Just thought I would share this picture. A friend'f sister was 60 and her hobnby is sewing. I was challenged tol do womething with that theme and this is what I came up with. Must say that I am quite pleased with it. The "machine" is a run out. Had to do one in the reverse as well so that I had both sides covered and then put an afro pic in the middle to hold it up - plus more royal icing of course. the cake is a two tier oval fondant covered with royal icing decorating. Tell me what you think please.

I have never seen anything like it How creative and talented you are.

Very nice job. I'm sure that see loved the cake! Who cold eat something so beautiful??? OK, me!

Thank you all so much for the kind remarks. I actually had an old sewing machine that my mother owned in mind when I thought of using that as a theme, and I found one on the internet to use as a guide.

OMG...that's incredible!! Job well done! Very creative! This gives me some ideas. Thanks for sharing!

It looks incredible! I know you took a lot of time to do this too!! It's very creative and you did a wonderful job with it

WOW how cool is that Great job I would not have a clue to even know where to star tot something like that.

Awesome cake !

Wow!! What a wonderful job you did!! I bet the lady was so proud of her cake!

Simply beautiful. Great replica of the sewing machine. My grandmother also had one before she passed away. I loved watching her use it, especially the foot paddle.

What a wonderful cake, I just love it, so many details, really well done!
