Following on from the hilarious is my hedgehog fucked thread, I thought I'd pick up my tools and make another cake. Specifically for BIL's big 30th birthday party.

Be honest, is there any saving this? Or am I destined to a life where people point at me in the street and laugh? Wink

Have you seen the trailer for the latest Bake Off OP?

I think they've used your hedgehog for inspiration Grin

Well you’re on the talk round up email so clearly you’ve made it now Crystal.

“Aren’t you a little short for a storm trooper?”

“I’ve been ill.”

Is it just my filthy imagination, or is it wearing girlie suspenders around it's head (we've all done that).

CrystalMethHog · 05/08/2018 19:47

I'm on the round up! I've never won anything before. What do I get? I medal? A cookie?

Update- cakes are being baked tomorrow. Icing takes place on Thursday.

Be there or be square 😉

Is anyone on this thread a cake maker? I need some advice and YouTube is a bit bollocks

I've been known to play with fondant MethHog - what's your trouble?

PetraBstoke · 06/08/2018 11:17

Thanks LeighaJ for your phrase last night I had a dream with a white feckin Frankenstein.

CrystalMethHog · 06/08/2018 15:15

See, my cake is in the subconscious of the people now 

@VforVienetta if I make the whole thing, fondant an all, can I freeze it?

I've frozen bought birthday cake and it was okay. We can make a frozen Frozen cake 😂 last months in this house!

VforVienetta · 06/08/2018 18:25

I think so, but you’d need to be wary of it sweating as it defrosted. Do you have a dehumidifier? If you do freeze it, I’d move it to the fridge first, then freeze, then defrost via fridge then next to dehumidifier when it’s out.
A Pokemon cake I did last year was v v sweaty after just a night in the fridge, as i took it straight from fridge to party.
It’ll def need time to adjust to temperature.

VforVienetta · 06/08/2018 18:28

Charmander ‘glowing’.... It did dry off after a couple of hours, but I imagine frozen fondant would have the same issue.

Ooh looking good so far!

babyboyHarrison · 09/08/2018 07:44

Making me smile as my kitchen is looking similar. 3 year olds birthday party on Saturday so cakes have been baked ready for carving. Attempting to make bear from 'Marsha and Bear'. Fingers crossed it turns out ok as with 30 people arriving on Saturday to our house won't have time to re-bake if it goes wrong and still sort out the house (and work!).
