Classic Winnie the Pooh cake - So...this is my favorite cake I have done in a long time. Not because I love the end result more than any other, but because I had SO much fun doing it. I drew every character on this cake freehand and it was the most fun I have had drawing in a long time. I love these characters and really enjoyed putting this one together. I think I spent 10 hours on this one, but I honestly loved every minute. Well, maybe not the minute when my mixer died...but every other minute. :) I took a picture of all the plaques before they went on the cake, so I am going to put that here too. :)
love it! What did you use to draw and color the fondant??
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing!! You make me want to barf. Love you!
ReplyDeleteSaw this cake on Cake Wrecks blog. This is one awesome cake!
ReplyDeleteWhy o why aren't you based in the UK :( Beautiful, just beautiful.
ReplyDeletePS I'd also like to know what method you used to draw and colour, please.
Thanks so much you guys! I had no idea this was on cake wrecks. I feel so famous! He he
ReplyDeleteI used edible food color markers for this cake. I rolled the fondant and let it dry for just a minute and then started drawing. Then I used a sponge and tiny bit of water to move the color around and make it look like watercolors. It was so much fun!
This is such a beautiful cake! It brings tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of hand painting on my cakes, too... I love the look of your watercolor technique. Your work is just gorgeous!
Please be assured you were **Sunday Sweets** in Cake Wrecks, not the other 6 infamous days of the week!
ReplyDeleteLovely cake! I had to come over to your blog from there just to see it for myself. Well done! :-D
Just saw this on Cake Wrecks! Absolutely wonderful! I think I live about an hour's drive to Roy and am already considering seeing if I could order this cake for my daugther's first birthday this summer!
ReplyDeleteThis cake is stunning! Would you be bothered if I were to try and replicate it for a baby shower I'm hosting next month? It would match the theme perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much! You are all so sweet! Jenny, I just got your email and will respond shortly, and Meghann, I don't mind at all. Good luck! Just be prepared, it took me about 7 hours to draw all those. :)
ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteHave just been on google looking for inspiration for a Winnie the pooh cake and came across your beautiful cake. I had been going to model some figures but on seeing yours I would love to try a painted cake.
Would you mind if I too copied your idea
Beautiful cake. Wish I could draw like that!
