This would be a prime opportunity to make a "cutting the cheese" joke, but I'm MUCH too sophisticated for that... right. This was for a wine & cheese themed bridal shower. The wine bottle is made of milk chocolate that I melted and poured into a 12'' mold. I used rolled fondant for the label and painted the names on with food coloring. It's attached to the bottle with a gumpaste/water mixture so the whole thing is edible. The cutting board is actually a piece of 1/2'' foam core covered with faux wood contact paper. It was super easy to make and much lighter and easier to transport than an actual wooden board.
10'' 3-layer vanilla yellow cake with strawberry jam filling, vanilla buttercream icing, and fondant.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI love it! Wonderful work. I have just discovered a quick box cake recipe which produces a dense cake, perfect for tier and 3D cakes. It may come in handy sometime.
1 box cake mix
1 small pudding mix
1 cup whole milk
1 cup crisco oil
4 large eggs
Mix and bake at 325
Sarah! We JUST saw you and I can't believe you didn't mention this! Kick ass!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! I will definitely try it out sometime :)
ReplyDeleteI lurve the way the presentation turned out. I only wish that I got to eat the wedge of cake that you cut out to make the cheese. That recipe sounds really amazing (love the strawberry jam).
