SA State Competition. Special Occasion Cake. FIRST PRIZE.
SA State Competition. Masters Section. Special Occasion Cake.
FIRST PRIZE winner.
This was total NIGHTMARE. The tiers are 5" carved inwards. It took me literaly whole day on lovely Saturday afternoon and cover and re-cover and re-cover it about 50 times or so. I still did not get it right!! It either tiered at the top, or went on elephant skined starting from the middle. I should have coverd it wrapped around, but that was for Masters section and the design did not really allow for sims hiding. Anyways it'll have do as is. If you do not look very close it is hard to see that the cover is a bit elephanty. The bottom tier was textured, so it looks much better than the top.
Butterflies were a lot of fun to make. They all painted freehand. Combination of pale yellow, ginga & nathurcium colour made for quite a few colour combinations.
The topper wanted to topple over. It is VERY fragile and took me a while to figure out how to support it while it was drying. Couple of "petals" fall of while I was securing the flying butterflies, but luckily they did not break and I managed to re-attach them.
Delivering this thing was even more interesting than to make it. It was raining! I did not have a box tall enough. Had to lift available box flaps and it just about fit into the car salon blocking all the rear vision!!!! Fun that was FUN! It will be funnier still when I will need to take it back tomorrow alone ( my husband drove there I was his rear vision).
hahahaha Pam, RARE vision was corrected to be REAR vision.
