I did a tea set for a woman's grandmother's 80th birthday party. She also commissioned two 1/4 sheets becasue she knew that her grandmother wouldn't let anyone cut into the teapot. She was right and apparently now wants to know if there is any way that she can PRESERVE the cake...she wants to know if she can spray it with shelack (sp?) or something.

Personally, I think this is ridiculous and I make cakes to be eaten but I don't think she's going to eat it either way so if I can help I will. But, I really don't think this will work...it will just go mouldy inside right?

Anybody know anything about this?

P.S. I also don't think it's good enough to preserve anyway! My favourite part is when they cut the cake up so I don't have to see all my little faults and imperfections anymore.

Hi. Your cake looks great. I am wondering if you could make her a dummy cake using a styrofoam ball and royal icing. Just an idea!

Yea I don't think she can save a real cake. A dummy would work but that would be like them buying another cake. The only thing she could do would be to freeze it like people do the anniversary tier of their wedding cake. Great cake though! I love it!
