Hen-do cake




I was asked to make a cake for a Hen-do. The 'hen' enjoyed running and so the cake was to be themed around this. If I had made the fondant woman in a running position it would not have remained upright, which is why she is standing with her hands on her hips. I was asked to put rabbits and a sheep on the cake. The trees, rabbits, flowers and sheep are also made out of fondant (regal icing). The cake was a vanilla sponge with 2 layers of jam. No buttercream was used with this cake - apricot jam was used instead to hold the icing in place. I enjoyed making this cake, and adding all the little 'extras' really helped to create the scene. This was only the second fondant person I have made.
