Pink Pony/Unicorn


A lovely pink cake for a dear little four year old girl.  Vanilla flavoured cake with buttercream icing.  I am quite pleased with the end result.  Pushing the white fondant through an older style screw type garlic press to get the long even strands for the mane and tail hair. I did brush the whole pony with pearl lustre, you can't quite make it out on the pic.  I laughed out loud when I looked at these pics though as the unicorn horn should be up higher in the top mane hair not down on the nose like a rhino - fortunately the little girl was not too discerning.

Gasoline anyone?


This is a chocolate cake, my most popular recipe and flavour.  The picture on the left of the top cake is similar to the pump that wife Michelle and birthday boy Garry have bought to do up.  I think I might have a minor crush on Andrew at Cartridge World in Upper Hutt as he is so helpful and obliging with my orders.  I am really pleased with these sugar sheet images.  Michelle was thrilled to bits with this cake and I have to say that I was happy with the nice straight lines, good colour and finished product.
I received this really nice feedback;
My wife had the Texaco Pump made for my 50th Birthday by Tina, I just want to say this was one absolutely amazing cake, seriously, it blew me away. Detail was absolutely amazing & correct. The cake it'self was beautiful so not only did it look fantastic it tasted the same. I cannot recommend this seller highly enough. It was brought out to me in a resturant & even people around the resturant came over to admire it & commented on how amazing it was, so do not hesitate to use this lady at all.
