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 ?

To be honest I've never done such a complicated shape with fondant but I imagine that patient easing is what's required for round the ears.

Wow, you've all been so busy!

Bindiboo - I have to ask how you got the two-tone effect in the cream roses? And also which nozzles you used? The effect looks really stunning! There are 3 big birthdays coming up this year, I'd love to get that effect for the giant cake I shall be making in the summer!

Bindi can you come shopping with me instead if I get to eat that cake! I'm virtually drooling just thinking about all that cream!
S23xy I can't believe how much you've baked! It all looks fab! I love the ice cream cupcakes too, always think they're great fun!

s23xy_c - I have a couple of eggs knocking around in the fridge, and you have inspired me to bake some sultana scones. They will be quick but yumcious!

Baking is fast becoming my favourite pastime - I just need to plan around when I'm going to see people so I can share the joy.
