This is a baby shower cake to match a bedding set. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It was a pain staking process as I acquired a new "tool" that I had to learn to operate in order to pull this cake off. If you have heard of the "Cricut", that's my new tool. It is intended for scrapbooking. However... I've adapted it to use with sugar paste so that I can cut ANY shape I want to put on the side of the cake without having to get custom cutters made or using a pattern and an x-acto knife. So... all the giraffe print from the bottom tier was cut with the cricut. The trees and giraffe on the top tier were also cut with the cricut. I spent most of my free time this week learning how to "make it work" but by last night, I could go to the computer, load my pattern, load my paste, and get my cut ON THE FIRST TRY!!
That. Is. ADORABLE!!! It's the perfect take on that bedding in cake. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I just read that you used a Cricut - I have one and can't wait to find time to try it on gumpaste. You did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteHow did you do that texture on the top tier? Again, it's beautiful.
I never thought of using a Cricut. Did you use it with fondant or gumpaste? Or fondant mixed with tylose? It didn't clog your machine? How thin did you roll it?
Lots of questions, I know, but that's such a cool technique.
So Cute!!!! I need to get myself a cricut!
ReplyDeleteHow Cute! I love that bedding and your cake is perfect!
