Knoere's cake:

Knoere described their cake:

Happy Birthday! My cake is a very simple (but delicious!) marble cake. As you can see on the progress photos, I baked the cake and then made a marshmallow fondant using (self evidently) marshmallows and powdered sugar. That was quite sticky as one can imagine :D. I cut the cake in order to get my 3 levels. After colouring some of the fondant with food colour I covered the levels with it (2 green and 1 yellow). Now began the tricky part - the decoration. I wanted to depict the layout of this website and therefore tried to copy the leaf fringe. I used some more green food colour to get a darker green for the leaf decoration and then formed them all one by one. I did the same (but in purple) with the flowers and the garland at the top level. Then I formed the figurines. The bird at the top is supposed to depict Totoro (though it was kind of hard to mix a gray tone with the food colours...) The kitten (I think it worked out the best) is based on the cute kittens of this month. And the rat is also based on this month's first grown up rat. I also used fondant to form the letters. Once I had put the letters and the figurines on the cake I painted them with food colours using a brush. So, I hope you all enjoy it! I would love to let you taste it as well but that could be a bit difficult to accomplish :D My niece allready tried it (she could not wait to eat it!) and especially liked the fondant! Thanks for holding this contest and Happy Easter to all of you! Edit: I found it hard to read my name on the paper in some pics - I am sorry for that - and therefore edited those pics a bit (with photoshop). I hope that's ok for you. Apart from that, I find the pics pretty self-explanatory so I did not add any further text in it...
