to show off my Flower Power Festival cake? I can't share it IRL because the birthday girl hasn't seen it yet!

Made for a dear friend's 18 year old daughter. The birthday girl is gorgeous, a real ray of sunshine, and is thoroughly enjoying being 18 and going to festivals etc, so I wanted the cake to be really exuberant and joyful. Went a bit overboard and it looks like a cake shop broke into our house and threw up on a cake board Grin

I've done the birthday girl in her rainbow knitted coat (made by another family friend), red sunglasses and Doc Martens with yellow laces, and her beloved family dog!

Epic!

Wow I love it OP

You know you should do this for money, don't you? The HoC cake kept me and my colleagues in stitches for the rest of the day.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 11/10/2019 20:20

You are truly an artist pigeononthegate the festival cake is wonderful and the HoC cake is awesome! (I'd take great pleasure in biting the head off JRM Grin)

I love a cake thread. Looks awesome! Send us a slice please! Grin

Mimsnethe · 11/10/2019 20:28

All of your lovely cakes have made me smile! Grin

What age is your DS? I’m gleefully picturing a chubby-wristed toddler tucking in to JRM’s head.

Alsohuman · 11/10/2019 20:29

That’s quite possibly the most beautiful and joyous cake I’ve ever seen. You’re a genius, OP. Please send a picture to An Extra Slice.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 11/10/2019 20:35

They are fab OP. Not just the skill level but the humour. Really great.

sqirrelfriends · 11/10/2019 20:39

Wow, that's seriously impressive! Well done, I'm sure she will love it.

Cherrysoup · 11/10/2019 20:45

I’d be ecstatic to get any of those! You ought to turn professional! Brilliant cakes.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 11/10/2019 20:48

They are incredible 😍 you really should consider doing it full time... Although I wouldn't want to ever cut into one!

Moominmammaatsea · 11/10/2019 21:55

Now, that's the only Jacob Rees-Mogg I will EVER appreciate. You really are a cake genius.

Oh I love it! Very original, you are so talented with sugar paste. Loving the house of commons one too, great eye for detail. Hope the 18 year old has an epic birthday.

pigeononthegate thank you so much, I will try that. I'm very annoyed that it got the better of me.

saltysally · 12/10/2019 00:40

Oh my gosh OP. You've done an incredible job. The birthday girl will be stunned

Katinski · 12/10/2019 00:52

I've just returned to your thread and seen your other offerings. That JRM cake has just made me laugh out loudGrin

MagneticSingularity · 12/10/2019 01:00

OP as ‘humble bragging’ goes this thread really takes the cake! You are super talented, I’d buy every single one of your cakes for $$$s and bask in the envy of everyone who knows me whilst displaying them. Your birthday girl friend is a very very lucky birthday girl. That is a thing of beauty and joy if ever I saw one.
