Description This is a cake I made for my friend's wedding last summer. Starting at the bottom, and going up each layer, is the entire first level of the first game, ending at the flag and castle up top!

Turns out, a 4 layer, unsupported, fondant covered cake can stay upright in a 90 degree room for at LEAST 7 hours It was a bit lopsided to begin with, and after about hour 2 it started leaning even more, but it made it the whole night and still tasted fantastic. Not too bad, for someone that hasn't touched fondant since high school, and drove it two hours to the reception hall. THAT was... fun. *twitch*

Holy crap, this is freaking awesome. That is some talent, right there.

Tell me you own a cake shop or something.

I wish! I just used box cake mixes and the big pans, and sort of remembered what I learned way back in vocational high school. After I sketched out the whole level on papers I wrapped around the pans, it took about 1 week to make, including dyeing the fondant and practicing all the little bits on it. Started baking 3 days before the wedding and barely slept the night before xD But it was done!

Top to bottom: strawberry, chocolate, butter almond, and vanilla, and some of the fondant was flavored with butter flavoring by Wilton. I'm glad I didn't flavor it all though, because it made it very soft and the cake would have just fallen apart in that heat!

that sounds good but butter almond sounds really good where they home made cakes or mixes? if home made you should list the butter almond recipe
