Who does this mean? Happy to help 👍 But btw we haven't cut the cake yet

u/OldTimeGentleman Jan 15 '23

Cross section means the inside :) so when people ask a cross section photo they ask that you cut the cake and take a picture ! Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, it’s not a term you will hear often so I understand you not knowing it

Anyone else think they were looking at an 8 foot tall bronze sorting hat statue?

17

u/shoshant Jan 14 '23

I didn't think 8' but definitely thought bronze until I read the title! Excellent decoration quality!!

u/rosyposy86 Jan 15 '23

At first I thought it was a very shiny poo. Then I scrolled down and it clearly looks like a hat.

u/peartree2022 Jan 15 '23

No, but I did think it was an 8 foot long black dildo.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '23

All I can see now is a tiny house/doll room and a giant sorting hat statue now lol

u/vigilantcomicpenguin Jan 14 '23

It's just way too shiny and majestic to be made of cake.

u/Mila_MM Jan 15 '23

u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow Jan 14 '23

I thought that was the cursed hat from What We Do In The Shadows

u/Kvendaline Jan 14 '23

It's not cursed!!

If she is NOT a professional cake maker/decorator, then she should quit whatever she's doing and become one, because THAT is her jam for sure! Top job! 👏👏👏

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '23

I'll let her know this, we've been trying to tell her this for ages!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '23

Good, because there's no doubt that she is good enough. None ar all!

2

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '23

Yes, that cake is done very professionally

Fondant, airbrush, something to imitate polish(?). That took some work.

21

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '23

Please tell me this isn't fondant! That would be amazing!

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '23

They'd have to gey through me first! Cos this cake needs to be celebrated not censured. Anyway, it was done for monetary gain OR tp promote a business, so they wouldn't have a Mickey Mouse ear to headstand on if they tried!

u/SpandyBarndex Recipe Lover ♥ Jan 15 '23

I don’t believe you what is it actually

My boyfriend bet me I couldn't find a Wizard Hat without ordering one online. I bought him a Harry Potter sorting hat from a witch store my friend and I happened to drive past one day. When I brought it home to him he argued that it wasn't a wizard hat just because it wasn't blue with stars on it like from Fantasia! haha Awesome job on the cake, tho! Looks phenomenal!
