So here is the photo of the birthday cake I made for my daughters 7th years birthday party. The cake was a light vanilla cake in three layers, raspberry coulis and raspberry mousse and white whipped chocolate ganache with chopped dark chocolate. I covered it with marzipan and rolled fondant. I used some of my pearl spray from PME to give it a nice shine. I also used my sugarcraft gun to make the border see that in my kids cake gallery . It tasted really good ![]()
Happy Caking

Wowza, totally awesome cake. What a shame you have to cut into it–LOL. Are there fundraisers or calk walks at your children’s school? I’ll bet if there is everyone would bid high for your cakes!

i need the recipe of the cake and method you use in preparing it.I really love the cake.
August 24th, 2008 at 4:31 am
That is a beautiful cake,I really like the sheen that the spray gives the cake. How do you cut a fondant covered cake?
August 24th, 2008 at 5:50 am
Louise - you have outdone yourself again. I should try and get some pearl spray - looks so very pretty.
August 24th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Absolutely beautiful, you should really consider making a tutorial. I love seeing your work, keep it up

Wow just too cute !!! How did u make the horse? Looks just lovely..

I am really glad that you all like it. I am very pleased myself about how the cake turned out
I can really recomend the pearl spray it comes in other pearl shades but I think the pearl on is the most vesatile.
The only thing is when useing the pearl spray a good thing is to put the cake in a large cardboard box because it is a bit messy and you will get glitter everywhere like if a pixie had gone though your home?? but its easy to wipe off with a wet cloth.
Theresa: I got the template from here and there are more little cuties: http://www.coloring-book.info/coloring/coloring_page.php?id=132
Denise: Funny you should mention it because I have thought of it. So there will come a book in the nearest future
Rita: Have you seen under “Cake Projects” in the gallery? Its not a “full” tutorial but the photos should give a jint on how it is made. I am planning on making a color flow tutorial but with a more simple motif.
Lilianete: Welcome to my site:-) i am sorry but I dont speak spanish and so far I have no plan on translate the site to other languages than english.
Seagoat: The plaque it made of of rolled fondant. I have not adden any hardener to the fondant.
anjorin: Right now I am busy planning a cake for a cake exhibition i am attending so it will not be now but maybe later.
Kristen: do you mean how its cut into servings?? or how I cut it with the fondant plaque on?? Fondant is soft so any sharp knife can cut through. With the plaque I removed it before cutting the cake as my daughter wanted to save it.
dulzuramagica: look at the link in the reply for Theresa.
Thanks again everyone for your always encouraging comments.

Hi Lilianete!
How about using Babelfish to translate Cakejournal into Spanish?

It came out absolutely beautiful! I have been wanting to try marzipan under my fondant, do you make your own or do your purchase those small tubes? I just can’t see how I can cover a cake with 7 oz of Marzipan unless you can purchase it in larger amounts? It’s a bit expensive.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
so cute. I am preparing for my son’s 1st birthday and our theme is western. I really hope I can have just even half of your artistic hand/mind. would you be able to teach us/me how to make horse toppers? puhlease. thanks!

I love it! Very nice colore range. Beautifuly made ponny hourse

Maria C: I use the marczipan from the store and buy it in packets containing 17 oz. I did not use all of the 17oz for this cake (8″) and yes marzipan IS expensive but so does all food these days.
Gail: I would Google for hors coloring pages and then scale the print down and make color flow on a plastic sheet. Or get some cowboy themed cookie cutters and use those on rolled fondant.
Viki: Thank you
