[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Wow, congratulations! It's gorgeous!

8 years in a row??? Wow. That record will be hard to beat!

[msongs]

3. is it edible? nt

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Penguins, water, and icing are. It's made for display, so on a Styrofoam base.

7. Penguins...

Modeling chocolate or fondant? Chocolate, I’m leaving now to get a couple.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Mine are fondant with a little tylose powder that makes it harden

faster when modeled. Chocolate can't take the high temperatures at our un-air conditioned fair buildings.

10. Thx...

Darn, needed me some chocolate.

25. You're the first American I've encountered who

used the term "icing" instead of "frosting"! We Canucks use the icing term, and in the case of this magnificent themed cake, "icing" is indeed the correct term! Congratulations!

[Lucky Luciano]

28. From nyc. I always say icing.

34. Must be a northern thing!

[Tess49]

37. Not really a northern thing. I'm from Okla. Icing is commonly used here. n/t

29. Its probably due to how many people these days buy store bought "frosting" rather than

make it themselves at home which (even though I am a guy) is not all that hard to do plus in my opinion homemade tastes alot better than any store bought product for finishing a cake.
Not that I bake much anymore, in fact its been 4+ years since I last made anything homemade as the joy kind of went out of it after my mother passed.

33. At least when we make it ourselves,

we know what's in it!

[MLAA]

4. Marvelous! Love those penguins.

6. Photos not bad at all...

At least it allows your friends here to view a beautiful creation. Great work!

I know it’s work cuz my dear wife is a baker and I a trained cook. Baking is hard work and awesome inspiration but messy as heck flour all over sugar running rampant. I never have enuf butter, but gosh those last ten pounds didn’t come from my cooking.

Looks delicious. Penguins are one of my grandsons latest obsessions.
