This is beautiful!!! I love it! Incredible detail and I can't believe it, that must have taken you forever. Congratulations
CONGRATULATIONS MOMMY AMY!!! *hugs and kisses*
I told ya you would win. You are a true ARTIST!!!
That is Wonderful! All of her cakes are beautiful. Her stringwork is top quality. She must have the patience and the steady hands of a surgeon.
Amy,
I wanted to let you know that I showed your cake to my husband and the first thing he said was WOW!!! He also wanted to know how you got the cake to San Diego?
Oh my gosh everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You all are so kind! I still can't believe it. It's so weird, it's like a dream. Never in a million years did I think I could ever create something that was worthy of such an awesome award. They scored me a 296 out of 300! The BOS though is not picked based upon scores. BOS is picked by the judges as their favorites!! Apparently my cake was center on the table because it was the best of the best! All five cakes on the BOS table were definately worthy of BOS! More than me I think!!!! I am my own worst critic!!
I drove me cake down here in the back of my van. I put the top tier on when I got to my sister's. Believe it or not I will be leaving with it in the back of my van AGAIN tomorrow morning on my two day trek back home to WA!!!!! My SIL has been there with me through the whole process but not the top tier so I figured I had better take it back so she can see it. Hopefully it'll make the trip back just as well as it did down!!!!!
Thank you for the comments on my cake. I sincerely appreciate each and every one of them. It's everyone here on CC that encourages me to continue to try new techniques.
Next up.......GUMPASTE FLOWERS!!! Okay, who wants to teach me?
Well, I held your hand through this one, I can teach you gumpaste flowers. Come on down Amy!
Alright now Shirley! Are you ready to do this again? I envy each and every one on here that can do gumpaste flowers. I am so darn tired of not being able to put beautiful flowers on my cakes. It's my turn now to learn the technique of gumpaste.
Okay, time to pack up my laptop. I have to head out early in the am on my trek back to WA. Man I hate that drive. The only pretty thing is Mount Shasta!!!!!!!
Amy
Hey cakemommy! Good goin' girl!!!!!!! So proud of you and you deserve all the recognition you are getting. Just nominated you for the spotlight also. Hey how about a tutorial on the Lambeth method or some of the australian stringwork????? We like to learn from the best and we have the best here.
Congratulations again.
Way To Go Amy on your win........your cake is GREAT and has such wonderful details. Beautiful!

Have a safe and nice trip back home.
