That looks soooo good. I can't decide if I want nachos or cake though! Great job!

JulieBugg2000 on 24 Apr 2006 , 3:13pm

Thanks guys!! I was nervous to post the photos because I just started doing this so I have a LOT to learn. But I did the chips in MMF and coated the back side with candy coating so I could shape them, and the olives and tomatoes are MMF. The lettuce is tinted coconut and for the cheese I melted yellow candy coating into a block and shredded it.

I'm so glad I found this site - there's so many unbelievable cakes here! I love this cake - where did you get the idea? How did you do the cheese?

JulieBugg2000 on 25 Apr 2006 , 6:05pm

The idea came from this site, so kudos to everybody else! It started as tacos, then taco salad (shell kept breaking). I was about to throw in the towel and my fiance said, "why don't you just make nachos".. I had extra MMF left over from the toppings, so I colored it yellow and threw in some crushed Oreos for texture and it worked. The cheese is yellow candy coating that I melted intoa block and grated up.. Wala, taco salad. :)

jillyjoey on 25 Apr 2006 , 7:55pm

Awesome -- great idea

bekahd on 26 Apr 2006 , 1:49am

FerretDeprived on 26 Apr 2006 , 3:47am

Wow! I thought that was real chips and such. I thought the whole thing was completely real! Made me hungry for some chips and dip.

finnox on 30 Oct 2006 , 9:33pm

That is one amazing cake!!! It looks just like nachos you could have really tricked someone with that.

RitzyFritz on 27 Jul 2006 , 10:49pm

NO WAY!! This CANNOT be cake! WOW...pat yourself on the back! This is wonderful and very realistic!

mackx5 on 10 May 2007 , 10:50pm

sooooo creative! How do you do the "meat"?

JulieBugg2000 on 11 May 2007 , 3:06pm

thanks!! the base for the meat is a 9 inch round chocolate cake with the edges trimmed so it will fit on the plate. Then I crumbled up some more cake with a little dark chocolate icing added to it and spread it around the perimeter of the round. By the time you add everyting else on top, you don't see the round and it looks like the entire thing is a pile of crumbled up "meat"
