Painted Cakes...?

I recently came across a website that featured painted cakes...I was intrigued by the idea. I love being creative with my food, I am also a painter so of course I had to make one! This is the very first, I basically used Fondant to cover the cake and painted with a mixture of Vodka and Gel food coloring...the vodka helps it dry quickly so it doesn't run all over your cake. The top is rice crispy treat molded and covered as well with Fondant.

These cakes make a great gift for someones birthday or any celebration...I gave this cake to a friend with the cake stand for her birthday. On top of being a food lover/painter, I also LOVE to shop..especially for kitchen items and serving dishes! So I have become the ultimate bargain shopper and have found some great pieces for very low prices...so now when I see great pieces like this cake stand, I store them for situations like this!
