Finally I can flash the cake we are having

The Sock Chicken, 4 March, 2010 at 21:39 Posted on Planning 0 21

As some of you might remember, I found the cake we wanted, saved the picture on my laptop and also printed it out and stuck it in my scrapbook. Then my laptop died taking the cake photo with it. 2 more laptops later and I still haven't been able to find the cake anywhere online, so have never flashed it.

Anyway I needed a photo to give the lady who is making it but didn't want to give her my scrapbook. So h2b came up with the genius idea (I'm so stupid sometimes I never thought of it myself) to take a photo of the photo on my phone! So here it is.........

    Zippy you could also scan the picture if you were able to and that would be clearer.

    It is a lovely cake and I really like the tiers which sit at the edge. What flavours are you having?

    I love the cake, very simple but pretty. Clever OH for pointing out the obvious! My OH does the same! He lets me moan about something for weeks then he tells me how to fix it! Grr!! Why can't they just suggest things when we first moan!?

    The colour hasn't come out on the photo. The ribbon is sage green, the same as on my favour boxes in the photo below.

    That's what we had but the big sponge was a cutting cake in the kitchen and our second tier to the side of the cake was choccie. I'm hungry now just thinking of cake.

    Ooh I love the cake Zips - I don't think you need to scan it - its quite clear from the pic.

    I'm doing something with a similar decoration (but lots of mini cakes and then a small normal size one on top) just not sure how to stick the ribbon to them ( I'm making them myself) - was thinking perhaps just use the sugar paste but haven't experimented yet.

    Ask the cakemakers on here how they stick the ribbon on. Or if I remember I will ask the lady who is making mine, I work with her

    Love it! Ours was basically a round version of it without the flowers.

    To stick the ribbon on, either use icing sugar and water mixed to a thick paste and stick just at the back of the cake OR if you have time, search for edible glue....
