Sorry, I'm totally attention-seeking Grin, I was up until 5am finishing my son's 17th birthday cake and just had to share it with MN!

That's brilliant! Any chance you could post a picture of the whole thing?

JohnandMary · 29/09/2019 13:47

That’s awesome. My son, 11 at the time, made this for my husband’s birthday last year. He REALLY enjoyed sticking the knife in.

@Wellmet, the kind of 17yo who writes a politics blog and wants to be a journalist Grin

Hadn't thought of GBBO! Will post a pic of the whole thing when I get home.

It's fantastic. I love the way they look a bit like Camberwick Green figures. JRM is quite hot imo.

Trewser · 29/09/2019 22:55

That's the best thing I've seen for a while. I think you might be an actual genius.

aibutohavethisusername · 29/09/2019 22:55

That’s bloody brilliant.

starlingsintheslipstream · 29/09/2019 22:55

That's amazing. I love a good cake thread.

EasyLifer · 29/09/2019 22:56

That's too good to eat, please don't let them be eaten!

Wintersnowdrop · 29/09/2019 22:56

Haha love it :) You are very talented!

ErrolTheDragon · 29/09/2019 22:57

Astonishing.

And AFAIK, the first time an icing simulacrum has been arguably of more use and ornament than the real thing.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 29/09/2019 22:58

Well done!!

Outstanding

That is brilliant OP! You are seriously talented. Fantastic perspective too. Corbyn and Bercow are especially accurate!

justonecottonpickingminute · 29/09/2019 23:04

I mean proportions, not perspective.

littlevoicer · 29/09/2019 23:08

YANBU, so long as you plan to stick pins in all over and dismember him slowly whilst telling him what a twat he is.

FrownPrincess · 29/09/2019 23:22

Wow, that’s amazing OP

Didn't JRM point out he has the right to be beheaded rather than hung drawn and quartered?

AnxietyDream · 29/09/2019 23:27

Amazing Cake

PandaG · 29/09/2019 23:28

Brilliant! Please submit to Extra Slice as per previous posts. Kudos to your son for appreciating such a cake. :)
