Visual Oxymoron
Why do I have this strange urge at the moment to make a fondant covered sheetcake shaped like a SCALE (and with the numbers reading my highest "before" weight?)
LOL...something like this:

in POUND CAKE, of course! LOL!
later edit: Tattoo Cake is baked (devil's food chocolate); first bit of icing and decorating done; in the freezer overnight to finish tomorrow morning.
This is my first attempt on what is called a Frozen Buttercream Transfer, a method of transferring designs to a frosted cake. It's kind of like making a buttercream "plaque" to apply to the cake. Think of a coloring book page in frosting, the drawing outlined and filled. I'm sure this one is going to look kind of clunky, as a first attempt--and because my apartment was humid and I didn't get the frosting quite the right consistency. Crossing my fingers that when I turn it over on the cake tomorrow, it doesn't look too bad....
My design is of a traditional tattoo style flash rose and banner, to be placed on a frosted heartshaped cake. Classic, huh? The banner will say "Blue Rose" and the flower is of course blue as well.
And, while I did have a couple of tastes--NO BAKER'S BINGES! :)
