Oh. My. Goodness. Gracious!

My aunt Joy, who is more like my cousin since we are only 5 years apart ---and who I get to see on 4th of July and I am so stinking excited for that family reunion I can hardly stand it ----sent me this PICTURE!

I am FLABBERGASTED – jaw-dropping-drooling-stupid --- over this CAKE!

Yes. A CAKE.

((The hamster is NOT the picture of the cake...I just liked its sweet face!))

If you received a cake like this, could you even bear to cut into it?

Which piece would you want first……

“I’d like a piece of that hand wheel right there, and maybe just a bit of the needle bar, please!”

Hehehehe

This is just beautiful -----

Wouldn’t you just love to see how a cake like this came to be? Every little detail – the sewing box, the fondant scissors and spools of thread..the way that fondant fabric is draped underneath the presser foot – the HAND CRANK!

Every time I look at this I see something new…….

Nope. I couldn’t cut into it. I’d probably have to have it dunked in resin to keep it forever as it is ----

  2. That is the most incredible looking cake that I have seen. How did they do the gold scrolls to look so real? Even the scissors, just amazing!

  3. I've seen a modern sewing machine made by a company in Houston. It might have been one of the places that has a cable TV show. I got a bite of the base and it was delicious!

    That cake is amazing! I have seen it before online. There is a website that has many more pics of amazing cakes. No way I could bear to cut into it...that would mean I could afford to buy it! :)

  18. Duh! I just kept looking at the hamster and saying " that's not a cake, no way..." I even enlarged it on my iPad to look closer. And then decided I' d better keep reading. Ha! I' m one to gloss over instructions too. The cake is amazing. Oh and the hamster is really cute!

    That cake is lovely. My friend made one like that for her aunt's 50th birthday, but the sewing machine was not quite as ornate.

  20. I've got a friend in Van, TX that makes cakes like this - they are awesome. Think she was trying to open her own specialty cake shop instead of making them in her home. I do good to do a PLAIN frosted layer cake!!!!!!! LOL
