Past Cake Creations - Arkansas

The Arkansas cake was one I made for some contest at Lane's school. It was just a yellow sheet cake iced with buttercream I had tinted red. The white diamond is white chocolate (yum). I melted the chocolate, poured it out in a thin layer on wax paper, then cut the diamond out of it once it had hardened. The word Arkansas is chocolate. I printed out the word on my computer, covered the paper with wax paper and piped the chocolate onto the wax paper. Once the letters were set, I peeled them off and adhered to the diamond with white buttercream. The blue stars and blue border are buttercream with a LOT of blue food coloring. Finally, the white stars are white chocolate too. We took it to the contest, won something-or-another, then brought it back home. The cakes were auctioned after the contest and Lane refused to bid on any cake but his own. Sweet boy!
