Tractor Christening Cake


This Christening cake has a strong farming theme. The parents of Jack requested there be a red tractor on the top, to match the one on their farm. The tractor was modelled out of rice crispy cakes and iced with fondant icing. It was made on a thin cake board which had been iced in green to make it easier to transfer on and off the cake.


The fence posts were made from a mixture of fondant icing and modelling paste - this gave enough strength to hold together but was easier to work with than just using modelling paste alone.
The soil was created by taking the centre out of Oreos and then crushing the remaining biscuit.
