I was asked to make an Xbox controller Groom's cake for my friend Mikie's wedding reception. Here are the steps it took to make this cake a success.

STEP ONE: I baked two rectangular layers of milk chocolate cake, placed buttercream filling between the layers, and used a stencil I created on my computer to cut the cake into the correct shape.

Here, red accent stripping and the logo is added using HOK Red Urethane Stripping paint and a Mack Series #10-000 brush.

The finished parts clearcoated with PPG DCU2055 Urethane Clear using DCX-61 Catalyst and DT870 Reducer. I have had long term success using PPG DBC basecoats and urethane clears tinted with HOK Kandy Concentrates. These have proven compatible for more than a decade although both manufacturers caution against it...your milage may vary?

Note the upper left box used a 1" around frame, not a 1.25" frame. I found the extra quarter inch to work better for holding a flimsy box inside.

Original instructions from Design*Sponge: Sewing 101: Tissue Box Cover by Brett Bara (it's a really solid tutorial!).

The end product looks fancy, the process to get there is easy. No worries!

Fold fabric in half diagonally so that the right-side is facing out.

Once your pot is boiling, take it off the heat and add the water/flour mix from earlier.

Spoiler alert - more on the shrine for tiaragoth! Don't look if you don't want to see it yet!

I tried painting the clock base flat black --- and suddenly it was WAY too much like a tombstone. That wasn't really what I wanted to relay as the character of Death in the Sandman series really isn't totally depressing. I needed to I to give the shrine more depth, so I first tried more painting and some stamping. Violet and dark blue acrylic added to the black -- now it's more like a night sky. Then I added silver stamping to highlight that night-time look. But now the accents seemed too "shiny" and nice...so I tried to bring down the tone with a coat of matte Royal Coat decoupage sealer. The swirls and stamping started to smear...oh no! Really, I shouldn't have worried...with the less distinct stamping (you don't see that here) the look is much more in keeping with the art in the Sandman graphic novels!

The piece you will see in Shrine 103 reflects the smeary look...which I am actually quite happy about!

I antiqued the little table by painting it black and rubbing the paint off. Then added silver highlights and rubbed those down, too.

I used chipboard to make a name plate for Death, using some gold stick-on letters. These seemed to bright, so I dabbed them with silver.

The star stickers, silver marker, crystal glitter & Diamond Glaze don't get added until the shots in Shrine 103.

Not a great photo but you can see how it all goes together. If you are one of the people who sent me a postcard, thanks.

The plant flew from its original resting place and I had to cut/propagate a bunch of vines. I'm expecting mixed success on rehabilitation. Looks about right.
