[cryssi]

Now I'm no pro, but I thought that this one turned out pretty well...(aside from the little details that I know I can do better next time).

That is TOO CUTE!!!!

Great job!

 

[cryssi]

thanks!

You did an amazing job with this cake....very impressive!

 

[mbb]

Wow!

Is that all rolled fondant (??I think) icing?
The middle too?
How did you get it to stand up???

Cake newbie here

 

[lewdyan1]

Wow! That is super cool!

 

[Twigs]

Cool! What did you use as tissue paper?

 

[cryssi]

the outside is all marshmallow fondant (MMF). I rolled and cut out the bag's sides a day early, and covered the backside with white chocolate (it was not stiff enough).

the "tissue paper" (thanks for recognizing what it is! ) is also thin MMF kind of held up with broken up white chocolate...

thanks you guys! I'm glad you like it! It was tasty, too...(white chocolate cake with lemon filling...mmmmm)

 

[lewdyan1]

Are you crazy, you actually ate it? I would have put it in a glass box to preserve it!

 

[cryssi]

no one wanted to cut it, so they made ME do it...lol

mmm, tasty!

That's absolutely gorgeous! What talent!!

Is there any chance we can get you to share the recipe for the cake & filling? White chocolate & lemon sounds scrumptious!!!

 

[cryssi]

Thanks Deb!

Truly the best doctored formula. It is the only one my mom uses now!

I cheated on the filling! I bought sleeved lemon filling from my local cake supply! It is quite good, like lemon curd, yum...

 

[mbb]

Again, cake newbie here...

On that recipe, do you prepare the puddings and dream whip, then combine? Or just dump 'em all in??

Thanks!

 

[cryssi]

just dump 'em all in!

 

[FormrCastMbr]

All I can say is "WOW"...you say you're not a pro but you should be. I wish you lived closer, I'd pay $$ for a cake like that!

 

[cryssi]

thanks! that means a lot to me...

 

[DisnyMama]

"BEAUTIFUL"!! Fantastic job. When I first glanced up at my screen I thought "well that's a Tiffany Bag, where's the cake?" Silly me when I realized that was the cake I was looking at. I am really impressed that you got the Tiffany Blue color so right.
I can't wait to see what you do next.

 

[cryssi]

thanks!
