Who wants to see my pretty pretty princess cake?

Miss Lynx is having a princess party because we're grownups and we can do things like that now, so I baked a ridonkulous cake. I want to post it to FB but I don't want her to see it yet, and while she has a DW, she never checks it, so I think I am safe posting it here.

It is not as structurally sound as I want it to be, on account of I thought I would use good jam that was tasty, rather than cheap-ass jam, but it turns out the cheap jam does a much better job of holding cake together. Oh well. Fondant covers a multitude of sins. I'd like to get a bit faster with sculpting so that I can get a better face without worrying that it will dry out, but not bad for a first attempt at a person-cake?

Here it is before I painted it. Like a Greek statue, it looked far less tacky, but I was going for tacky:

She's really buxom for a non-dairy cake! ha ha ha

Seriously, this is gorgeous! I am awed that you made an actually fully edible beautiful sculpture.

Holy shit is that ever awesome! Sorry to be missing it. I’m staying home and keeping M company tonight since he can’t go out to Bauhaus tomorrow.

In all fairness, Greek statues were originally painted in gaudy colors.

Yeah I'd say that's pretty impressive for a first attempt. What's fondant like to work with? Sounds like something that would demand quite a bit of patience.

I love princess cakes, I love bright tacky colors, and I love good jam, so I approve of all of your choices. A magnificent achievement.

I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing about this terrifying cake. In any case I love it.
