A cake I did for my Art 101 final project.

I baked the cakes a couple days in advance.
Mixed the frosting about 2pm the day before it was due and finished it around 1am the next morning working almost straight through.

The cake is just instant stuff; white on top with a lemon meringue pudding filling, and two different kinds of chocolate on bottom with chocolate mud pie pudding filling.

The frosting is mostly homemade buttercreme. I tried a diffrent recipe then I usually use hoping it wouldn't be as sweet as the wilton stuff. It was just as horribly sweet (Though my classmates all seemed to like it) but I think I'll stick with it over the wilton stuff anyway, it was alot less tempramental. I only used one consistancy for the whole cake and it worked just fine the whole time.

The other frosting on it is canned confetti (or rainbow chip) frosting. I tried using it as a base so I wouldn't have the whole cake covered in the uber sweet stuff but I ended up scraping half of it off on the bottom because it was to thin and couldn't hold the weight of the buttercreme.

Crocheting is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money. Maybe that is why they call us Hookers?

Metro station - Seventeen Forever

We're one mistake from being together
But let's not ask why it's not right
You won't be seventeen forever
And we can get away with this tonight

i love you.

Thank you. ^_^

It's actually a hollow glass fishing float once used for Japanese fishing nets. I bought it at a cool pirate gift shop here in Oregon a couple weeks before I made the cake.

That's the most amazing cake I have ever seen! Is everything really edible? The dark and blue colors really give it this wild froggish nature look! XD It's awesome! I like the details like the flowers and the little stars a lot too!
