I thought you guys might appreciate this. The Michigan Longbow Association's annual awards banquet was last night, and this was the cake that my wife and I made for their dessert contest (we've been watching too much 'Cake Boss' and 'Ace of Cakes' lately). It was a red velvet, coconut cake, and every part of it was edible (and delicious, if I do say so myself). All of the details were sculpted out of fondant and painted with food coloring. It was the first time we tried decorating a cake like this, but we had a good time, and we already have an idea for next year's banquet.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Take care,

Paul

Paul's cake was awesome! I took cell pics and it tasted good too! He placed in the top 3, but his was the best creation. It looked real.

Post by: Hawken1911 on February 14, 2010, 12:17:00 PM

Thanks guys.

The judging was based on TASTE only, with each judge only getting a bite for a sample. So third place was quite an honor.

Title: Re: This quiver takes the cake...(build along added, page 4)
Post by: Mudd on February 14, 2010, 01:43:00 PM

There's absolutely no way I would've let anyone cut that if it had been mine. I can't say what I'd have done with it long run but I'll guarantee you that until the "awe" wore off nobody would be touching it!

How very stinking cool is this? Way!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing your cake with us.

God bless,Mudd

My wife was one of the three judges. As Paul said the judges were given a small portion of all the cakes entered in the contest to taste.

Anyone that belongs to the MLA and didn't go missed an oustanding night with great food and even better desserts.

I tell you that was the best looking cake I have ever seen. We took several photo's. I agree with others. There was no way it should have been cut up BUT because it was I had two pieces.

Paul I sent you an e-mail.

The quiver cake should have got a few style points...but it WAS delicious!

The meal was almost as good as the deserts too.

The MLA Banquet is a great get together :thumbsup:
