Just wanted to tell those, who care, how my cake turned out.
I was building the cake in three stages.
1. The MAIN CAKE - That was the Bush bet.
2. The icing - the props (state by state)
3. And of course the candles - Electoral vote spread.
Three teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon
The Main cake turned out beautiful, and after purchasing a bit more dough yesterday at a discount, it rose very high and wide while baking last night. It came out of the oven this morning and it was perfect. About 3 Tablespoons of dough was eventually used up. Once the icing was ready - I had to spread it thin on this cake as the cake was bigger and my icing came out in about the original quantity that I started with (1/4 teaspoon). I stuck 1/8 of a teaspoon of melted wax into the mold and the mold exploded. So here I sit with a big cake spread thin and no candles. I enjoyed the bake off very much.
WE KEPT THE COWBOY - I feel really good about the future of America and the future of the rest of the world!
