Trying to make cake toppers for my dd Snow White birthday cake. If it was just at my home I wouldn’t care how bad they are but we’re going to a restaurant with a load of friends and I am a bit self conscious about this cake and everyone else seeing it and secretly laughing at it.

i feel like these are horrendous and thinking of just giving up and going Tesco ha! Pls tell me the truth should I give up while I’m ahead?!

Oh my, am I having a giggle this morning. Made Dopey a new head. Then thought you know, what I’m gonna give Grumpy another go. But Grumpy now looks like he’s been stung by a bee in the face. I have no idea how I managed to make such a massive grumpy head 🤣 not making another though.

Birthday not for a couple of weeks. Praying these survive.

Had to get in early as so many to make but it’s fine, you’ve all heard of Snow White and the two dwarves right??
In my head I was going to sit down with some wine and they’d all magically appear with my magic icing fingers. Obviously didn’t have enough wine…

Goodness me those are 10000x better! Did you get stung by a baking bee 🐝 which gave you incredible modelling powers. 😅

Oh my god they are amazing. I think Grumpy looks like it was made by Disney. Dopey's face, he looks like he has cleaned up his act and off the crack. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳.
No one will be laughing now. You'll have a queue of people wanting you to make their cake

taylorswift1989 · 02/05/2024 10:35

Those are amazing! I was impressed before, but now I'm blown away! They look so professional. Just shows it's sometimes worth doing a second draft! Looking forward to seeing the rest of them.

Not to pull rank here but some of us are refreshing this thread A Lot for the update pics... also OP your cake toppers are charming and full of personality.

We got one a chocolate buttons hedgehog year in, year out, cos it was the only one our mum could do had convinced us we were really into hedgehogs.

I love your Mum!!

I love both attempts

Amx · 02/05/2024 22:13

They look amazing. First Dopey looked like he was selling the Big Issue but these are perfect.
