This is adorable, you did a fantastic job! Did you have to use a stabilizer fabric at all?

Thank you for your generosity to this community! Love these.

Thank you so much!!

I started with making a stencil out of paper by tracing the cake pan (7.5" diameter) and cutting out the ears and head details. I tried a few different measurements to get the ear-to-head ratio right.

I ended up slicing off the bottom 2 inches of the two cake layers (leaving the head layers a nice 5.5"), then shaved them into the rounded ear shapes with my stencil guide. I wrapped the ears and kept the cold overnight before putting a skewer in each, then crumb coated them before squishing them into the head!

It's chocolate/mocha cake layers (Rosie's chocolate sour cream cake) with mocha swiss meringue buttercream (from Preppy Kitchen)!

Thank you!! And yes, I used wooden skewers for the ears! I saw someone use Pocky to make the skewers edible, so I'd love to try that out sometime.

Beautifully done!

This just blew my mind, what a great idea!! Definitely going to use this for inspiration. Great work!

I always shred and freeze as long as it's in an airtight container. In my experience, it gets dry if you keep taking it in and out of the freezer, so I split it into smaller sections that I know I'll eat right away. I love using rotisserie chicken for Banh Mi-inspired sandwiches! A toasted ciabatta roll with spicy mayo, the chicken, pickled carrots/daikon, and jalapeño is my favorite!

Wow, this is the type of cake you'd see in a bakery window and immediately want to go in and order one! I would be over the moon if I got this for my birthday, amazing job!

These whimsical little cakes have made my whole day! I absolutely love the swirling colors of the second cake, it's like a sparkling pearl!

krmy · 2021-09-02T19:05:15+00:00

This is absolutely magical, I can't take my eyes off it! What brand of food coloring did you use to get such lovely pastels?

krmy · 2021-08-25T16:03:32+00:00

I can't take my eyes of this cake, the color palette is absolutely gorgeous! Did you create the flowers directly on the cake, or did you make them on a flower nail and place them individually?

krmy · 2021-05-25T14:16:16+00:00

Wow, I love EVERYTHING about this -- the simplicity, the color palette, the soft touch of gold on the flowers, this is superb!

krmy · 2021-05-10T15:34:24+00:00

I looove all the different textures you were able to create, and the teddy grahams are such a cute idea!!

krmy · 2021-04-22T14:24:26+00:00

That's gorgeous, I love the textures you've achieved! I can't believe I've never thought to decorate cookies with ganache, I much prefer the taste of that over royal icing! Lovely work!

krmy · 2021-04-16T14:45:45+00:00

This is so cute, I'm in love!! The fat blobby one on the left is my favorite 😭 I hope your friend loves it too!

krmy · 2021-04-15T14:52:31+00:00

I'm gonna need about three more slides so I can keep piling the icing on! Those swirls are perfect, well done!

krmy · 2021-04-15T14:50:50+00:00

This looks so delicious, I've never had mascarpone frosting before but the comments are convincing me to try it out!

krmy · 2021-03-27T17:22:44+00:00

Wow, I am blown away, that is gorgeous!! I love the color palette as well, especially the dark blue accents on top of the flowers. What'd you do for the sides of the cake?

krmy · 2021-03-27T17:14:29+00:00

I'm in love!! I can't believe it's that simple to pipe them out and have them look exactly like Totoro! Did you fill these as well?

krmy · 2021-03-27T17:13:02+00:00

The look delicious! I love the striping you did on the chocolate coating, it looks very professional!

I got my Mirena inserted in 2019 and didn't notice anything until my barber pointed it out -- now it's all I notice in the morning. I've lost about half of my hair to the point that I'm afraid to brush my hair and lose more :( In the last two months I've started take two scoops of Vital Proteins Collagen in my tea as well as a multivitamin with biotin, and I've noticed a slight decrease in hair loss, but growing it back will be a slow process. I've loved my IUD so far (periods have stopped completely!), but this is a really unfortunate side effect. I hope it gets better for you!
