Here it is...
Jan. 25th, 2009 09:58 pmFinally got around to installing the software for our new camera (yay!), so now I can show y'all the cake I made for Arisia!
As I've mentioned, this was the 20th Arisia, so the chair asked me to make a cake for the staff party. She said I could do whatever I wanted. Hee hee.
I was thinking of doing a topsy-turvy cake (a.k.a. a "mad hatter" cake), but realized when I started shaping it that the layers needed to be taller and narrower. Oh well. Hopefully it still looks cool.
Used 5 lb flour, 5 lb sugar, 1/2 lb cocoa, 6 lb confectioner's sugar... took me 2 nights (3 if you count baking). It was gobbled up in 1/2 hour. Fortunately that's a good thing for a cake.
Pardon the background clutter, I was going to snip these down but don't want to spend any more time on it right now.
For those of you who want to see all the steps, ( Read more... )
And for those of you who just want to see the final product, ( Read more... )
As you may be able to infer, my "vision" for the cake was "rocket to the moon." (Could also be called "Excelsior.") What do you think? Did it work? :-)
