You did a gorgeous job Shirley! Love, love it! I was so impressed with your geodes that I took the Craftsy class, too. Haven’t made anything yet, but I will!

This is so beautiful!

Thank you ladies. It took me awhile to get all the supplies I needed to make this but am happy it is done. Sandra did you like Rachael’s class? I found her to be very easy to follow step by step.

Shirley

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits

Yes, Shirley, I loved her class and will probably watch it at least a couple more times. Did you make your crystals or buy them? I had the impression the ones used in the tutorial were purchased.

Sandra, I ordered white rock candy from Amazon, colored it by mixing assorted dust colors and alcohol. Poured the candy into the mixed colors and swirled it around with a spoon till they were all colored. Then I spread them on a plate and let them dry over night. In the tutorial of Rachael’s I am pretty sure hers were pre-made white rock candy colored after they were adhered to the cake.

Toni, thank you so much. I haven’t been really excited about learning any new cake designs lately, but when I saw Rachael’s cake I had to learn how she did it.

Shirley

gorgeous!

Thank you so much Christine. I used to enjoy going to rock and mineral shows, nature has the most amazing surprises inside what appears to be a plain old rock.

Shirley

My Sweet World. That is the sweetest compliment ever, thank you! And that is Great Grandma now, I have thirteen of them! :)

Shirley

Thank you Marlene. Must be my ego, but the cake is sitting on my dining table and I keep going back and sneaking peeks. I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Shirley

Ooh my dear Shirley, I wish you health and happiness to enjoy your precious grandchildren and your creations to come. :)

After the discussion of “fake Cakes” that I seemed to have missed out on, I want to come back and make clear that this is a dummy cake. I posted such on Carftsy’s website and Rachael Teufel’s class projects. Living alone there is no way I could use a 3 tiered actual cake and I also wanted to keep this as a display for awhile. But yes, it is made of cake dummies, carved with a hot knife.

Shirley

That is Craftsy not Carftsy, sorry.
