         <title>Ruffles cake</title>

In the end, I coudn’t see anymore ruffles. My hand had hurt so much, that I had problems driving my car. But I was happy with the result, even I still find it a bit strange coulor combinatie.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>Love Never Dies - Penny Dreadful Cake Collab</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/215047-love-never-dies-penny-dreadful-cake-collab</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Zquhwqzqlryb1zh0kp4u&quot; src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/c_fill,f_auto,h_181,q_80,w_181/zquhwqzqlryb1zh0kp4u.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is my piece for the Penny Dreadful collab, inspired by the costumes in the 1992 movie, Bram Stoker’s Dracula.  The love story between Vlad the Impaler and his wife Elisabeta spoke to me, and the idea that even monsters might have become that way because of a wounded soul – and might still find redemption – so I chose those scenes of the film on which to base this cake.  Don’t forget to stop by the collab Facebook page and say hi! there are some truly amazing pieces there, and it was my honour to work with such incredible artists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can see tutorials including video footage for how I made this cake, the muscle armour, the embroidered dragon and the cracked mirror topper at my blog, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://ffeabysawsen.com/2015/08/23/making-penny-dreadful-cake/&quot;&gt;http://ffeabysawsen.com/2015/08/23/making-penny-dreadful-cake/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for looking,&lt;br /&gt;

         <title>The Raven Penny Dreadful</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/215043-the-raven-penny-dreadful</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;F5naiprwpkrjwegnnozo&quot; src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/c_fill,f_auto,h_181,q_80,w_181/f5naiprwpkrjwegnnozo.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;#pennydreadfulcake&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This piece is  inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “the Raven”.  The artwork on the bottom tier was recreated with permission from artist Carlo Giambaressi, using cake lace that I painted and piped and then transferred to the fondant.  The bust of Athen and the crow are both hand sculpted.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Inspiration for this cake came from the tortured soul of Miss Vanessa Ives, the main character from the popular TV series “Penny Dreadful” and the dark and ornate décor of the late 19th century Victorian period.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tier was hand painted to replicate a gothic, damask wall paper.  Both the candelabra and frame were sculpted by hand using modeling chocolate and the dark burgundy roses were made from gumpaste.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please visit our fb page to see some spectacular work!&lt;br /&gt;

         <title>&quot;Eternity&quot; My Penny Dreadfull Cake Collaboration</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/215033-eternity-my-penny-dreadfull-cake-collaboration</link>

&lt;p&gt;My inspiration for the piece have been vampires, a subject that fascinates me. I wanted to reflect the eternal love in this work. A wedding cake elegant and immaculate, completely white that looks inspired by the garments of the era, framed by a golden pedestal and a wooden base that give a full role to the centerpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
The punch line is the blood that flows from the upper floor, the vampire bite that is the key to the door to eternal life.&lt;br /&gt;
On the table a large golden cup full of fresh blood, prepared for a first toast, prepared for eternity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“ETERNITY” In Spanish&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mi inspiración  para la pieza han sido los vampiros, un tema que me fascina. He querido reflejar el amor eterno en este trabajo. Una tarta de boda elegante e inmaculada, completamente blanca que se ve inspirada en las vestiduras de la época, enmarcada en un pedestal dorado y una base de madera que le dan un auténtico protagonismo a la pieza central.&lt;br /&gt;
El golpe de efecto es la sangre que mana del piso superior, la mordedura del vampiro que es la llave de la puerta hacia la vida eterna.&lt;br /&gt;
Sobre la mesa un gran cáliz de oro lleno de sangre fresca, preparado para un primer brindis, preparado para la eternidad.&lt;/p&gt;

The inspiration for my piece came from the many vintage/goth style dresses found on the internet as well as a handmade doll by Tireless Artist. I used the gold and black colors found often in the gothic style as well as the handmade roses. The head piece is made from wire twisted together to form a nest in which the ravens can rest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You have entered the realm of the Penny Dreadful Cake Collaboration- CAN YOU HANDLE THE HORROR? A collaboration that explores the dark, chilling and spine tingling tales from “The penny dreadful horror classics”. Frankensteins Monster, Vanessa Ives, Dracula, Dorian grey, Jack the Ripper, Werewolves, Ghosts, Demons and Vampires all interlaced with a generous helping of Gothic Victoriana and re-imagined in cake, cookies, cupcakes or sugar art&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>Enter at Your Own Risk - Penny Dreadful Cake Collaboration</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/215029-enter-at-your-own-risk-penny-dreadful-cake-collaboration</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Vly75dser0rgdijdomoj&quot; src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/c_fill,f_auto,h_181,q_80,w_181/vly75dser0rgdijdomoj.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is my contribution to the Penny Dreadful Cake Collaboration. I chose to do a gothic scene rather than a classic character or monster, and so combined several graveyard images together to create this evil and demon-guarded ancient cemetery scene. The hand-painted cemetery, trees, and guardian demons are augmented with bas relief trees, and watched over by a prominent pagan warning symbol. Indeed, Enter at your own risk….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You have entered the realm of the Penny Dreadful Cake Collaboration- CAN YOU HANDLE THE HORROR? A collaboration that explores the dark, chilling and spine tingling tales from “The penny dreadful horror classics”. Frankensteins Monster, Vanessa Ives, Dracula, Dorian grey, Jack the Ripper, Werewolves, Ghosts, Demons and Vampires all interlaced with a generous helping of Gothic Victoriana and re-imagined in cake, cookies, cupcakes or sugar art.&lt;br /&gt;

         <title>TUTORIAL ON CREATING TEXTURE USING CARDSTOCK PAPER</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/entries/2728-tutorial-on-creating-texture-using-cardstock-paper</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Items Needed:&lt;br /&gt;
Fondant&lt;br /&gt;
Rolling Pin&lt;br /&gt;
Fondant Smoother&lt;br /&gt;
Cornstarch / Powdered Sugar&lt;br /&gt;
Cardstock Paper of Your Choice. Make sure it’s embossed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/DSC_0218_prrufb.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roll out your fondant about 1/8” thick. Roll out to # 2 if you are using a pasta roller. Apply a generous amount of your cornstarch / powdered sugar mix to the fondant. Place your stock paper on your fondant embossed side up and press down with your fondant smoother with a good amount of pressure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/Image4_kytppt.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you have finish, lift up one side of your paper holding down the other to make sure your impression is even. Do this for both sides while holding down the opposite side of your paper in order to avoid double impression. If you need to make an area more defined, lay down your paper and reapply pressure in that area.&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>Help! White ganache setting issue with 51% fat in cream</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2597-help-white-ganache-setting-issue-with-51-fat-in-cream</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all,&lt;br /&gt;
I needed to be sure my white ganache will set in the next few days before I begin my work. Please help and let me know this will happen!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cream I used to make the white chocolate ganache is called double cream in Australian term, with 51%  fat content.  The ratio I made my ganache is 1:3.5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have put it in the fridge now and when I touch it, it is firm but can still be press down if pressing hard.  I would like it set hard in room temperature before I put fondant on top,  but I am too scare this won’t happen due to the high fat content in the cream.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The weather forecast is 22 degrees tomorrow which is when I will begin to crumbcoat and ganache tomorrow but next few days thereafter ranges from 28- 30 degrees till cake day!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone has any experience in using high fat content cream to make white chocolate ganache? Will adding more chocolate make the taste too sweet?   I would like to maintain the taste as it is as well.  Thank you guys.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>Red velvet recipe uk</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2595-red-velvet-recipe-uk</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all,&lt;br /&gt;
I am hoping someone can come to my rescue.&lt;br /&gt;
I am looking for a really good red velvet cake recipe for a square cake and cupcakes!&lt;br /&gt;
I have tried a few online recipes that have either not been red enough (despite adding so much gel colour)- or have not baked well!&lt;br /&gt;
Many recipes call for cake flour as they are American and my last attempt to make cake flour (using cornflour and plain) – the result wasn’t great. I’m wasting so many ingredients…. Please help!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>CakesDecor Theme: Gravity Cakes</title>

&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope you’re all well! For this week’s blog, I thought we could move away from Elegant Type cakes for now and take a look at “Gravity Cakes”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gravity Cakes are so impressive, and the talent that goes into making this style of cake is immense! This week’s cakes showcase some fantastic modelling and sculpting skills, and also provide some great examples of how colours and shading can be used to give depth and feeling, both of which bring such Gravity Cakes to life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They are all just… Wowww!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Congratulations to everyone featured – you are all such extremely talented artists!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elli :-) x&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>Converting a recipe (downsizing it) for modeling chocolate?</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2594-converting-a-recipe-downsizing-it-for-modeling-chocolate</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;I found a recipe that takes 1 lb of chocolate and add 1/3 corn syrup to it.  If I want to only do 4 oz instead of 16, what would be the conversion down to that for the corn syrup?  Is there a site anyone uses to get calculations like that?  I’ve found site that convert it to other measurements, but haven’t found one that divides it down equally.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>behind the scenes of &quot;A Walk on the Wild Side&quot; sugar shoe collab</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/entries/2720-behind-the-scenes-of-a-walk-on-the-wild-side-sugar-shoe-collab</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had the pleasure of interviewing some members of the team which made all those amazing sugar shoes, and they were kind enough to give some great insights into their experiences &amp;amp; design processes, and useful advice about making sugar shoes and participating in collabs.  I was overwhelmed by the number and detail of the responses I got so it took me a fair while to collate them (and then correct typos etc!) but it’s finally done now :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the full article is on my blog: &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://ffeabysawsen.com/2015/09/28/incredible-edible-sugar-shoes-interview/&quot;&gt;click here tor read the feature&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hope you find this as useful &amp;amp; interesting as I did!&lt;br /&gt;
best wishes,&lt;br /&gt;
Sawsen&lt;br /&gt;

         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2593-i-m-back</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just wanted to say I’ve been away on a big overseas trip and just back, battling a good dose of jet lag. I’ve missed so much here (4 weeks worth) but I am determined over the next few days to sit down, stay awake and check out everyone’s cakes and treats as far back as I can go and give you some cake love :) I’m really excited about what I will discover. Can’t wait to get started!&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>Free Cakes For Kids #3: Been away and so much to say!</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/entries/2713-been-away-and-so-much-to-say</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Well it has been a little while since my last blog post,&lt;br /&gt;
but I have been so busy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We had great success with our bid for a donation from our local rotary club and I have managed to invest in some much needed boards and boxes for my volunteers to put their cakes on and in for the children :-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have been very quiet on the caking front but I have been so busy doing the last minute organisation for our annual cake and bake competition.&lt;br /&gt;
I have been sorting out all the prizes and I have been amazed by the genorosity of the sponsers this year!&lt;br /&gt;
Katy Sue , Tesco, Wyvale, Karen Davies and so many more have donated £100s worth of prizes!&lt;br /&gt;
I have found out people are traveling from as far field as Kent and Yorkshire to enter too!&lt;br /&gt;
Wow&lt;br /&gt;
I think we may well be getting there to being a great event for every skill level and age to enter!&lt;br /&gt;
I decided that this year children can enter for FREE and I have been busy trying to get lots of other crafts and activities to fill people’s day …..&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe I have tempted you to think about coming?&lt;br /&gt;
If you are in the UK and want to join us then please visit our website to download the entry pack and find out more &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.fcfkcambswest.co.uk&quot;&gt;www.fcfkcambswest.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/cake_comp_poster_c5d6k8.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to come along and enter then shout :-)&lt;br /&gt;
We will make you feel very welcome and you will have a fun filled day too :-)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2591-hi</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;My name is Heather, I fell in love with cake decorating like many of us, by making my kids and family Birthday cakes. I soon started making cakes just so that I could decorate them ! (A few pounds heavier, I discovered dummies to practice on)!&lt;br /&gt;
I am now just starting my home based cake business.&lt;br /&gt;
I love to see other peoples beautiful creations, to learn new techniques and to be inspired&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>Sea Shells</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/entries/2710-sea-shells</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/Final_Seashell_vune2t.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supplies:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Shell Molds&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Shortening or corn starch&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Gumpaste&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Palette knife&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Small rolling pin&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Edible dusts for coloring (Brown, yellow, orange, gold and pearl)&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Small paint brush&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Small painter palette&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lightly dust your molds with either shortening or cornstarch to avoid them getting stuck. I rolled several small 1 to 1 ½ inch balls of gumpaste and made sure there were no cracks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/Ball_of_gumpaste_oprujc.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stuff the gumpaste tightly and evenly in to the molds. Roll a small rolling over to ensure the gumpaste is tightly fitted in the molds so all the details show when removed.  Slide a palette knife over the mold carefully to remove any access.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/Filled_Molds_xaeaka.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Put all the molds in the freezer for about 10 minutes so the gumpaste is easily removed from the molds without losing shape. After 10 Minutes in the freezer, carefully remove the gumpaste from the molds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/Unpainted_shells_w9ajqt.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trim any access that you might have missed when you stuffed the molds. then allow the pieces to sit out in order for the condensation to dry for about 20-30 minutes. It may be less, touch them, if they are not sticky then they are ready to be painted.  (If you have time allow them to dry overnight)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/Trimming_xfhowl.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I then used a small white painter palette and mixed different shades of brown, gold, orange, yellow and pearl dusts to color the shells once they were fully dried. I basically made extra shells and played with the colors while I cross referenced with the pictures of real shells.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/painted_shells_lpsgsm.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I found it better to paint the shells with my fingers, basically just lightly dipping my finger in the dusts and smoothing the dust on the dried hard shells. Then going over them with the pearl dust.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/Finger_painting_gzvqyc.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a little painting and mixing the different color dusts. Walla!! You have beautiful and realistic looking shells for you cake!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://res.cloudinary.com/cd/f_auto/PicCollage_mbcmwc.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good Luck!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey everyone, I am new to CakesDecor.  I live in Texas and work full time for the Army as a paralegal.  In my off time, I am obsessed with everything associated with cake, cupcake and cookie decorating.  As my kids were coming up, I rarely baked but a couple years ago my daughter got me a book on making cake pops and I’ve never looked back!  I am excited to learn more from everyone here!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>The ugly stage : (</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2586-the-ugly-stage</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi folks, so sorry I haven’t been on here much lately, I have been so busy (wedding cake season).&lt;br /&gt;
I am making another 3d cake today and I am sat here looking at it thinking, oh dear this doesn’t look great. I do this with most of my 3d cakes, they all go through THE UGLY STAGE! nothing looks right, even the dimensions look wrong. A few times I have been tempted to scrap it all and start again. Then all of a sudden it all comes together again phewww.&lt;br /&gt;
Why does this happen? It stresses me out so much. Why can I not learn to trust that it will be fine in the end lol.&lt;br /&gt;
Is it just me or do you have the same experience. xx&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>Sugar sheet movie strips with images?</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2584-sugar-sheet-movie-strips-with-images</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello everyone.  I am getting ready to try my hands at a movie reel cake with images.  Can someone tell me please how to get the images from the computer into the blank movie strips. I would like to scan them in and adjust size if possible. Only other way I can think of is to use an exacto knife and cut the individual pictures and movie strips one at a time. I worry this would not look even around the edges? Please HELP!!! All advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2580-deborah-feltham-from-brisbane-qld</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello everyone,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My name is Deborah Feltham. I love making cakes. I started making them twelve years ago to celebrate my children’s birthdays. My neighbors and friends often asked me to make cakes for their children as well.  To make it easier for people to find me, I created a &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.creativecakesdeborahfeltham.com&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; for myself online. The more photo’s I added, the more business I got. As well as repeat customers. Soon, it turned out to be a full-time business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a member of the &lt;strong&gt;Cake Decorators Association&lt;/strong&gt; and I make cakes for all kinds of occasion.&lt;br /&gt;
Whether it is your children’s birthday, your wedding or anniversary or any other occasion, I would be glad to make your special cake.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

         <title>I'm Kay I don't bake but...</title>
         <link>http://cakesdecor.com/topics/2578-i-m-kay-i-don-t-bake-but</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello!&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t bake nor cook. I am a graphic artist and a nurse, but I just discovered I could successfully make figures out of fondant or gumpaste. One day I played with it in the kitchen and did a hello kitty while Mom is away. My mom is the one who bakes by the way. When she came back, she was so amazed with my 2 inch hello kitty figure. Since then, I started making bespoke cake designs and the harder they are the more I’m inspired to start and finish them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there anyone here who also decorates cake without any knowledge on baking?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
