The poor cake was melting, fast! The 'shooting stars' began to curl and the butter cream filling was making the layers shift. Thankfully there were no disasters and the cake was served without incident.
Anyone that has worked with fondant knows the red is a very difficult color to make. I was very pleased with the deep red i achieved for this cake. The school colors were Red, White and Black. Once again I incorporated black into the cake via the shell boarder. I think this was effective and made the Red pop right off the cake.
I think the cake turned out well despite the moisture issue that mother nature threw at us. Please become a follower of this blog so you can have notification of new posts! I look forward to meeting new people and getting feedback from all of my readers!
Until next time...
CHEERS!

This is amazing. I'm super impressed by the use of red. Wow! I would imagine it would be hard to get the color ot be even and not bleed out onto the white...I don't know how these things work exactly but seriously good job, very bold!
Red is a very difficult color to make. Even on this cake the fondant was a dark pink. I had to use a mixture of red gel color, clear vanilla extract and red luster dust then paint the mixture on to get it all the way to deep red. As far as bleeding, once the gels are worked into the fondant its pretty much locked in. The colors will not bleed unless the fondant is wet.
