Stunning!!!! Lovely work!!!!

So intricate! Gorgeous

WOW, its beautiful, love all the details!!

Wow Sawsen…its beautiful! I bet your dad will be well chuffed!
Thanks for the tips on the carrot cake, ive never attempted to carve one before! I always prefer ganache over bc everytime too….
Happy fathers day to all the dads out there! ;-)

Wow its a lovely cake!! Thanks for the tips and i totally agree ganache is a saviour..:-) xx

What an ordeal! But boy what an amazing result!! This is amazing in all it’s details and embelishments. Happy Fathers Day to your dad x

Thank you all for your lovely comments :) best wishes for father’s day too! 💖💖

Oh my Sawsen, it sounds like you had so much trouble with this cake! In the end though, it turned out magnificent! I absolutely LOVE the relieve cake board!! So stunning, and perfect!

Wonderful work Sawsen, I love the accents!

Oh my dear….what I time you had!!! Beautiful result tho. Wonderful cake!!! Board is beautiful too.
I’ve always used bc icing under my fondant…never an issue except you can’t always get the crisp corners on the cake like with ganache. And fondant, I always roll it up tight right after I cut it away from the cake, and any remaining and place in plastic wrap, then into ziplock bag. And your right about carrot cake…too moist. I don’t add nuts or raisins to mine, family doesn’t like. I make a carrot pound cake….good a solid.

Thank you Toni, Selma & June 💖💖💖 yup was a bit of a challenge but I’m glad it worked out in the end!

Talk about a challenge but the good news is that you won. The cake is gorgeous.

Gorgeous, Sawsen !! Thanks for the advice !!

Thank you Goreti & Dina 💖 you guys are so supportive xx

Beautiful ..love the details xx

Fabulous cake, brilliant job

I’m sorry Sawsen, had to have a little giggle, I’ve been there! I won’t carve fruit or carrot cakes any more, it’s just too much trauma. A beautiful result nonetheless, and I particularly love the board :D xx

Oh my goodness what trials and tribulations, but fantastic end result Sawsen. I often have cake making experiences like this, but you always learn from them. Thanks for sharing your advice too.

Gorgeous! I love the ornate board and well done for overcoming all the difficulties! :-)x

Its gorgeous !

Sounds like your Dad’s becoming a silver surfer!!!
Good for him xx
This is such a fantastic cake and full of soooooo much love I can tell xxx
By the way….I totally agree with you about the devil being in buttercream.
The rustic cake I made give me nightmares. Everytime you move your pallet knife it pulls off the cake and brings out the crumbs………….hate the stuff….lol xx

Thanks all for your complinents on the cake, and sympathies for the experience! Character building I guess :) Lol Karen that’s exactly what happened to me, even using that fat piping tip for crumb coating instead of just a spatula. I guess I’ll have to take extra pleasure in cutting it up tonight! Xx

Fabulous cake and amazing detail Sawsen.

Thank you ladies <3 yup sometimes we learn the hard way! Xx

Very eye catching and congratulations on the brave soldiering on. I’m sure your dad will love it.

Sawsen, what a beautiful cake! It seems like every time I try something different, it goes wrong! But you accomplished it wonderfully! I don’t use as much fondant, but last month I had to cover an area (baby bump cake in fondant, and I had a regular thick coat of BC.. it was a pain!

Lovely

Thank you all :) yes Nancy I didn’t have fun with it either lol… Just had to keep going

Gorgeous

Wonderful work!

Lololol but fab job, it’s beautiful x

Thank you all! Glad I gave you a chuckle Michele :)

Beautiful details.

Thanks Mayra xx

Haha! I am so clearly hearing you here. I too always save the left over fondant as I hate to waste anything, and then end up wasting more as I have to scrap it and start again!!
Well done to your Dad on sharing and liking too. My Mum has just about got the hang if liking (usually other people’s work not mine because “I’ve seen it and said how much I like it”). Sharing though is a whole different level and let’s not mention attempting a comment lol!.
By the way, the cake is lovely. The edging on the board is so beautiful.

Beautiful

Thank you all :) haha Karen yup he’s started get the hang of it now! Firat year of having a smartphone he didn’t even bother with an fb account lol… Then he got one and never looked at it, it’s only since our collab he’s started being active :)

Thank you Jacqueline :)

Wonderful!…love the board too. xxx
