Lauren's Proposal
Did this cake for a friend whose future son-in-law wanted to propose with the cake at a "supposed" going away party for the DD. Thanks to franjmc for the inspiration and the great bow tutorial. Satin Ice fondant and gumpaste bows. "...and the greatest of these is love." is going around the cake on the board upon delivery so it doesn't get messed up. Man, is this cake HEAVY!!
How do you make the lid part?
Make the lid 1" bigger than the top all the way around, cut a 1" square away from each corner. Lay on top of cake and use a bit of crisco to seal the edges that will come together. Hard to explain without pictures!
the lid is just extra fondant?
Yep, it's just the top of the cake!
What sizes are these two cakes. And just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to do these, someone asked me for somthing like this to be done for Friday
the cakes are 10" and 4- 1/2 ". Besides baking, and doing the bows ahead of time, it took me four hours to put it all together.
Great job
This is an amazing cake! Your Tiffany blue color is perfect. Well done!!!
Great cake....your bows are awesome!

Beautiful! I need to pay you to make one for my birthday in March--lol I want to do it myself, but yours looks soo good!!

It's gorgeous! You should be so proud. Great work.
Just lovely. Everything is so perfect!! What color did you use ?
I used Americolor Turquoise. I added a drop at a time to make sure it wasn't too deep.
Did she say yes?? Your cake is great!!
Yep! She said yes! While Lauren was looking at the cake questionly, the boyfriend who was supposed to be in NC, snuck in behind her and said, "well, will you?" while holding up the ring!
