My girlfriend’s birthday was coming up and I came across Threadcakes. I’ve been wanting to try decorative cakes for a while and thought this would be the best opportunity to jump right into it. I feel that it was a success. Everyone was thoroughly impressed and delighted by the sweetness of the cake.

I only bought 1 cake pan, which made baking 4 layers a bit long. We spent all Sunday on the cake, and then I finished it with the gum paste trees, boulders, and King Kong on Monday night. Did I say King Kong? Yes … I added in King Kong just for kicks … a little extra surprise on the cake.

First my girlfriend and I made the fondant and let it sit. Then I baked the cakes with a yellow cake batter, recipe thanks to my KitchenAid cook book. I layered them as I went, using a store-bought white whipped frosting. Then my girlfriend and I placed the fondant on top. I painted the pancake’s griddle marks to make it more delicious looking. I added frosting to make the waterfalls look splashy :). The next day, I painstakingly cut out little trees and boulders from store-bought gum paste. I added the trees and boulders with frosting. Then I said to myself … something’s missing … King Kong! So I made him … gave him a grin, and placed him on the side of the mountain-strosity.
