Here's a dummy cake, again for the website. It's a bit plain, should I add anything else to it? If so, what? Thanks!

Maybe I'll add a little bride and groom on the second tier. Anyway, here's my latest one, another dreaded Playboy bunny cake!!!! Oh well, at least it's money (that goes towards my speeding fine!).

This is fab, love the pink colour - did you get a playboy cutter in the end or are yuou hand cutting these each time? You even got one down the eight hole - very impressive! Also how do you fondant cover the eight? I imagine the holes in the middle would make this tricky. Do tell!

Here's my Snow White cake. It was so much nicer than the normal doll cakes because of the colours.

This is the cake I made for the Village Show competition. The whole day was filmed and will be shown on the BBC early next year. We were asked to look interested in a man making shoes so will almost definitely feature somewhere on the programme! I came third but if it weren't for some ladies not following the rules and using wires, I don't think I would have made the top three. The theme was "Land of our Fathers", so a welsh theme. The couple are actually sitting on a bench but you can't see it. They look a bit chubbier than I expected (they were meant to be children!) but it's the way I did the mouths.

I LOVE the tiny snail with the little snail trail following it up the hill. It's so fantastic! Was this for that BBC programme where they were looking for cake decorators? I rung them two days too late!

Thank you both!
Yes, they're on a bench. I covered half a length of spaghetti with 50/50 sugarpaste/flowerpaste and let it dry. Once dry and I'd done the cake, I could then stick the spaghetti into the cake and the top covered bit were the legs of the bench.
The snail was an extremely last minute addition because it looked a bit bare!
Yes, Emma, it probably was the same one. Because it was the first show, it was a little disorganised that way. Like there was only one entry for the longest carrot (because the show included largest pumpkin, tallest sunflower etc.). After this is aired next year people will know about it and I"m sure there'll be plenty more people taking part. How did you find out about it? I only knew because Alison had posted a message somewhere months and months ago.
Rach, I've got 2 cakes on the go and spent most of today on them. One is the Bratz one and the other is for an 80 year old gent. I've done most of the Bratz (I'm only doing one so it should be a Brat!) but I can't wait to cover it this evening and then transfer the Brat to the cake. They're both for Wednesday but because I can only work on the cakes in the evening when the children are in bed, and I've got my web design course on Tuesday, I've tried to get them done asap. How are you getting on? When is yours for?

I've done mine on plastic and will transfer it tonight (hopefully!). It didn't take that long. I enjoy doing bass relief. I couldn't think of any other way to do the cake.
