The Curling Cake
Feb. 3rd, 2012 01:41 pmI have just realized that I never posted the photos of the cake I made for The Boy's engagement party!
It was held on New Year's Eve at the local curling rink, so I went with the obvious theme: CURLING!
Originally, I planned to make cupcakes that looked like curling rocks, but then I decided that they would be too much work and probably not look very good if I made them delicious, so I went for two slab cakes instead.
Scale was a bit of an issue, and as usual I forgot to leave some of the icing uncoloured for the detail work, but I'm still pretty pleased with how it turned out. How often, after all, am I going to be able to represent my favourite curlers in gummi form?

The only real surprise with this cake was the degree to which everyone made fun of me for having such a well developed story. Jen understood me, though. We watched a lot of curling together up to and including Vancouver.
