So, I’m halfway through Operation Four Cakes in 11 Days While Working Full Time and Traveling for Thanksgiving. My house is a disaster area.
By that I don’t mean it’s more than a little messy, with dirty dishes in the sink and unfolded laundry on the sofa.
What I mean is that I’m seriously considering grabbing my dog and my computer and moving. Every dog-safe area is overflowing with stuff – cook books, junk mail, clothes, crafts projects, gifts, and on and on and on.
I may not be graceful (or even slightly coordinated), but I sure am an impressive stacker. There’s only been one minor avalanche so far. Yeah me.
Anyway . . . here’s the cake I made for my niece this weekend. As usual, she blew me away with her talent - and comedic timing. The play was hysterical.
I cut out building shapes from black fondant and let them dry.
I used blue fondant for the night sky.
To add some depth, I painted the sky with purple and black food coloring and threw in some silver stars.
Since the play took place in a theater, I added a curtain.
And of course, I couldn’t forget the moon.
