Welp, I just finished the Mater Cake and I'm reporting back like I said I would earlier today. It's not as beautiful as Bakerella's, but I'm happy with it.

Mine:
I tried to follow the ingredient list and instructions as closely as I possibly could. I couldn't find the mini grasshopper cookies, so I just went with full size and cut them down with a paring knife. The cut edges looked kinda bad on the tires so I added splotchy chocolate frosting on the tires to look like mud and that helped. I'm still not very good at spreading the frosting smoothly, but I'm learning.
So...it's not beautiful, but Dad will get a kick out of it anyway. I'll give it a Level 1 on the GCT Fail Scale.
The nice thing about Mater is he is imperfect. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt would be much harder to make a lightening McQueen, for instance.
he looks great!! awesome job!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Marquette! Dad will love it! A tip to help smooth frosting is to dip your knife in hot water and let the hot knife kinda melt the frosting as you smooth it over.
ReplyDeleteI like him!
ReplyDeleteI think this looks BETTER than the pinspiration!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThose are cookies? I thought they were sweet sixteen mini donuts.
ReplyDeleteI have a request from my nephew for a Mater cake for his Birthday, thanks for the idea! I think I'll use mini Oreo's though as they're easier to find and they look like tires too. Maybe dip them in some melted chocolate chips? I'm not much of a cake decorator, so I'll probably wind up with a pinstrosity! lol
ReplyDeleteI think he looks just as good as the original. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think yours looks great
ReplyDeleteagreed! I think you did a fabulous job! I can't really see much of a difference between the two. You should be proud, its a pin win!
