Training

This was my first Threadcakes entry and my second even fondant cake. First I baked most of the cakes (I got lazy on the last one) from scratch and then crumb coated the skyscrapers with buttercream and the monster with apricot preserves. Then I made my fondant and covered the cake pieces (the skyscrapers, houses, cars, and monster). Next I molded my gumpaste figures (the trees, roofs, windows, and toys) and attached them with water to the fondant pieces. I did some baking and carving for a couple of nights before, and all of the gumpaste and fondant work happened in one 12 hour day in the kitchen. When I finally finished (about midnight), I tasted my handiwork. Delicious.
