Teddy Bear Picnic Christening Cake

I have done two of these. One in pink earlier last year, and another recently in blue for the 5th of January. 

I like making the little bits on these cakes, the plates, the cups, the bears and the buttons. I think its the little bits that make it again the attention to detail. But can easily spend a whole day making these bits.

I would always advise these things be made in advance so they have time to set. Or even if you have time for some strange reason make them and store them for when you might need them.

Wonder Woman Cake

I know I am not the first to do this. I know I will not be the last. But I really enjoyed this cake!

The cake is Chocolate and is a 7 inch and a 4 inch. Everything is hand made, these days I am trying to put more focus on the figures and the face. The level of detail I put in seems to pay off when putting the whole thing together.

 The Wonder Woman Logo is hand cut on both the main cake and the figure. I know the cake is rather simple but I think the figure makes it!

 I love making cakes like this.

Angry Birds Cake

I enjoyed this cake, mainly because of the time I had free to do the details on the figures and the fact that there are so many of them.

I always try to get things as close as I can to how they should really be and in this case I was very pleased with the results!

Christening Cake, Carousel Cake

I now give you a tiered cake that was not for a wedding, but for a little boys christening. This cake consisted of 3 tiers. The base although it looks like two cakes, is in fact only one. It is a slightly smaller cake on the top to create the stepping up.

The base is a 9 inch and an 8 inch on that, then the centre pole of the carousel is also cake, 4 inch to be exact, then the roof is an 8 inch cake carved like a dome. There are plastic rods all through the different sections of the cake to create a structure that is more sound than cake usually is. 

The four horses are all handmade, from fondant icing with a hardening agent added to it to make it more solid. They took about 2 days to make due to the drying time and the amount of detail. The hardest part was putting it all together, the boarder around the top of the cake was a pain I will not deny it. But the finished product was well received and I must admit I was proud of it.

 Oooooh the horses!
