marie antoinette

she's the one who said let them eat cake, right? after weeks of cake-making, i have to say i don't really want to touch one for years, but here are photos from last night's test.





all the decorations are made from fondant, with some royal icing details.

  1. I really like your blog. I'm wondering how can you make this pictures so big... I mean when I try to post bigger picture, it always stays small.

  2. hi P.L., thank you! i was also so frustrated about the small photos that blogspot uploads that i did a bit of research and found a way to load them bigger. if you open a picasa account (free through google, picasaweb.google.com) you can upload photos there and then simply click on the photo you want to upload to your blog, click the "link to this photo" link in the right column, and select the large size (up to 800 pixels) and then copy and paste the code into your blog. thank you for reading! xo audrey

  3. Did you make the colorings yourself? Because it totally looks like something out of your closet! I've never seen a cake dressed in such colors before and it's really refreshing.

  4. hey ren, yeah, we just got plain white fondant and royal icing and got to mix up the colors myself. classically cakes with fondant are supposed to be pale pastel colors, but since we got to make our own and that ain't my style i made it as bright as i could. thank you! it was really fun to do.
