Not too good. My eye sight isn't what it used to be. The turrets aren't really level and were hard to form.

[redwitch]

1. It's adorable!

Good luck, hope you take a first!

[kimbutgar]

2. Beautiful cake

Looks too good to eat but I bet it’s delicious!

Thanks for sharing. I am jealous of your baking skills. Never made a cake or baked in my life. My Mother didn’t like baking. So she never taught me. One skill I’m sorry I never learned.

[CurtEastPoint]

3. fantastic! Congrats on this!

[madaboutharry]

4. That it is very impressive!

I hope you win, you deserve to come in first place.

[Yonnie3]

5. Oh my!

That's quite a cake!

I am trying to figure out how big it is.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Main castle building is 4" x 4" and 6" tall. It weighs about 6 pounds.

[Yonnie3]

9. Thanks!

On my screen it seems to be about its full size.

I marvel at the detail. It is something this klutz could not do.

Good luck at the fair.

[Siwsan]

6. Lovely!

I paid for my college text books working at a Baskin Robbins, decorating ice cream cakes. Still decorate a few celebration cakes for family members, from time to time, but NOTHING even approaching something that spectacular!

[tblue37]

7. Wow! You've got mad skills. nt

[skylucy]

10. I think that is adorable!

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Excellent job (How's it taste?)

[Demsrule86]

12. Gorgeous.... You are so talented. I am so impressed.

[Sherman A1]

13. Superb!

[marble falls]

14. Why is Moscow Mitch and his wife dressed like that at Red Square??? ...

Really nice decorating!

[More_Cowbell]

18. Ha-- looking from the top down, I too mistook it for St. Basil's at first

Even though they're different turrets.

Beautiful cake!

[FailureToCommunicate]

23. Wow! THAT was my first thought as I scrolled down...Saint Basil's Cathedral!

Maybe NEXT year's cake entry?

[sinkingfeeling]

28. No more turrets! Can't make two of them the same shape.

[marble falls]

29. They are amazing. Are they on cake centers or all marizipan?

[sinkingfeeling]

35. Cake covered in fondant. The turrents are heavy since they're made of

sugar modeling paste (fondant mixed with gum tragacanth). I removed some of their centers to reduce the weight. I'm still nervous they will smash down the towers.

[FailureToCommunicate]

31. You may think that but I think your turret efforts look amazing. And tasty!

[yellerpup]

15. Outstanding!

Good luck!

[Callalily]

16. Gasp! That cake is fantastic!

I wouldn't want to but into it and spoil it - but I would! heeheehee!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

17. KR NT

[Lonestarblue]

19. Wow! That's amazing. Good luck!

[BadGimp]

20. WOW!

That's beautiful and amazing.

[gademocrat7]

21. Amazing!

A labor of love.

[Mars and Minerva]

22. I love it...consider adding a fondant carpet rippling down the steps.

[sinkingfeeling]

26. Too much work with my limited time until it has to be there. But

if the towers fall down during the ride to the fair grounds, it'll look like a lot of colors on the stairs.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

24. Takes decorating into.... A Whole New WOoorrrrrllllldddddd.. (sorry didn't want to, had to)

[sinkingfeeling]

42. Great singing ability. At least, you got that it's Aladdin themed.

[MsLeopard]

25. It's awesome!

I love the elephant (GOP) climbing the stairs begging for rubles. I hope you win!

[JDC]

27. That is amazing

[Kurt V.]

30. Gorgeous. good luck!

[lunatica]

32. My first thought was Taj Mahal with the figures

It’s wonderful!

[CentralMass]

33. That is beauriful.

[Adsos Letter]

34. Whoa!

Excellent work!

[sheshe2]

36. You are talented!

Beautiful.

[AllaN01Bear]

37. ohm myyyyy.

[fierywoman]

38. You're brilliant! What flavor is inside?

[cstanleytech]

39. Far better than anything I could do. Hell, I cannot even draw a stick figure straight.

[Fla Dem]

40. You win 1st Prize in the DU Fair. Beautiful job on your Aladdin themed cake!

41. It's lovely. Makes me hungry. Nt

[LostinRed]

43. Amazing

Good luck!

[Pacifist Patriot]

44. With stellar eyesight I couldn't do that.

Wow!

[redstateblues]

45. You are an artist

[Collimator]

46. It's too bad that. . .

. . . You can't have your cake and eat it, too.


A young co-worker could not grasp the meaning of this expression. I tried to explain to no avail. This cake would have made an excellent example.

See how pretty this cake is? Now, once you've eaten it, you no longer have it to look at and admire.

[trueblue2007]

47. YOUR CAKE IS WONDERFUL .... and i bet it is Y U M M Y !!!!!

[diva77]

48. Truly a masterpiece!

You've already won -- your creation is making a lot of people smile

[IronLionZion]

49. That looks amazing!

looks like it took some time and talent. I like the monkey and elephant, they're a nice touch.

[Olafjoy]

50. Love Love Love

I just adore going to the fair and looking at all the magnificent creations people make!! Thank you for sharing.

[Aussie105]

51. That is NOT a cake!

It's a work of ART!

But honestly, a diabetic like me is drooling over that. Unobtainable, fortunately.

Some feedback from consumers of this artwork would be appreciated though.

(And I admire your patience, artistic skill in creating this masterpiece, and above all - thanks for sharing! . . . . me wanders off to wipe the drool off his face.)

[SergeStorms]

69. Same here.

I went into diabetic shock just looking at it!

[emmaverybo]

52. Ravishing!

[Duppers]

53. This is crazy good!!

What do you do with your big cakes once they're judged? Throw a party and invite friends? Wish I lived in Arkansas!

[orleans]

54. it looks wonderful but how the heck are you

going to move it?

[nilram]

55. I thought the roof and thought it was the Kremlin...

I was especially confused with the elephant in the orange monkey.

My eyesight isn’t what it used to be, either!

Beautiful and skillful decorating!

[Maraya1969]

56. It's astonishing! Congratulations!

[Scarsdale]

57. Such talent.

Wow! It is beautiful, must take a lot pf patience to create something like that. A work of art. Good luck in the contest.

[RightiswrongTn]

59. That is too pretty to eat

Needs to go into a frozen glass case and be displayed in a museum. Wow!

[dicksmc3]
