My fourteen year old daughter (Tati of Polka Dot Pantry Sweets) and her friend Carla made this adorable cake as a test cake for a cake competition at their junior high. I thought it came out so cute. It was the first three-layer cake that either of them had ever made. There were 46 cake entrants -- they didn't win in the fondant category, but, being her mom, I though that they should have! The cake they made for the competition looked even better; I didn't incude a photo because the photo quality wasn't very good in the gym. They learned a lot about cake making and fondant. We got the idea for the top part of the cake from Frenchy.
what an adorable cake ... your daughter and her friend did an excellent job!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother creative person in your family! I love your daughter's cake and also think they should have won ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteWOW that is very good for a their first attempt!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great!
I love it! How fun that the girls entered the contest! I'm telling you, I see "Tati's Bakery" in the near future-and I'm sure the pig cupcakes will be a big seller:@)
ReplyDeleteTheir cake is adorable. What a fun contest!
ReplyDeleteThe girls cake should have won the grand prize. It's so darn cute and they did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteare you kidding?! She's 14 and can do that?! i can't do that
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she's 14! Her cake is better then a lot of adults who try decorating with fondant. She has a promising future in the cake world. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with this(test) cake! The fondant work is beautiful! Love the pretzel fence too:) I can't imagine that their entry didn't win! So talented!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so cute. Tell her she has to post it on her blog too! I love all of the details. They did a great job. She is a winner in my book.
ReplyDeleteTati I love it and am sooooo proud of you! You can make my birthday cake this year. (You can even put tombstones on it.)
What a darling cake. Congratulations to Tati and Carla for doing such a great job. I adore the tombstones and pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteAlso Joni, my oldest daughter called me said for a YMYW party this week she made some darling paper shoes she found online. They were Zoulah's and I was able to brag that you are my friend!!!! Thanks for sharing that idea too.
congrats to the girls anyway, i think they did a fantastic job

I think your daughter's cake turned out wonderfully. Kudos to her for tackling fondant. La
ReplyDeleteI think the cake is beautiful. I've never even tried working with fondant...hard to imagine that a 14-year-old did this so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the wonderful surprise "birthday" win! You made my day!
Awesome job. Wish the girls could have won. I hope they keep up with the cake decorating. Promising careers ahead here.
