joannqn Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Just wanted to share. Thank you for the help with the cake. I ended up making a chocolate chiffon cake, which is exactly what I wanted. The filling is chocolate ganache. The frosting is cream cheese. The decorations are rice krispy treats and fondant. BTW, we are celebrating both DS's 9th birthday and his friend's birthday (4 days ago) and both are Doctor Who fans. DS is fine with sharing. Either I'm doing something wrong, or fondant is evil. After spending much of two days on this cake, I now have to clean my kitchen, which looks like a tornado or two hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secular_mom Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 That is so cool, I hope ds is still into Doctor Who when it's time for his birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Lovely! I'm very impressed! (From a mom who took the easy way out, and just iced the cupcakes in dark blue!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Lovely! I'm very impressed! (From a mom who took the easy way out, and just iced the cupcakes in dark blue!) That would have been a wonderful idea! Only we've watched too many episodes of Cake Boss, and they make working with fondant look easy. Without the proper tools, knowledge, and experience, the stuff is evil. EVIL! There's probably 7-8 hours of work in that cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Next year it might be faster just to build the model rocket: http://www.rocketreviews.com/reviews/all/sq_police_call_box.shtml Knit a tea cozy: http://whipup.net/2007/09/18/crafty-crafty-blog/ and buy cookies. :lol: Very nicely done and I'm sure he loved it. My daughter's been watching cake boss and now I think I should be very afraid of her next birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I love it! :iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Knit a tea cozy: http://whipup.net/2007/09/18/crafty-crafty-blog/ . Wonder how this would crochet-up? I LOVE it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Wonder how this would crochet-up? I LOVE it! I have no clue, but it sure is cute. I'm pretty sure I could handle that model rocket but I'd be all thumbs with that cozy. I'm thinking my daughter might be getting a Doctor Who birthday cake this year though. Thanks for the idea. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Awesome!!!! I want something like that for my birthday, too! Looks like I may have to start practicing diddling with fondant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
