I've never used gumpaste for modelling before so am really quite chuffed with how it turned out.

These were all for the Church Bazaar on Sunday - question remains how am I going to ice the one I've made for us?

Wow!

I think it's safe to say, mine won't look anything like those!

They look great! I am envious of anyone that can ice cakes. I ahve been trying for 17years and STILL can't produce anything that looks remotely presentable!

They're fab. I love looking at mumsnetters cakes on these threads - such clever people out there .

They are all lovely.

Very theraputic isn't it?

They're fabulous!

love the cakes...I have just recently, this year got into sugarcraft/cake decorating I would love to learn more....I have three Christmas cakes to decorate.....Yours are Brilliant!!!....

Absolutely beautiful! How much are you charging for them? And how much icing sugar etc do you have on yourself and the worktops? I'm usually a mess after decorating a cake!

Thank you for the lovely comments

LadyofTheFlowers - yes, it's very calming - I spent a lovely Friday afternoon rolling and cutting and smoothing...

LadyVoluptua,it's good fun, isn't it? But a very expensive hobby... if I added up what I've spent on 'must-have' equipment over the years I'd probably faint!

carries, the big one was for a raffle so I donated it, the others were sold for £20 apiece.

The kitchen was not a pretty sight afterwards, but I was okay thanks to my wrap-around pinny...

I'm actually doing the food hygiene cert at college tomorrow so that in the New Year, once my kitchen's passed council inspection, I can legally sell them - I've been doing them for friends & rellies for a while now but have been asked by others if I'd do ones for them, so I'm making it all official. Scary stuff!
