Wow... well, I must say that I am a HUGE fan of red satin ice!!
I have never been able to cover a cake so quickly. In the time since my last post, I got my cake carved, crumbcoated, and iced. And it took me all of 15 minutes to get it covered in fondant! I was working with the gumpaste but decided I really dont like it--it was too finickey. So I made some white marshmallow fondant and tinted it yellow-orange. And then cut out the "spikes" and the "spots"... I forgot I dont have any rice krispie treats to do the legs, tail and head yet, so I'm going to get those when I go out in a bit and get this cake finished!!! I have NEVER done a cake so fast before. ...Course the treasure chest cake only took me 2 hours. It usually takes me many, many hours--the unicorn took me 5 for example. I'm SO excited. And really glad I started it early bc I dont have to be up working on it all night.
And I have to throw in a kudos to my husband---I told him that I was about to start trying to work with the Satin Ice (and he remembers the ruined batch I got last summer)... He said "Let me go bump the air down some more so it'll be super cold in here--maybe that will help you." I was praying the whole time I was getting it out that it'd work well, and when it just rolled out so perfectly I said "Wow, God, really?! Thanks!" HAHA
gumpaste question
The PLAN is to do a red stegosaurus with yellow spikes. Hope it works out--if not, I at least still have time to run to the grocery store and order something from the bakery.
