Sorry it's been so long since a new post. Christmas and things since have been quite busy. Also, my laptop seems to be on the fritz so it's difficult to write. Okay, enough excuses. On to the cake!
This was actually my first cake that I made with creative decorating. It was a going away cake for my friend that was moving away from Kansas.
9x13 cake pan
1 box yellow cake mix
1 can Frosting - dyed green
1 tube yellow icing
1 tube red icing
1 tube green icing
Yellow sugar
Dorothy figurine
Make cake as directed. Frost cake with green tinted frosting all over. Using yellow icing and a round tip, draw out the yellow brick road across the cake. I even did the bricks. I also used this to write on the cake. Then fill in the road with the yellow sugar. Using the green icing and a grass tip to make grass along the edge of the cake and the edge of the brick road. Using the red icing and the star tip to make the red poppies. Lastly, place the Dorothy figure on the road.
Trial and error: Since this was my first attempt to tint frosting, I couldn't get it any greener than that. I thought for the most part, everything turned out pretty well for my first time!
Be Crafty,
Kris
Favorite quote from this Buffy episode:
Buffy: What are you doing here?
Spike: Look... Buffy: Five words or less. Spike: [counts on his fingers] Out for a walk. [pauses] Spike: Bitch.
