A challenge to Baroness von Shush!

[Golden]

Baroness,

For far too long I have been in your shadow! I have slaved for hours, days, even weeks to uphold my great name in the baking world. Yes, it is true, I turned down lucrative contracts on "Cake Boss" to pursue the fine-art of the perfect bake. Baroness, its time for me to reclaim the crown that is rightfully mine. There can be only one Cake Boss here, so step forward, take up the challenge.....show us your best work.

The masterpiece: A finely crafted buttercake in celebration of my 120th 12th wedding anniversary. Allow me to draw your attention to the finesse with which the lightpink (RGB 255 174 185) butter icing is applied to the sofly textured sponge base. Take note of the beautifully textured ridge icing, specially mixed to achieve that unusual, yet strangely pleasing, bruised-eye plum coloured appearance. This work of art is accentuated by the postbox pillar-red heart, drawn completely free-hand, with love and affection. Finally, the presentation is completed with classic blue print marking this disasterous wonderous occasion (note the finger-smudge for that authentic just-baked feel).

Bet that will hold you for 12 more years

Aha, a man who wishes to challenge my expert cake making abilities, well I take the challenge and will somewhat raise the bar. You see I too have been holding out on you, yes I can reproduce TV characters and embellish a cake with the fine art of sugar craft flowers, however, you have yet to see my masterpiece.
Only a specially hand-picked few have ever been privy to what can only be described as my one off masterpiece. I was astounded by the level of detail and the intricate carving upon the body and the fabulous sculpting that I managed to create. Thus astounding myself with the facial detail and superb, yet moving facial structure!
Now that you have questioned my abilities I feel that now the time is right…. I must unleash on the world my most magnificent creation to date, this being RED TED….
Now before I unveil him I have to advise that he is strictly one of a kind. I think you will concur that I will rightfully have my crown once more when you are privy to my artistic nature with modelling, I think you will agree that nobody would ever be able to beat such level of talent and utmost brilliance for which I have created, and I would like to confirm that this has got to be the best piece I have ever made.
Therefore, without further ado I give you RED Ted ………

Oh, that hurts........

 

[Golden]

Baroness,

Its a good effort, but...........who shot RED TED in the stomach? Do I hear a surge of agreement from the forum members that you should be disqualified for inflicting this pain on him? Afterall, he doesn't have a very happy face

 

[M1GU31]

good looking bear cake

 

[stevieray]

Golden, your cake is a folk art masterpiece! Unsullied by the rigid, formal strictures of classical design and color theory. You win... hands down. Besides... that bear has freaky eyes. Kinda scary... :shock:

 

[Golden]

Unsullied by the rigid, formal strictures of classical design and color theory. You win... hands down.

Aha! A connoisseur recognizes my genius! Baroness, the end is nigh............

 

[Hopalong X]

Get that poor bear some sunscreen.
PETA is watching.

Kim Jong will think he is BBQ. :shock:

He's not shot..... that's art in it's purist form....with an untrained eye you completely miss the astounding beauty of my creation. What you perceive as a shot mark is in fact his inner glow, see this is why he has been hidden for all this time because my dear patrons you are simply not ready for my brilliance and my captivating exuberance.

Sad but true.....

Golden if you wish to raise the stakes then I propose the following.....

I suggest that we pose the question and let our wonderful SF members cast their votes on who should rightfully be crowned top dog....I'm assuming that me being married to z3r010 will have no influence whatsoever oh and it is my birthday very soon but don't worry I'm sure I will be seizing sorry securing my crown and will be restored to my throne once more.....

....let the battle commence!


I await your response....

[Baroness von Shush]

[Golden]

OK. Fighting talk....Zero, can you add a poll to this? The cake Boss is ready to take his place in history..........

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Are we going to have to make another badge for Cake Master of the Month like we do for the new arriving Gold Members?
Neither one of these pass my "Great Looking Cake" test. IMHO
