Fireman Sam Cake

This was a great, but tricky cake to work on. There was a lot of detail to incorporate and trying to ice around the shape of the fire engine proved challenging. But it was all worth it because all the little details helped to pull it all together.

I think the paving is effective and was surprisingly easy to do using a cutter - not that I should be telling you that!

Curious George Cake

My next cake was for a 1st Birthday party and was to be in the design of Curious George. The yellow and red colours go very well together and make for an eye-catching cake.

I changed the name on the side of the cake to suit the Birthday boy - Bobby. This was a nice way of personalising the cake whilst still keeping the theme of the cake.

The party hat was made from a strip of regal icing cut into a triangle and then painted with green and purple. I think it turned out well and is quite effective, not to mention much easier than cutting out strips of green and purple icing!
