Alabama Cake

Alabama cake would have been so easy if I had not had the mess up with Vic and the oven. Remade big Al and the emblem while making the other Alabama cake. Finished them both up and now I am exhausted. Poor Larry's cake Just had to get thrown together. Let my daughter do the polka dots and made a fast little big AL face for the middle............hey its for free how can he complain. He will be thankful he got a cake.

It is now 3:27 p.m. I am finished with the Alabama Grooms cake. Grooms initial is the center piece with Big Al being the groom on this cake. I started as soon as I got back from taking the kids to school. So, I am thinking This one took me about 7 hours with maybe 30 min sit down breaks here and there. I did put the hounds tooth print on top. Cutting each print out by hand. That was my most time consuming part. Oh' and lets not forget I made the elephants and all other little add on's out of gum paste about a week ago. This cake in total has about 10 hours of work put into it. To find out The S was backwards and everything had to be turned around .........I am tired and exhausted and still have the big grand daddy of a bride cake to go.....Hoping I can hold out till the end and make it great. OH' dear lord be with me for the next 7 hours or more.
