PitchBlack's cake:

PitchBlack described their cake:

Well, after one and a half days of work and my hands being stained every color of the rainbow, I am finally finished up with it. I wanted to use a light green color with purple flowers since those are the colors that were chosen to use for the background of the website. I used pocky sticks for the background since I remember having little pocky adoptables back when I joined CS in late 08 and I am pretty sure I remember Tess saying that she really loved them. I tried my best with Avian and Totoro and I am so sorry that they are very poorly done. The colors didn't want to mix right for Totoro especially so I had to repaint her like 5 times. As for Avian, she just doesn't look her best, sorry again for that. The little red blob is a cake in the middle with little pieces of pocky as candles (I wanted to make sure you knew that since my mother couldn't figure out what it was). I added the tree in there to give it more of a foresty feel while the little white balls were just to make it a little more fancy. I even lit up the candle in the last few pictures to show just how (decently) pretty it looked :] Just in case you need to know, all the figures were made out of gum paste and colored with the regular food coloring you find in 4 packs. The pocky sticks were used for those large stick background things, and many toothpicks are holding everything up and together. I don't think this cake looks awesomely professional, but I really tried my hardest to at least get creative with it. Oh, and I forgot to put ChickenSmoothie on my piece of paper in some of my entries and I forgot entirely to put cake contest, I hope that is alright. Well anyways, I hope you all enjoy my entry and thanks so much for holding this wonderful competition. ^_^
