Det er da utroligt, som jeg har tendens til at undgå bloggen, når jeg har lavet en kage, som jeg ikke er tilfreds med. Og det hjælper faktisk ikke, at lade tiden gå, da jeg har større problemer med billedet af en kage, når jeg ikke længere kan huske den indædte kamp for at få den færdig... når det så er sagt, så er her en kage, som jeg lavede til min kusine's mand's fødselsdag. Skal vi ikke bare nøjes med at sige, at det er for ambitiøst at lave en kage, som skal forestille en bygning, hvor bygningen i forvejen synes at trodse samtlige naturlove. Ikke engang CPT/RKT gider at hænge i luften uden støtte. Dog lykkedes det faktisk at lave bygningen i CPT, smøre den op og overtrække den, selv på undersiden (dog er det altså ikke nemt at skære i CPT, når man ikke har en eneste side som er plan, og som den så kan hvile på, mens man skærer), men den gik meget hurtigt fra at være knivskarp, til at falde sammen - skide tyngdelov! Men figuren var sjov at lave :)
Odd, how I tend to avoid my blog after making a cake that I am not happy with. And it actually doesn't help to let time pass by, as I have even bigger issues with the picture, when I no longer remember the fight I put up in order to finish the cake... that being said, this is the cake I made for my cousin's husband's birthday. Lets just say, that it is overly ambitious to attempt to make a cake, resembling a building which is already defying several laws of nature. Not even CPT/RKT will float in the air unsupported (the actual building only rests on 3 spots). I did actually manage to make the building using CPT, coat it with buttercream and cover it with fondant - even underneath it (allthough it really isn't easy to carve CPT, when it doesn't have a single flat/even surface to rest on, while you carve), but it quickly went from having sharp edges, to just sagging - damn gravity! But at least I had fun with the figure :)

Kagen bestod af Mudcake med After Eight Creme, smurt op med Chokolade Smørcreme og overtrukket med Satin Ice fondant. Bygningen er lavet af Cocopops Treats, ellers er resten af pynten fondant.
