this cake is about being attacked by monsters

aka JACK, THE PUMPKIN KING~

aka a ginger brown sugar spice cake; the filling is a layer of (dairy free!) creme anglaise topped with locally grown parker pears poached in wisconsin rose wine (wollersheim's blushing rose, for those who are curious) and thinly sliced. decoration: hand-painted vegan fondant -- SLOWLY BUT SURELY I AM GETTING THE HANG OF THIS SHIT. >:[




sideview. i took some more of the orange food dye i used to color the fondant and painted it around the sides, working it down with a combination of dilution and drybrushing to get the desired watercolor-y effect.


the insides -- look at how gloopy that creme anglaise/pear layer got! omnomnom.


kill the beast!

for try two at vegan fondant (and for a completely experimental cake that i TOTALLY MADE UP IN MY HEAD), not bad at all! this is a dessert to which i believe i will actually return. with a little bit of tweaking it could be super badass. :D

xo :)

but ... isn't cake wrecks for bad cakes? i am confused and/or made insecure. (this cake could SO EASILY have been a disaster, you see. but it WAS NOT, and i am REALLY PROUD OF THAT :D)

man, we've had that plate set for years and none of them have broken! in this house that's a major feat of dishware.

Sundays are for the really good cakes!!!!!!!!

(silly girl - this is so far from a wreck it's not even funny.)

I think the cake is amazing - the more so for being vegan!

And I shattered one of the bowls to that set about a month ago. It hit the floor and exploded! I took pictures and called my mother I was so shocked. My set is almost 20 years old.
