HI
I am thinking of making a wrestling ring cake for my ds birthday but does anyone have and ideas on how I can keep the ropes up as they only attach at each corner to posts. Was thining of using sweet laces and maybe chewy sticks for the ropes and posts.
Thanks

These cakes are great. :T

I made this for my daughter's 2nd birthday last year. A pink dinosaur made from a madeira baked in a pyrex bowl then covered in icing. It was my first attempt at anything other than a basic round cake which is why it's a bit dodgy!

It's her 3rd birthday this Saturday and I'm working full time so don't have as much time as last year but will hopefully make a small round cake surrounded by fairy cakes as petals.

We must have the same cake decorating book

Here's my first attempt at baking a cake - EVER!!

Hi

Sorry if this is a bit late but I thought this might help you out. It's a picture from a book I have at home. The poles are made from plastic cake dowels and the ropes are made from silver embroidery thread. The poles just have a piece of black fondant on the top. Good Luck:D

Hi Awesome

I've just finished a cake for my daughter in law which has wired flowers on top. I just stuck a piece of fondant on the back of the flower with the wire in between the flower and fondant iyswim, it seems to have held ok. I did bend the wire round at the top first as I was terrified someone would lose an eye:eek: I will post a pic shortly for you;)
