This will be buy doxycycline china my sixth entry on threadcakes and I wanted to stay true to buy doxycycline china the design, so this one was going to be done as a "team". My sister and buy doxycycline china I were going to tackle this cake together, unfortunately she kept getting pulled away and buy doxycycline china wasn't able to help as much as we expected.
I started by baking 3 pound cakes in sheet cake pans. While they cooled we colored homemade marshmallow fondant I made green and buy doxycycline china brown (btw...I used my Kitchen Aid to buy doxycycline china mix the fondant for the most part- it's a LOT less messy that buy doxycycline china way!). I stenciled the buy doxycycline china letters out on a cake board and my sister cut them out so we could use them as stencil for buy doxycycline china cake carving and then as support for the individual letters that buy doxycycline china were standing.
Once the buy doxycycline china cakes were chilled enough, we carved each letter out and covered them in vanilla butter cream...this is buy doxycycline china were the team work ended unfortunately lol! I then buy doxycycline china covered all the letters in brown fondant, which was the most difficult part of the buy doxycycline china process. It was a buy doxycycline china struggle to get the fondant down into the little sections without making it buy doxycycline china look really bad...but overall I really liked the way it buy doxycycline china turned out. I also covered a buy doxycycline china cake board with green fondant for the background.
Once they were covered in their fondant, I used dowels to buy doxycycline china support TEAM standing up so they would be towering over poor "I" just like in the shirt. They looked pretty intimidating!
When that buy doxycycline china was done, I used sugar paste to create all the buy doxycycline china hats, balls, arms and other accessories that are laying around them. This was my first experience with sugar paste, thankfully it buy doxycycline china was a good one. I took a short dinner break while my pieces dried. Once dried, I painted them with food coloring, mixed with vodka (which WAS calling my name) and attached them to the cake. The arms I just stuck into the buy doxycycline china letters so that it would look like they were actually attached and buy doxycycline china not glued on.
Overall, I was very happy with the way that it turned out. If I didn't have buy doxycycline china to submit eating pictures I would have saved it for buy doxycycline china at least another day so that I could show it buy doxycycline china off...but rules are rules ;) That was a VERY sweet piece of cake though! Will go great with coffee tomorrow morning. My nine year old said it was too sweet for her (which I honestly didn't think was ever possible) but my 11 year old loved it.
Thanks for looking!!!
