New Year's Eve cake

 Gold & black cake, for a more festive look, so that it would rise up to the special day New Year's Eve is.

The bottom tier was a huge 25 cm tier. I always liked this type of cakes and I have been wanting to try one for ever now. Love how it looks but to cover such a tall cake in fondant without any tears and bumps is a very difficult task. How others do it, is still a mystery  to me. I tried several times to give it a smooth finish, but I was not able to. In the end I chose the best side as the front, and all those black swirls and things are put to cover all the imperfections.

    @ just me - la multi ani si tie! multumesc mult. pusi

    @ anca - multumesc mult. sanatate multa si tie si un an nou plin de torturi.

    @ cccris - eu acum dupa ce am incercat odata sa fac asta cred ca totul e in fondant. noi facem retete de casa, care nu au elasticitatea fondantului wilton nici pe departe.problema mea a fost ca pe masura ce incercam sa aranjez pasta pe tort se tot rupea; tortul fiind inalt si pasta atarna si se rupea singura oricat d e repede ma miscam. tin minte la inceputurile mele cand lucram cu fondant wilton cat de bun era,eu cred ca daca l-as fi acoperit si pe acesta cu asa fondant nu as fi avut nici pe departe problemele astea.

    @ torturile danielei - multumesc. da am pictat pasta.

    @ bianca - multumesc. pune si mai mult colorant:))))

    The cake turn out great. It is true, to cover that type of cake in fondant is hard, you might have to use a lot of shortening as you are covering the cake. Did you air brush the cake or you hand painted it?

    @ Pink little cake - I sponged it. I do not have an air brushing unit so I did it by hand with a little sponge.

    sigur fondantul lor are cu totul alta elasticitate, al nostru se si usuca repede, alta mincare de peste

    @ carmen - eu calculez tortul si portia. deci al 3 etaje 3 portii. pentru ca oricum mai folosesti din ce raamne pentru bentite sau alte chestii. deci 3. dar acum ramane de vazut daca portia mea e egala cu a ta:)))) cat foloseai tu la un tort normal si o faci de 3 ori. mai bine sa ramana decat sa nu ajunga.
