My heart skipped a beat when I saw there's a competition at Cakesdecor.com for Monochrome/Black and White Cake. This is pretty much how I dress everyday, black and some white, more blacks, and occasionally gray color. I don't know what it is, but I am very attracted to black.
I decided to go with very simple design, in a small time frame. I literally submitted it, just a day before it ended for entries.
White anemones with black center was a no-brainer choice for my design. I followed Nicholas Lodge's craftsy class for the instructions, using JEM cutters. I also used Natasha Shomali's anemone tutorial on Cakesdecor.com
I was very happy with how it turned out... It really well-represented me.
I received very positive feedback from the Cakesdecor.com community and a couple lovely surprises as well: I made it to the Daily Top 3 cake and Editor's Choice.
Thank you to all my cake friends, this cake ranked 5th in the competition out of 180+ entries. I am very honored to have placed fifth among so many talented cake friends out there.
Here are the pictures and details, and my shiny "badges"
