Doodle Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 ... I really had no idea what I was doing on this one! :lol: If that is a product of "no idea what I was doing" than you must produce some spectacular cakes when you do have an idea. That is fabulous work! :thumbup1: How long did it take you to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in St Louis Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) How did you make that? Inquiring minds want to know. I covered the cake board in scrapbook paper, tore a hole in part of it, and cut and glued a printed out WOW logo peeking out of the tear. Then I covered the board in contact paper. I figured out the shape by drawing what I wanted on pieces of printer paper and laying them out on the board. Then I could tell where I wanted the "crystal ball" to be, and I used superglue to affix it to the board. IMHO, every dragon needs some sort of spherical, sparkly something. I baked 3 cakes in my pyrex baking dishes, filled each with chocolate filling, and crumb coated each in blue buttercream. This would take care of the body, tail, and hind legs. Then I made a bunch of rice krispie treats and used that mixture to form the front legs, head, and neck. Coated those in buttercream as well. Made a huge batch of blue marshmallow fondant and rolled it out and let the kiddos use the small oval cutter to make scales and hand them to me so I could attach them to the body. Got the whole thing covered, and realized no self-respecting dragon arrives without wings, so I made a wing pattern and used candy melts to form those. Prayed. Prayed. Prayed. Especially during transport. And somehow it came together!!! :tongue_smilie: I could write more on this topic,but I am supposed to be making 80 mini-wedding cake cookie favors and they need to have icing on them by midnight so they can dry......:crying: Tired. Need sleep. Did I mention DD's eardrum ruptured this week? There, now you know. :tongue_smilie: Any thoughts on what I should charge for this? Materials ran about $50. I hate figuring the bill.

mommy2be Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 You should be able to charge $200-$300 easy! My wedding cake was $150 and it was no where near as difficult! You have amazing talent! It looks great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
