(88,437 posts)That's not a cake. That's a sculpture! It's ART! WAY too beautiful to merely eat. That belongs in a well-known public garden or in an art exhibit! Or at least shown off in a high-end bakery or confectioners display. You could even have cards made with this on the front. After all, Christmas is coming. It'd make a great gift - either picture-postcards or the folding kind with envelopes. If I owned a bakery, that's what I'd do with it.
DAYUM!!! Absolutely exquisite! Glad you took photos!

(4,519 posts)You are doing a fine job on those cakes. It definitely fits the wedding anniversary category, like a glove. I hope you win 1st place.
The 1st cake is also lovely, it is very cartoon. Best wishes, let us know how it goes.

(2,254 posts)For me, it shows simplicity in that the lines of the cake itself are clean, yet the design is so complicated and the glaze so perfectly imitates stained glass. It definitely deserves to win. Congratulations!

(179 posts)That is mind blowing! What fun! Good luck in your contest. I always love checking out the vast displays of canning and crafts at our state fair here in Texas. I go every year. Happy cooking!
