I'm a fan of the Food Network. I love watching how stuff is prepared and practicing my knife skills (yes, cutting things correctly is a skill and one that needs to be practiced - definitely speeds up the whole preparation time). My dad and I want to go to Culinary School - preferably together. But one of my favorite things about cooking is cake decorating. I could watch Ace of Cakes all day long. I LOVE IT. And I have this perception of myself as someone who could totally knock out an awesome cake just by having a little craftiness and some stubbornness to go along with it.
So.
Today I'm attempting this. 
Ok. Who's laughing?
I won't be using the same colors but the basic idea will be the same. Camille's 3rd birthday was Sunday and her party with all of her little school friends is tomorrow. So I'm gonna try it.
And know that I'm not above getting one from the Publix bakery if this one turns out as something worthy to appear here.
Stay tuned.....

Ooo...can't wait to see your final product :o)...I'm sure it will be amazing--I'm with you on the cake decorating. I imagine that I would be quite good at it--just never really have taken the time to hone my skilz!
Girl -- hats off to you! I love your spirit. I bet you do a great job! Hey and just the willingness to try is much more than I have.... well these days anyway.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Girl, you are a rockstar for even ATTEMPTING that cake! Cannot wait to see how it turns out!!
i'm totally impressed! i attempted one too! i made my own fondant though...which tasted MUCH better than the store bought! let me know if you need the recipe (or some tips from a very NON-expert cake maker! :) good luck!
good luck! Can't wait to see the pics!
I LOVE cakes like that! I can't wait to see the pictures!!
just read on Twitter that the cake didn't make it. But props for trying, you'll never do it if you don't try!
But thanks for the link to Cake Wrecker. I was crying because I was laughing so hard.
Some much needed comic relief!!
oh girl! When you told me you were going to try fondant I had no idea you were going this fancy!!
OOHH!! I wish I lived in the ham so I could come over and just watch :)
I know you can do it!
I can not wait to see the final product!!!!
Enjoy the party
Love you
Kim
Best of luck and much prayer going your way! You are a brave woman! I bet you pull it off shamelessly:)
You go, girl! I love me some Duff too. I totally want to take a cake decorating class one day soon.
