and the Secret of the Oozing Buttercream
Event: "That Takes The Cake" 2011

7th Annual Sugar Art Show & Cake Competition (Austin, TX)
BUT I DIDN'T ACTUALLY SUBMIT THIS CAKE
Division: Adult Intermediate
Style: Buttercream Only
Media: styrofoam dummy, Wilton buttercream
So I was too embarrassed to enter this cake into the show. I felt fantastic about it when I finished it ... but that was over a week ago. When I brought the cake out before the show, I saw how the colors had bled and the whole thing didn't look as bright as it used to. I just looked at it again to take pictures and you know what? I should have just submitted the damn thing. It's not a train wreck. Know what else? I would have grabbed an easy 3rd place! There were only 2 cakes in my division for that category. Oh well, maybe next year ;)
WHAT?! I can't see a thing wrong with it! (But I have to admit I completely understand the second-guessing.) I hope you feel better in the future!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!! and thank you soooo much for your help!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask how you did the image? It is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThis technique is called "frozen buttercream transfer". Here is another post I did that sort of describes the process, but there are plenty of tutorials on the internet if I didn't explain enough!
