What is the pool made of!


A lot of sugar. It's a regular chocolate cake that I made. I hollowed out the middle, decorated it, put blue jellow in the middle, and made little floating devices out of candy. The ladder to the slide is After Eight chocolate mint sticks, with the steps made out of licorice rope. It's held on with melted chocolate.
I bought everything in bulk, meaning there were many leftover ingredients for me to enjoy.

My wife made wedding cakes for my nieces a few years back. Four tiers alternating chocolate and vanilla. Each cake took a total of 20 pounds of butter! The layers sat right on each other and were heavy enough to require thick straws to support the layer. As you ate it, you could feel your arteries hardening! But it was soooooo good!

Here's a hooded sweater that my friend sewed, and I stenciled the wings on the back of it:

This is a wallet that I made out of a magazine and packing tape:

A shirt I stenciled with Edward Scissorhands on it:

A hemp and shell necklace:

That's all for now! What have you made?


Love the Edward Scissorhands. Do you sell any of your stuff?

Ah ha! Finally found those pictures of the one and only wedding cake I made. Spent quite a bit of time on it for my brother in law and his to be wife, but she didn't turn out so well, so now I definitely wish I hadn't wasted my time on it. But, it did turn out lovely.

Bottled_Rain, I sometimes sell my stuff. Usually people at school will ask me to stencil a shirt for them, or make them a necklace and I'll do it for $5-$10 depending on how long it will take me to do it.

You are a very creative person. I couldn't think up anything like those. :124:
