    That's excellent!! :T

    It doesn't look like a novice effort in any way.

    Is the bath cake too or all fondant?

    I was going to the do the bath as a cake but decided on doing fondant so that they could keep the cake decoration. The bath would have "gone off" if it were a cake!

    Thank you everyone! I say I'm a novice because I haven't been doing cakes long, probably a year. It is something I'd like to do as a business and we are trying to pay off our debts and within 5 years, have saved enough for me to open my own business :T I've still got 3 years to complete the course at college and am studying for my 7302 so I can help teach cake dec skills on the level 1 course!

    DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

    leni that cake is awesome, I wish I could do something like that.

    One suggestion, remember to take a picture of every cake you decorate so you can make up a portfolio for your business so you can show clients what you have made in the past and what they can expect.

    Looking at that cake, if you showed me a portfolio of that and similar cakes decorated to the same standard you would definately get a sale from me :)
