Friday morning brought the delivery of a "Sound of Music" cake. I must confess that I cannot take credit for the design of this cake. I was at a loss for what to do so my old buddy Google helped me out. This is my take on a few cakes that I found. Thanks to those that inspired. Wish I knew your name so I could give proper credit. Anyway, I was asked to do this cake by a friend who was attending a community theater production of "The Sound of Music". Some family friends of hers had children who had roles and she thought this cake would be a nice surprise. I loved doing this one. I am still practicing hand painting with food gels. It is a world apart from water colors because things dry so fast. I am sure with more practice I will get the hang of it. Maria, the mountains and the banner were all hand cut from gumpaste and left to dry. Then I hand painted them. I tried to make the flowers something that looked similar to Edelweiss. What a fun cake, but honestly...I am a little sick of singing all the show tunes. And I am certain my family is glad the cake (and the singing) is done!
Sing it with me..."Doe a deer, a female deer..." On second thought, never mind...lol
