Our Take...

Ever since Elijah saw Kelli's cake she made of Wall E, he has talked about nothing else. Since Kelli was kind enough to share how to make it, we decided to try. {try being the operative word}
Now, just because we've never used fondant in any shape or form before, doesn't mean I don't think I know how to use it. I mean, whatever, I watch Ace of Cakes and Food Network Cake Challenges. Kind of like Core's camera, just put it in my hands and let the magic begin. 
So... while our first attempt may not land us on the Food Network quite yet {more like Cake Wrecks} I think we have a promising future making 2 dimensional, lookslikeitwashitbyabus Wall E's, don't you? 

Don't worry. We waited until we'd been on antibiotics for 36 hours before beginning this creation. Strep throat...be gone with you! 
Now? Someone's hubby went out golfing, and left his Canon 5D sitting on my dresser again, both boys are sleeping...hmmm...
Now, someone know how to switch lenses?

Too cute, I have never tried fondant either.

Pam said...

At least YOU know what Wall*E looks like. Me? No clue. Good job on the cake!

Hey, I pulled up my blog with "no problemo" (I'm still stuck in Cinco de Mayo party mode from our belated fiesta last night. Boy, do I ever wish you lived here. You would've been so much fun to have at the party!) Don't know what's up on your end. Let me know if you keep having issues. Hopefully, it was just a fluke.

Later! I've got to go be a Rock Star just like you and reheat dinner ;-)

I've been wanting to work with fondant for awhile now, but it intimidates me. Perhaps you've inspired me to try. :)

Thanks for the mention in your last post, by the way! I'm glad you enjoyed the songs.

I've never worked with fondant. But I think you did a good job. Better than most of us could ever do.

Foursons said...

Ha ha- I never noticed your little line up there about reading your blog instead of cooking. I guess I rock!

Wall-E looks great, I totally would have known who he was if you hadn't told me first.

I would love to get your educator opinion on a post I wrote about redshirting kindergarteners.

Strep throat be gone is the motto in my house too. I've been on antibiotics for 7 days now and feel wonderful!!

I love the cake, it is adorable, hit by a bus or not, Wall E is super cute!

Oh my gosh! This is so cool! I think you did a great job! But really, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it's cake!

Spatula hands. Love it. I'm just kidding. Geesh. You two did a wonderful job.

Switching lenses is easy peasy. You can do it. And he may never know as long as you don't forget to switch them back!

Great job! I am to much of a chicken to try fondant. I also love Ace of Cakes! I would love for them to do a birthday cake for us minus all the cost involved. Can't wait to see you on food network!
Have a blessed Sunday!

It's cute. I'm with you I always think it's really easy. I tried making a Rolie Polie Olie cake for my daughters adoption day party. Ha. Yah.

I would love to take a cake decorating class actually.

Kelli said...

That is cute! And seriously, a great job for your first go round with fondant! It looks like you guys managed to get the fondant pretty smooth.
Tell Elijah that I totally approve!

Unknown said...

Okay BF, I thought you didn't cook!

Cause you totally rocked with the Wall*E cake. If I wasn't such a slacker, I'd try to make one myself!

Ashley @ {Let Go, Laughing} said...

It came out so cute! I saw your comment on Kelli's post and I was wondering if you were gonna post a picture of it on your blog!

I love it!
