Thank you to everyone for their advice, i know it looks a little messy but i don't have any spatulas etc lol so i used a dinner knife to spread the ganache

Hi feefeelalabelle and welcome. Gorgeous cake - did you carve a bigger cake to make the ears?

When you say other than eBAY, Amazon do you mean not on the Internet? If so you would need to find a good cake making supplier near where you live and they would probably be able to source one for you.


bindiboo - absolutely beautiful as always - making me drool.

littlebit - love the chocolate cake too.

hiya, no i actually started with a sqaure cake then i put the jam and cream in the middle and then make the shape with my fish knife (not good i know )its all one piece apart from the bow which i made from some spare icing. I cant draw for toffee so i didnt think i would be able to freehand a shape, but im pleased for my first attempt.

what i did find difficult is getting the icing into the gaps eg the ears, what could youd you recommend to make it easier as the back of the cake dosnt look fabulous , should i be cutting into the icing ?

well done on the fantastic cakes, i could eat them all
