February 23, 2011 at 9:11 pmYou could go into business selling these cakes! They are absolutely beautiful. I am particularly impressed with the fondant figures. That was a great idea to try them in play dough first.

July 12, 2011 at 4:44 amSuch fun!
What is the recipe for the actual cake though? I am busy brainstorming ideas for my sons 1st birthday in three weeks!!!! He is inlove with the movie Happy Feet. So penguin theme would be ideal.
Great job on the cows.

July 12, 2011 at 8:35 pmThanks Janine! The penguin cake was sooo much fun to make! And not too hard either. When using fondant, you need to make a cake that can support the weight of the decoration… a butter cake or a pound cake are ideal. I am making another cake for my eldest daughter’s birthday in the next few days and I have used this butter cake recipe: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/19421/butter+cake I hope it helps! <3
