Here’s my wedding cake entry for the Chicago Baking and Sweets Show 2014! The bottom tier is completely hand painted (with the exception of the little green squares) with royal icing extensions. There are also royal extensions “holding up” the top two tiers. The second and third tiers are hand painted with fondant accents. The Thunderbird on the top is made from gumpaste and is also hand painted. I think I had a lot of fun with this one, and I wanted it to look different from everything else that anyone could have entered. And yes, I succeeded in that regard. Won’t know if I won until later today, but even if I didn’t, I still LOVE how it turned out :)
