Happy Retirement Dave

This is a 29cm fruit cake - very heavy.  There is almond icing on the top, then topped off with the white, red and black. I could have joined the seams a bit better I think. I am quite happy with the effect of the silver colouring.

Dynamic Dinosaur

I dropped this cake off to Callum for Ellas' 4th birthday party today.  It is a chocolate cake with a fondant volcano and buttercream icing for the rest.  I found the stegasaurus skeleton at the $2 shop - which was a great finishing touch.  This is not a tricky cake at all - it was fun putting it together - thank you Monte once again for your male perspective... very helpful.

A piece of Patchwork

This cake was finished today. It took quite a while to decorate as I had to keep emptying my icing bag and swaping nozzles.  I am really happy with the end product - however - I really must practice writing with a piping bag.  The lettering is from using cutters and although relatively neat- not as nice in my opinion as 'writing'.
