You put a shell border an inch or so away from the edge and then pour on some melted caramel to drip down the sides. It looks like someone (either the decorator or the customer) got a little caramel happy and decided to top the entire cake with it.<BR/><BR/>Ew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-71388181671707166652008-09-04T08:27:00.000-04:002008-09-04T08:27:00.000-04:00My name is spelt Clare. :( I live in Australia.. m...My name is spelt Clare. :( I live in Australia.. my background is Scottish, but I don't think that had anything to do with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-61391210206044115042008-08-26T12:09:00.000-04:002008-08-26T12:09:00.000-04:00My best guess is that the icing is supposed to be ...My best guess is that the icing is supposed to be coffee and that they spelled latte wrong.....at least they tried....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-16916017967061246792008-08-21T12:30:00.000-04:002008-08-21T12:30:00.000-04:00Did no one notice the accent mark over the "a" in ...Did no one notice the accent mark over the "a" in Late.
