I have been wanting to try out some of Duff Goldman products. I just had not found a cake to work with them yet. I decided to make a cake for Jessie (my nephews girlfriend, I was told that she like animals and would love any kind of cake that I made for her. I knew then it was the perfect time to try out the Duff Tattoo's. I also wanted to try to make another Topsy Turvy cake. I knew that I was going to have to travel about two hours again; so this time I was going to assemble it at the destination.
The things I learned with this cake:
Duff tattoo's are cute, fun, and easy way to decorate a cake. On the other hand, they are not movable once they touch the cake an rip very easily. Make sure they are exactly where you want them, before attaching them to the cake.
Marshmallow Fondant does melt and it is a sticky mess when it does.
Learn the exact location of the party. This was for a family party. My sister-in-law thought that I knew the party was in the middle of the desert and that i was 100 degree out there. I though that we were going up in the mountains and that it would be in the 70's there.
Do not try assembly a Topsy Turvy cake in the middle of a desert in 100 degree weather. It will not work!
The cakes turned out cute as two separate cakes, but it would have been cuter as a whole cake. I am grateful that I brought extra decorations to able to still finish the cake, even with the circumstances. Jessica still loved the cake and that is all tat really mattered!
The picture are not the best, remember I was in the middle of the desert.
