MN Cake

By -
This is my Minnesota cake. I've got a friend that currently lives in Texas, but used to live in MN. He came up recently and so I thought I would surprise him with a MN cake. I was making it in the kitchen and would not let him see what I was doing until it was finished! I had Jeff distract him for a while. The picture to the right is before it was frosted.

 
This is Brad with his cake!

Our church had a Cana Dinner event and they had a Renaissance theme. I thought a castle would be neat to make.   The first thing I worked on was the tops of the towers. I tinted some white fondant with purple food coloring and rolled it out. Then cut out a shape to place over some cones. There were 12 of them!!! Of course it would be cool to have flags on the tops of them. I made different sizes that corresponded to the different sizes of the cones. I attached them white white fondant. I baked 6" and 10" cakes, and dirty iced them. Then I had my strong handsome husband :) roll out the white fondant for them. Might as well put him to good use.

I pressed the ...

Also went to the school that is attached. Also got married in the church!  It is so beautiful inside. Take a look.  This picture is from our wedding in 2012. This is the inspiration for the cake here. I studied this photo for quite a while... For the cake, I decided to go big and try something I hadn't before. I wanted to make a cake with a little extra on top of it. I made my own sculpted crisp rice cereal treats! I made sure to do a practice round first, just to make sure it was doable. Can you tell what I was going to make?!! Yep, the steeple can be seen from various points in Delano. Here is a rough draft of the design of the cake, probably my third one or so. I really wanted to incorporate the gold color of the cross on top, and the green of the "onion" as my mom calls ...

Dirty iced cakes Top of cake, homemade frosting roses, with a cross that will be on top of my sister's wedding cake. My huge cake I added leaves The finished product. I used a satin ribbon on the bottom for an added simple decoration.
