Anyhow, I asked for a cake decorating kit (in Dec. 2004). I finally got around to making a cake - the Martha Stewart cake I have been dreaming of all this time - tonight. Someone at church was saying they needed cakes for an activity so I volunteered, knowing that this was the only way that cake decorating kit was every going to be used.
I say beware Martha Stewart because this project took me 5 HOURS to complete. It's 1 a.m. and I have to get up in 4 hours and go to work. (and YES, Martha's was much better than mine, but still, I'm pretty happy with it). Through the process I only got more addicted, and will definately be cracking out the decorating kit more often. I don't mind the time investment because it's a little theraputic. And it's kind of edible artwork....so I can still tell people I'm "doing my art....".

Your cake looks amazing!!
Looks great Pam, keep up the good work. Maybe you can do a cake for Brads wedding. You may have the next ten years to learn hahahah!!!
Pam, it's great! It looks almost like a vintage cake! Those RS ladies better appreciate it!
WTG!
The cake looks great, but I just can't quit thinking about how you only had four hours of sleep. It makes me sick thinking about it. I get worried when I haven't fallen asleep before 10:30, because I feel horrible the next day.
Before reading your post I thought this was a painting. Wow! Really nicely done.
minks, it's time you knew the truth about me. i have a disorder where i need to have some reason to stay up way too late every night. were it not the cake, it would have been something else. so when i talk about being tired, don't feel sorry for me, just say "it's your own fault."
I really like Martha...but rarely am I brave enough to try anything she does. Way to go! The cake looks great, almost too pretty to cut into.
wow, pam! that cake is beautiful, not suprising coming from you though! it didn't at all shock me when you said that you only got a few hours of sleep....because isn't that what you do? all through college, i don't have one single memory of you sleeping at night, ever. i do, however, have many many memories of various activities you did instead of sleeping.... lets see, giving yourself a haircut, for one. oh, and, making yourself new pairs of pants by simply laying an existing pair of pants on some material and tracing them to make a new pair of pants. i think late-night-cake-making sounds perfect for you!!
