Hello Melba

I think I should be called hello Melba for my tolerance to the cat that I have become accustomed to making over the last few months. Having never made a big 3d figure before I watched numerous episodes of cake boss to get tips.

Hello one....



Then there was the second one...



Which then I had to make the third one for my daughter...



Then a friend's friend saw my picture and had to have one for her daughter...



Did I tell you how much am starting to loathe this pussy cat....especially when my soon to be 2 year old tells me she wants a kitty cat. Arrgggh

All of them had a whiskas issue till the last one I did. It made me happy.....watch this space for kitty number 5!

Little princess


I made my first crown this weekend which I must admit was a challenge. I am however converted to using gumpaste a type of material that I mixed with fondant which helped the stars and hearts stay on the crown. My good friend helped me with the design and helped me with all the finishing touches. I also used lustre dust for the first time and think that it will take some getting used to using.
I must admit am getting sick of making pink cakes and hope someone asks me for another colour soon. I was really pleased with the outcome as i become more confident with the material. Am hoping that someone buys me new letters for my birthday so they look a bit more professional!
