Bad Bad Bad

Oeegg

I've been soooo bad at posting - can you believe it???
I'm very very very embarrassed!!

What have I done so far you may ask - well, let me show you....

I did a FarmYard cake - and would you believe it - I didn't take a picture of the completed cake. OMW!!! What I can show you is the tractor I made for the cake as well as the animals:

I also did some cupcake toppers for the Farmyard theme:


Next I did a Disney Cars themed cake. Lightning McQueen and Mater was to be 3D. I started off with some green fondant (no it's not soap - although it looks like it) left over from the day before (from the farmyard cake). I shaped it in the form of McQueen and Mater:

In process!!
After I've done the fondant 'base' I covered it with sugar paste. I like using sugar paste - it works easier for me than fondant mixed with CMC or tylose. I make my own sugar paste using Wiltons Gum-Tex and the recipe on the tin!

All that was left was to complete the cake:

My next assignment was a motorcycle cake - LOL. I can ride a motorcycle, but to make it into a cake???
To be honest - I was a bit, hmmm, apprehensive...:
What do you think?

My friend from work (ok - the old work), usually brings me second hand clothing for my daughter to wear to daycare. They get soo dirty that it's a total waste dressing them in new clothes!! So I offered to bake her a cake for her daughters birthday as 'payment':
Cow cake

My first really tiered cake was copied from a Google search pic (blush) - but, I had to get inspiration somewhere!!
Fire engine cake

Well - that's all for now...
I have some more pic, but I'll post later....too tired now. I got a 'lekker' cold from my daughter, so off to bed with me!!!
See ya!
