crazy cranky critter's cake:

crazy cranky critter described their cake:

Well, this is my cake :B Just before I give my little talk I'd like you to note I usually can't get plain icing to stick to a cake, so even though this isn't that amazing I think its a great effor on my part :] The figurines are made out of almond icing. I brought it pre-made in packets. I just melted it and mixed in icing sugar. The figurines were fairly easy to form. Next I baked the cake, which is a banana cake [to use up those ripe bananas I found in the fruit bowl] and I do believe I found the recipe in an Edmonds Cook book. After that I painted the models. This was where I ran into some trouble. As you can probably see the paint did not stick well. It kind of seperated out so this oily stuff dripped off and left something like a skin on them - I touched on and the paint stuck to my finger and peeled off in a sheet -__- Anyway, after finally getting the paint to stick enough to show the colour I left them to dry a bit. I iced the cake and thought I should be a little creative. Rather then putting one layer bang in the middle of the previous I made it like a staircase, putting each layer as far back as possible on the previous. My mum helped smooth the icing because I had a few little lumps on it [thanks mum <3] Then I sprinkled on sprinkles and wrote 'CS' in edible glitter gel. Then I placed on the models and took more pictures. And then as I removed them ready to eat the cake [because I hate almond icing and wouldn't want to eat Avian any ways]. As I did so I kind of made a mini story XD which I will explain with the picture captions below. The story is pics 2, 3 and 4. Pictures: One - Making the models [my hands STUNK of almond flavouring after] Two - CS gathers for a party Three - They light the candles [notice Vampy puts on a hat XD] Four - The place their squid flag and leave Five - The mixture in the pan for the bottom layer Six - Up close of U-Nick-orn Seven - Holding Sorren Fey Eight - Patting Sorren Fey [lol] Nine - Up close of Vampy Ten - Avian and Sorren For picture number two just incase you can't figure it out the things on it [top to bottom, left to right]: Totoro, little monster, Avian, Sorren Fey, U-Nick-orn, Vampiric, Squiddy and a cake. Also two of them don't have my username but the rest do so hopefully you can tell they are mine XD HAPPY BIRTHDAY CS! CCC xoxo
