| rolling out the fondant |
It is hard not to be inspired if one takes Miranda (the Cake Master herself) as the guide of possibility (having just seen her amazing cake for Michael's 7th birthday)
I was the 'credit card person' (the one who followed Duncan around the grocery store as he picked out the implements and resources he would need).
While his first thought was to work with icing (pre-prepared, in a can), we saw that the store also carried packages of fondant. Having seen a few episodes of 'cakemaster' style cooking shows, he determined to try his hand at working with this new medium.

Here is documentation of Duncan's labour of love.

So this is more than a semi-amazing cake. Just brilliant. The last photo made me laugh out loud. Loved the look of pleasure on your face, Duncan. I can hardly wait to get to Victoria. I haven't tried the rolled icing before. Now I will come to your house and learn at the feet of a master.
ReplyDeleteAs well, I would like to know who ate the cake?
ReplyDeleteIncredible work, Duncan. You are the Cake Master!
ReplyDeleteduncan would say it looks better than it tastes. is this a truism for life?
ReplyDeleteThe only cakes that stand up to being better than they look are the ones that Miranda Johnson makes.
ReplyDeleteToday David was studying the difference between a plant and an animal cell. Can you imagine how big his grin was when I showed him this blogpost? He kept shaking his head and saying "amazing."
ReplyDeleteI don't know if David will ever return to this post to take a look at the comments. But I would like to ask him one thing. Now that he has seen how to create a magnificent science product out of a cake, will he begin by baking some and practising culinary skills. Buying many cake mixes is a good start.
