Peppa Pig Cake2

My second Peppa Pig Cake! I was much happier with Peppa and George on this cake, I used Pastiche which I found in a great cake shop in Nottingham and it handled much better than the fondant and tylose I had used for my previous models, although it is a lot more expensive. I got the idea from one of Esme's book as the house on the hill is a common scene throughout. The puddle is chocolate silk so really yummy mud! This is the only cake I have ever let Esme help me bake...... and it is the only time this particular recipe has ever sank in the middle - really sank!! thankfully the cut offs from the house filled the hole nicely and it still tasted great - managed to get a piece of this one!

Bouquet Cake

I made this Bouquet cake as a thank you present for one of the lovely ladies at my daughter's nursery.  It is based around a 6" sponge cut into 3 layers and filled with buttercream and jam. Looking at it now, I'm pretty sure I could have done better with the leaves and the bow but was in a bit of a rush!!

Rubber Duck Cake

This is my daughter's 3rd Birthday cake that she took to nursery on the day. The Rubber duck is all fondant and I made the bath from madiera sponge baked in a loaf tin. For the water in the bath I used two shades of metallic petal dust. It went down well and was fairly easy and quick to make.
