Dave and Mica's Wedding Present

So here's the post for the ceramic piece that got this whole thing started in the first place. My buddy, Dave Tan, is an amazing cook and baker, with his specialty being cakes. Instead of going out an buying a wedding present, I decided to make a cake dish for Dave and Mica. On the day of the wedding, I was so proud of the piece I had made, I kept telling my friends about it, but since it was wrapped, I couldn't show anyone. When I started this blog, I didn't know if the gift had been opened yet, so I decided to wait until I received a thank you note. That note arrived sometime last month, so I've come to the conclusion that I've waited long enough. Below are a couple of pictures of this famous piece.

There are three parts to this piece, the main plate, the cover, and the stand. Each was thrown separately in B-mix and the stand was attached to the plate in the leather-hard state. The glaze is navy blue with glossy white sprayed over. There is a grove cut into the plate where the lid fits on. The stand is a funny size, made for a six inch cake. I wanted to make it for an eight inch cake, but the bat I used for the plate was too small. Hopefully, Dave and Mica can get themselves a six inch cake pan. I am very proud of this piece and would call it one of my better works.

Dave and Mica - If you take a careful look on the inside of the stand, you can see my name written on it. Proof that this one is a genuine Michelle-made product :-D
