My Grandson's iFLY Birthday Cake 2012
All the lift for this chiffon cake depends soley with the well beaten meringue.
The real challenge is to assemble all this in the back of my Prius at 90'F outside temp and take it into Fudruckers where the party was going on. It got done, though.
It was a difficult decision as to how to elevate the fondant figurines to give that floating effect. Maybe the white frosting or the blue frosting would be better? naaa,,,, it worked.
Seven cones to represent seven candles.
I really had fun making it.
