a local cake contest....learned as I went. My theme was obviously KSU...but took it a step further and put our instate rival's mascot "in jail" on the back side! LOLOL They're Jayhawks....as if anyone cares!!!!!!!!!!! MMF was a mess for me....too dry and not a smooth application at all. Gumpaste flowers with floral ribbon and filler added. Luster Dust and Pearl Dust here and there. FUN but stressful!

WOW! How did you get it to lean without falling??????? Amazing.... You should have won!!!!!!!

Phoov 4/12/06 at 2:37pm

LOL....well, in the construction process, I wasn't sure that it WOULDN'T fall! LOL I followed Colette Peters' instructions in her book, CAKES TO DREAM ON. She made it sound fairly easy......It made me breathe heavy!!! LOL And I had to construct it at home and drive it to the competition site! I made my husband drive and I held the cake AND my breath.
