I've made a couple recently that I want to show off to people... We could all go 'ooooh' at each other's efforts!

Who knows + others, thanks for the tip. I'm rolling out on the bench with icing sugar. Goes to crap, sticks,cand I can't get it off the bench. Will try your ideas next time.

I did an r2d2 cake for ds2 fairly simple as it was a dome shape and the o added the legs and covered in white roll out icinng and painted on Thee details with colored icing and some icing pens?.

Ooh. Darth Maul. Put a picture up when it's done. Good luck.

doradoo · 24/03/2014 10:45

My R2D2 was so bad - DS1 didn't even recognise it......

Also attached Little Einsteins rocket and Mario! The icing is homemade marshmallow fondant as you can't buy fondant icing easily here in Germany.

I found last years birthday cakes.

Dd's theatre cake. Ds2's Olympic table tennis cake.

And my favourite, ds1's replica Nike Airforce Ones.

Thanks midori, it was made from a patch work cutter with petal paste then I painted it the same as in his photo.

I have made those, they frighten me for some reason. Love yours though.

5madthings, boys eh?

5madthings · 25/03/2014 09:12

Yes typical indeed, he actually howled and cried about it being the wrong colour and still brings it up now over a year later! He was lucky I didn't throw the cake in his face! Grin

I made this gingerbread cake last night but I think it might be a bit dry, do you think I might have baked it for too long? The recipe says its supposed to be east Sad

A few more bees, def get easier with practise! And I did little 'stingers' as well. I am sadly pleased with myself at my first attempt at cake pops.

Stealth, what was the hidden surprise in the cricket ball?

5madthings, they great!

Notafoodbabyanymore · 27/03/2014 07:13

I love this thread!

Notafoodbabyanymore · 27/03/2014 07:21

Ok, that just posted before I was ready...

What a talented buch you all are - amazing!

I love baking and would love to try my hand at using fondant/ sugar paste for decoration, but just use buttercream at the moment. To be fair, dh hates the taste of fondant anyway, so it's hardly worth the effort...

I'll see if I can post some pics from my phone.

Seminyak · 28/03/2014 11:18

Just finished this inspired by a wedding invitation we received. Just a practice cake.

Fairy lights!
