Historic Fail!
This is order valtrex online generic my first Threadcakes entry. I think this design is cute and order valtrex online generic funny, especially the smug expression of the odd one out. I also thought it would be great to re-create this in 3D!
I started with two 11"X7" layers of a order valtrex online generic large batch of dense chocolatey Devil's Food Cake, six King-sized cupcakes (a giant, heavy pan!), and one small loaf. Then I made up a Cream Cheese/Peanut Butter Frosting to order valtrex online generic fill and initially ice the whole cake. The cupcakes and order valtrex online generic loaf were used to carve the pyramid structures; these were doweled with lollipop/bamboo skewers/popsicle sticks depending on size, and then were frosted (crumb coat). Then I used light brown fondant for the all pyramids. I went over the order valtrex online generic true pyramids with white fondant I had tinted with yellow gel icing color, keeping the order valtrex online generic odd one as is, darker than the rest. I piped dark chocolate decorating icing for the expressions. For the order valtrex online generic shadows on the sides, I first painted on melted dark chocolate onto the order valtrex online generic sides of the pyramid, then dusted with cocoa. For the order valtrex online generic shadows on the “ground,” I also used cocoa and Sugar in the Raw for a sandy texture. I next airbrushed all pyramids/cube with liquid yellow food coloring to order valtrex online generic make them truer to the design, and went in with piped chocolate decorator icing for order valtrex online generic the outlines. I originally wanted to do the camel in fondant but decided to order valtrex online generic instead paint a camel-shaped animal cracker with melted chocolate! For the order valtrex online generic sun, my plan was to melt white chocolate, use a round pie pan as a order valtrex online generic mold, and attach it to the back of the cake with icing. However, I ended up just using a order valtrex online generic cut round cake board that was already white and sturdy enough to order valtrex online generic support the back of the cake. I also ran out of white fondant to cover this board with. I must say the order valtrex online generic front two pyramids started out small when carved but then I put a order valtrex online generic layer of frosting and two layers of fondant, so that’s a little deviation. I also learned that order valtrex online generic because of all the fondant layering, it tends to get pretty heavy and order valtrex online generic the base/frosting need to be able to handle that.
I’m happy with the way it turned out. Mmm chocolate and peanut butter…
