Wow, amazing work on the boys there! Great cake.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I can't seem to take good pics of this cake, much more impressive in person. (sigh)

[ani-mama.livejournal.com]

Most impressive! The figures turned out very nice. Are you going to eat them, or do they get to go live in the freezer with L?

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Kids said they would eat Sherlock and John, I will probably let them, I'm not sure why I still have L in freezer ...

[suddenlyflying.livejournal.com]

Wow, that looks amazing! Haha, I wouldn't have the heart to eat Sherlock and John, though. XD

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Kids have dibs on them, I don't know that I will ever take so long modeling something I can't keep again!

[mamakinn.livejournal.com]

I can't believe how good the figures are! And the cake itself looks lovely - how can you bear to eat the boys ( that isn't meant to sound as bad as it does)?

[karadin.livejournal.com]

I took a lot of pics, because each figure is modeled all the way around, with lots of little details. I wish I could have a bunch of friends over to eat it.

[b-briarwood.livejournal.com]

That is amazing! Have I ever told you how insanely jealous I am of your skills?

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I was gonna put SJ in the heart but it didn't look right!

[eclatc4t.livejournal.com]

wow! brilliant! was so waiting to see!

love the expressions, the positioning, the visual story this suggests...and the pink cake is toooooooo cute! omg look at all that detail and work.

happy birthday again.
if i could give you a gift, it would be a Creative Mind tiara.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you like! I have another cake to make in a couple of weeks, eeeeeeeeeee.

will take Tiara, thanks!

[mirien.livejournal.com]

Impressive! I think you should definitely pursue your interest in making dolls.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Yeah it would be nice to be able to save something I sculpt! ;D

[keitichan.livejournal.com]

So cool! It's way more amazing than I ever imagined.
I'd never be able to eat them, they're just too cute!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Kids and spouse already taking dibs on Sherlock, though John has peanut butter flavoring.

I'm trying to think what I'll do for Gackt's B-Day this year.

[earthspirits.livejournal.com]

WOW!!! Incredible and very beautiful work!!! And looks as yummy as I know it must be in person. Fantastic work. Literally looks too good to eat, love this! : )

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I would like to have a go at sculpting heads of John and Sherlock for BJD's, though I've not gotten into the hobby for $$$$ reasons. If someone could help me with the bodies, I could do the heads.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

I do better in Sculpy than with modeling chocolate! Modeling chocolate melts as you are touching it!

[hideincarnate.livejournal.com]

That is SIMPLY AMAZING!

Can you make my birthday cake? I'll just fly out to you for my birthday. XD;

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'd like to make you a cake, what would you want?

[hideincarnate.livejournal.com]

Awww really?! That's so hard...I mean I like X Japan, Axis Powers Hetalia is my biggest fandom at the moment...and I do like Onmyoji and Sherlock Holmes...that's so hard to choose! XD; But I'd probably have to go with Hetalia since I love it so much. XD;

Unless of course you meant the inside of the cake and then I'd have to say I really love chocolate and raspberry paired together. <3

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Which are your fave Hetalia characters?

[hideincarnate.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that's hard. I like A LOT of the characters.

But my absolute favorites are: America, Canada, France, Japan. And I guess England, but only if he gets to be all "old married couple" with France. I like Australia too. GAH THE LIST IS GETTING LONG!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

DUDE, you should do this professionally.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Ah, every time I've taken a hobby thing and made it into a job I hate it, I used to make cheesecakes and sell them, so I ended up stopping making cheesecakes for years.

[irisangel.livejournal.com]

Cute!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[bugackt.livejournal.com]

You are a woman of many talents! This is very much well-done and impressive. Congrats! (Sherlock and his friend looked like plotting something HAHA)

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! ;D

Sherlock and John are plotting how to eat cake larger than themselves.

[glitterburn.livejournal.com]

Good grief, that is truly incredible! :O Amazing, the details are amazing!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ;D

[lefcadio.livejournal.com]

Wow, your cakes are always amazing! Very impressive!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I should really make a Gackt cake on July 4th this year.

[lefcadio.livejournal.com]

...you really, really should. In fact now I kind of want to make one too! A collection of Gackt cakes :O

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I might do him as Nemuri Kyoshiro, the kimono in chocolate might be fun THANK GOD its not for months!

[rakspatel.livejournal.com]

Oh My God - Karadin - This is AMAZING!!!

I am in awe.
I bow down to your genius.
You are a God!!!

PS. I want one for my birthday!!!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! The idea, the execution of every little detail...and to top it off it's not just edible (and boy, aren't the boys just!!), it's chocolate! Good God!:)
Well done, wow!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! John's jumper and hair are peanut butter flavored, and there is a fic idea there somewhere!

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

That is spectacular.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[unovis.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! Delicious! It should be eaten, every yummy crumb.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you! I have plans for another Sherlock cake. Heh-heh.
