This is the cake I made for my niece for her fifth birthday. It's a 25 centimeter high red velvet ombre cake filled with whipped cream and homemade plum jam. I don't know if you can really get a good sense of the scale from those pictures, but each layer is the size of a regular cake. Considering there were only like 12 kids at the party, I may have gone a little overboard.
I seriously love making cakes. I would make them all the time, but I don't really have anyone to give them to- it's one thing handing out some excess cupcakes or cookies; but giving someone an entire cake for no good reason is a little intense.
Aside from not wanting to be some kind of creepy cake peddler, the only other thing standing between me and my own spinoff of Cake Boss is the fact that I refuse to work with fondant. I hate the stuff. It tastes like crap, and it's CHEATING. You can make any shape with fondant so easily, it takes away all the skill. I feel the same way about fondant as Hayao Miyazaki feels about Pixar.
