Want to see my 2021 fair cake entry?

[sinkingfeeling]

There was no fair last year due to Covid. Then I moved from Arkansas to Illinois in October and discovered the county fair here is only for 4H and FFA. So, decided I'd try my hand at the state fair. It's held about 60 miles from here, but my son will drive me and this guy down tomorrow.

[viva la]

1. That is amazing!

The brush strokes really look like fur.

How are you going to store it and take it to the fair?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Wow, what a beautiful cake sculpture, my dear sinkingfeeling!

It's truly amazing! Almost too gorgeous to eat. Almost.

Best of luck in the contest!

[FM123]

3. Beautiful!

[Arkansas Granny]

4. You have outdone yourself. I hope you win a ribbon.

[Sanity Claws]

5. You're an artist!

Try cutting it in front of a cat.
I remember seeing someone cut a dog cake in front of a dog and the dog ran.

sinkingfeeling. May the kitty win 1st prize!

trade secret!

[seta1950]

23. Wow

You should win

[TlalocW]

24. I think it's unfair

To just put icing on a cat and enter it in a contest. I'm impressed though at how well-trained it is holding still like that.

37. That's exquisite! How long did it take you to decorate it?

Amazing. I used to love to bake, but I haven't done so recently (and hips and belly like it that way)!

Good luck to you, but I don't think you'll need it.

[Hamlette]

[BumRushDaShow]

Bravo!!

[Dream Girl]

How long did it take?

[hibbing]

45. That is incredible n/t

[Escurumbele]

46. I would feel horrible cutting it, it would make me feel I am killing a cut...Wonderful work

I am sure its yummy as well.

[Alliepoo]

47. OMGosh!!!

That cake is fantastic! Your attention to detail is wonderful. I especially like the sweet little pink ears!! This should be a Blue Ribbon winner!!!

[BlueSky3]

48. Gorgeous.

Thanks so much for sharing with us. I wish you’d tell us more about how you create these works of art.

[JudyM]

49. Mastery. That is all.

[TheBlackAdder]

50. That doesn't even look edible, but a porceline figurine.

.

Watch those 4H & FFA county fairs & gatherings, not many people wear masks to them.

.

[hlthe2b]

51. Very very nice!

[PatrickforB]

52. Even though it is a statewide fair, with higher levels of competition,

you might just win! This is outstanding.

[pazzyanne]

53. Wow, just wow!

That is a winner.

[Fla Dem]

54. OMG! That is so beautiful. I just want to hug her she looks so real. 1st Prize!

[Alpeduez21]

55. Cats always always getting in the way

Look at that one sitting on your cake plate not letting you get ready for the fair.

I am BLOWN AWAY by your talent. That's amazing.

[catrose]

56. My kitty! How beautiful!

[ZonkerHarris]

57. winner winner kitty dinner

[SheltieLover]

Too gorgeous to eat!

Good luck!

[dawn5651]

59. wow that is gorgeous

[whistler162]

60. Don't put yourself down

I would say it is very good not fair!

[Duppers]

61. Incredible eyes & ears, nose.

I'd love to watch your process. What creativity!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

62. Beautiful cake

But it would upset me to eat it or watch others cut it up and eat it.

Cats to me are sacred. My goddesses are felines ( Sekhmet and Bast).

I can't bear to see a cat made into food and to be devoured.

So if it's cat shaped or looks like a cat I won't eat it..

But you made that cat cake amazingly beautiful.

[sinkingfeeling]

64. No one will eat it. I enter cake decorating contests, so real cake is not allowed. All entries

are done on cake 'dummies', cake pans, or styrofoam (which is what I carved the cat out of).

[I_UndergroundPanther]

65. That makes me feel a lot better

And I think you will win paws down!

[questionseverything]

80. I didn't know they weren't real cakes

I was wondering how you could do it so early ( the fair starts the 12th)

Great job!

[dbonds]

63. Wow, kudo's.

[Atticus]

67. It's official: I am untalented and inadequate. WOW! What a cake! nt

[KT2000]

68. How did you do this??

This is really incredible - well done. I hope you get a prize for that.

[Trueblue1968]

69. omg !!! what a beauty!!! soooooo pretty, YOU SHOULD HAVE A TV SHOW !!

[BobTheSubgenius]

70. There is no way I could bring myself to cut into that cake!

Not only is the cake a masterpiece in and of itself, that kitteh is too beautiful to be ruined.

Mind you, it would probably be a great shame to not put a cake to the use intended. Thankfully, the dilemma is not mine.

Congratulations!!!

[colorado_ufo]

71. Just fantastic!

[SergeStorms]

72. I always look forward to seeing...

your creations. You're so talented. I wish I lived closer to you, I'd have you create all of our family's cakes, and that's quite a few in a year's time.

Very nice. A winner for sure!

[orangecrush]
