cake

My neice's birthday is comming up, and for the past couple of years ive been making her cakes. This year she didnt give me anthing to go off of on how she wanted it other than she wants one vanilla with a purple rose on top and one small chololate one that she can throw in her dads face (hes ok with that, so i guess that she gets to do it as a reward for getting straigs A's or something). so i have been web searching and ive decided im going to surprize her with the greatest cake i may ever make in my entire life: a carasal (or merry go round). it wont be as nice as some ive seen pics of, but it will be simple and a delight to the kids.

ive been baking for about 3 hours now and ive got 3 8 in cakes and 1 6 in done... this is turning out to be a bigger project than expected- im having a lot more complications than expected. the cakes for some reason took twice as long to bake; when i took them out of the pans (yes i properly cooled them) the bottoms were falling off or cracking; i dont know where any of my tools are for decorating; the store doesnt seem to sell horse shaped cookie cutters- i still have to make the blasted cookies; i have to make frosting bc the store bought doent hold up; i have to learn how to make fondant- other wise its 18$ down the drain. i need cornstarch. and for heavens sake, the glad seal plastic wrap is CRAP!!! yeah, it may work for somethings but mom, seriousely never buy it again. you cant wrap a cake in it worth crap. now im worried that the cakes are going to spoil quicker than anticipated. plus, your freezer is too full of fish and tasteless food. i come over here and its like im at julies- everything looks and tates like cardboard other than the fish- which i detest. and im not going to cook chicken- i dont like chicken.
Anyway, so after than, im going to stack two cakes on eachother, frost them as a base, cover them in fondant, decorate them, then do the same to one that will be the top tier, bake some cookies as horses, decorate them, find a stable cup, fondant then decorate it, search for the lazy susan, glue some sticks to it with frosting, glue the horses to the sticks, put the lazy susan on the bottom tiers and then put the top tier on the cup and wala! you got a spinable working carosel (insert circus music here). man i feel like once i make a moving cake ppl are going to ask me to make them all the time. lol, im not Duff from Ace of Cakes; but im going to try the best i can tomake my little neices day special :)
