I'm out of superlatives too, but I still have room for more cake!

Bloodyhell, Ali, you've really stepped it up. Your cakes have always looked great, but this is a whole new level.

The sunset one is still in my kitchen. I am very proud of it. It's a double barrel cake, so two full sized cakes stacked up. There's 8 layers of cake there. 4 of them raspberry white choc, 4 choc peppermint, both with complimentary fillings. I used a new technique (to me) called the wrap method, which is where you roll your fondant out, then lay the cake down on its side and roll it up. I was nervous, but excited to try it and very pleased with the results. The airbrushing I was very happy with, and all the silhouettes were cut free hand using a scalpe, except for the blades on the windmill. I used a square cutter and then halved it then halved those halves on the diagonal to get the shape I was after. .

What Dani said, Ali.
You're a true artist. The cowboy one is more spectacular now I know the details, but it was the sheer decadence of the choc one which blew me away. And I don't even do cake! Can't wait to show Mum over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Yes, knowing the details of your sunset/cowboy makes it even more impressive.
But I suspect there's more talent and coordoination in the pink roses atop the 2nd cake. They show a very delicate touch - in keeping with a more formal overall design. Well done, all. |

Although I could definitely make those flowers, I actually didn't. I found a place that sells them for half the price I can make them for. I decided to use them because my customer didn't have a specific colour requirement, and just wanted the same as the previous cake I had used them on.
