wow- its gorgeous but knowing that its buttercream is just amazing

Fabulous! Into my favs.

That is unbelievable. It looks completely real. 8O

Wow amazing!!! If you've got time, I'd love to hear the details that went into such a lovely cake. I've have been asked to do something similar (without the gavel) for a friend's dad and I don't even know where to begin. Thanks.

Ice the sheet cake. Pat the spine to make it rounded and press with dowel to create the dip in spine. Use a ruler to indent the pages on 3 sides. Outline the edes of the book to make a slight overhang. Airbrush and add details.

This is a great cake - I actually have a judge friend ... will have to wait for her birthday though!!! Great cake!

Wow, this is super!

Wonderful books, and the gavel looks sooo real.

love the details. It's amazing

Nice job!!!!! :)

AWESOME !! How did you do the lettering ?

One of the best book cakes I've seen. The page indents are perfect!

perfect! :D

Really great book, I love it !!(books AND chocolatecake :-D)

I used a projector to do the lettering. I piped royal icing onto the cake, let it dry and then painted with gold dust.

Awesome work!!! I'm blown away...but I would recognize those Martindale-Hubbell's anywhere!

WOW-terrific job! This is amazing BC work!

Thanks for the directions.
