Good Intentions

I am almost done with my cake for Threadcakes... Here is the original design that was designed for a t-shirt

So I started by Making the Rice Krispies that I would use for the sun and houses.

Then I got all the necessary equipment ready to be used!

Here I am coloring the Fondant green... this is quite the work out...


Love my Kitchen AIDE! It makes making the buttercream frosting so easy...


I forgot to take a picture of making the cake, but because I was pressed for time I just used a mix... which it is always a little more tricky getting it out of the pan for some reason...

Adding lots of frosting to the middle because I am going to cover the cake with Fondant and I don't like the taste of fondant... so hopefully this butter cream will make up for that...

As you can see a piece broke off when I was taking the cake out of the pan... no worries though... I am going to carve that right off! Good thing I wanted to do a sloped cake...

Getting the Fondant on the cake...

Getting all the wrinkles out and smoothing it to the cake... I always get to this point and want to just smash the last wrinkle... but if you keep working it out pretty soon it will all be flat on the cake...

Oh hey SUN! That is a rice krispie treat covered...

Here come the little houses...

Not perfect... but will have to do

It is starting to come together! Assembling it all is my favorite part!

Adding the water

Adding the little pitcher for the water to come out

Almost done!

And it is complete! Well almost, I just have to paint on the trees to the bottom, but can't find my paint brushes...

So it took me some time to do this cake, but it was definitely worth it! What do you think?

started...

I started my contest cake today.
  • Rice Krispie Treats - check
  • Shape into a ball - check
  • Eat some of the Rice Krispies - check, check, check
  • Shape tiny little houses - with gooey treats - check
  • Tons leftover - check, means yummy snack for the week
Tomorrow I will bake the cake, color the fondant, carve the cake, frost the cake... If I have time I will assemble it all... If not, I will assemble it on Saturday.

I have been trying to decide what to do with this cake, so I think I am going to take it to Chick-fil-a in the afternoon (do you think they would think that is weird?) and show them all how much I love that place! I have loved the free breakfast tuesdays this whole month as well as those amazing little nuggets...
