The Week That Was

A big week last week filled with figurines and 3D cakes. There was a beach scene for 2 lads having a joint 60th Birthday celebration in Port Douglas so a topless sunbathing babe on a beach was very fitting.


Then there was Ferguson the Bear. Ferguson is a much loved Teddy Bear who is always in tow with his owner Lily. Where Lily goes, Ferguson goes and help us all if the two should part! Lily's cake was a replica of her beloved bear and throughout the process of making him I couldn't stop thinking about Lily's reaction when the time came to cut up Ferguson! In the end, I decided to let her mother worry about that.


 
 The last "cab off the rank" was a Holden Ute cake. Yep, delivered both cakes on Friday then off I went to Sydney that evening to do this fabulous cake at Planet Cake. I like a challenge and this was no exception. Putting the cake together was the easy part - the devil was in the detail! And boy do we have some detail going here. The contours, the lines, the bubbled windshield, the wheel flares......and the list goes on! Interesting that since making this cake I now view at cars in a very different light.
