Here's the first cake I did for the Illinois State Fair.

[sinkingfeeling]

I'm entering 2 in the decorating contest this year. Have about a week to finish the second one.
This is a cartoon cake and I got the design from Pinterest.

1. It's adorable!

What's the flavor inside?

[sinkingfeeling]

4. All cake decorating contests are done on cake 'dummies', like they use in bakery's windows. Sorry.

[barbtries]

14. oh.

have to admit, i wondered how you could keep it edible for days and days.

[Wednesdays]

23. Fruitcake can be served after YEARS.

I speak from experience.

Note I wrote "can be served" and not "edible."

[viva la]

15. Well, it looks really luscious!

And I love the kind of pillowy chubby aspect.

[blm]

2. Super cute.

34. Wow, so beautiful. n/t

[calimary]

35. FABULOUS!!! OMG!!!

I love the little "drips" and "drops" of "frosting". Looks "good enough to eat", even though I'd hate to see it cut open, cuz it's too beautiful to eat. It should be on display somewhere. That would be SO perfect for a cartoonist's reception or art exhibition!

Glad you took photos!

[Emile]
