Cake vs. Kim...30-Love

I was just about tapped out when it came to this cake, which made me feel really bad since this person had booked so far in advance.

But it all came together at the end.


The things I find in my stash amaze even me sometimes. Tennis ball shaped bubble gum!! Plastic knights for a graduate who's mascot is a Barron (represented by a knight on all their logo-ed items)!! I feel like Marry Poppins sometimes.

That tennis net was a stumper for a long time. A lattice was going to be too unstable and take a tremendous amount of time to create, a royal icing net, also the same stability issues. So, I sat down one night and poked about 500 holes out of a sheet of gum paste with a straw, and it dried to just the right hardness.

Any guesses as to what those posts that are holding up the net are made from?*
Set and match.

Oy, that net looks really crooked in this shot.


*They were Lik-a-Maid sticks that I had...in my stash!!!
