It is my Dad's bday and I have been dying to try one of these and this gave me the chance to do it. although it is not very masculine he will love it all the same. Please give me any thought things I could do better etc.....
Did you do anything to anchor the top layers to the bottom layer? I'd be afraid to have them slip from the cake. It looks delightful by the way. I really enjoy the dimension and the texture of the accents you added.
Thanks guys!! You are to kind. I think my fondant accents need to be a bit thinner. I have a hard time with it sticking to the counter top when I get to thin. Any suggestions?
I just have to add my 2 cents. What an absolutely fabulous cake. Dad will be more than proud to try that cake. I don't know how you keep the two top layers from slipping, but it looks great. What fun!!!!
Great cake! Regarding the fondant sticking--you can use siliconized potato starch sprinkled on either clear vinyl (buy it by the yard at craft stores) or on a SilPat. You will be able to get it much thinner without any sticking. Just be sure to continue to sprinkle surface lightly with the powder. HTH
That is such a cool cake!!! That second tier looks like it's going to slip right out. You know you've done good when everyone asks.....'How'd you do that???'!!!!!

Fab, how did you do the 2 top cakes, they look almost spherical?!
They are 2 lg cupcakes that I underfilled the pan covered with bc then shaped with mmf.

Are you freaking kiddingme...improve what? It should be in a magazine!
I echo all the positive comments above!!!!! Has a real sensation of slippage, would make me nervous if it was in my house!
Your cake is wonderful. No critiques needed!!! I love the originality of the different shapes.
I love it!!!! It's so different!!!! I like the fondant accents fat, give the cake a great effect.
