to shamelessly show off the cake I've just made?

[Greensleeves]

Made for my ds1's girlfriend, to a set of insanely specific specifications from perfectionist Aspie ds1! Includes a miniature of her house from a blurry photo

Now to work out how to transport it 20 miles on the train and up the hill to her house...

That's one of the nicest cakes I've ever seen.

That cake is simply adorable! You are very talented!

Love it! Well done!

oh wow that's so lovely!

That is SO GOOD

That's amazing! Hope she loves it. :)

That's gorgeous. As for transport, if you go with the bucket/deep cake box idea, assuming the lid is flat then put the cake on the inside of the lid with the bucket/box fastened over the top to protect it, and hold it underneath. Then when you get there you can just lift the box off and you don't risk damaging the cake trying to lift it out of a deep container.

Stunning !!!

That is bloody amazing OP well done!xx

So beautiful!

It's beautiful, I want to live there! Far too nice to cut :)

Really gorgeous!

We took @handslikecowstits advice and paid for a taxi, I just couldn't cope with bouncing it around in a bucket on the train! It survived intact and ds1's girlfriend LOVES it :)

That is fab, very impressive!

So beautiful - I wish I lived near you - I would pay you for something like that for my daughter - do you do it professionally ?

No, I just do cakes for family and friends when they ask me have thought about giving it a go professionally but been daunted by the registering and elf and safety stuff!

Well @Greensleeves I think you're brilliant

[curtsies to Queen of Cakes]

That looks absolutely amazing!

I don't suppose she took a pic of it cut open? I really want to see the inside too

Wow that is an amazing cake. You shoukd be very proud of yourself.

Get a cab?

I can see why you're proud, what a brilliant cake.

How lovely are you to have made that for your sons girlfriend

Beautiful. You are so talented .
How do you transport it? With great care and difficulty .
Have you a tuberware box of that size ?
Failing that on a tray with the top tented with tinfoil .Then place in a bag or small suitcase and carry with the cake facing right way up in your arms even it means you nurse the case.
Best wishes travelling .

Very nice OP, well done

PS Is that house made of marzipan ? I am a fiend for marzipan
