yes it is...i'm generally not fond of bratz dolls (think they are a bit OTT for kids with the makeup and minimal clothing), but it was the cheapest one in the shop and to be honest think the fact that it has an oversized head actually works better with the oversized skirt...and the woman that ordered it told me she was a porn star (!!!!) so don't think she would have been fussed about it being a bratz...

Here are my latest 2 college piece where we were learning fabric effects...drapes, swags and fabric effect roses...also piping with sugarpaste...anyone done that, it is an absolute revelation to me! No longer will I be mixing and trying to match the colour of royal icing to sugarpaste on a cake...just let down some of the left over sugarpaste with water to a consistency you can pipe with...it's a bit like piping with chewing gum, but fine for a bit of lettering and an upsy daisy cake

They are both fab. will try pipng with sugarpaste sounds a lot easier than making royal icing

They are both brilliant..your cakes have come on a treat....I think I must look into a course..feel very stale at the mo...I havent done that with sugarpaste and piping..but I have done it abit but not so loose when using a sugarshaper...gosh if i had a brain and actually thought about it ..I would have clicked and done it..gosh I would be dangerous then..lol

that is brilliant..I have a major problem with car cakes...and after the last major prob I had with them I am abit scared to do another....how did you find the carving of the cake and the rusteze bit ..is that an edible image or hand done.... I really really love this one... R x

i always make madeira sponge so it tends to carve very well...the only thing was no 2 pictures of lightning mcqueen are the same! I did this cake for a family member (who I don't charge much) and so the rusteze was just printed on paper and stuck on with a dab of icing...if I was doing it 'professionally' i would get an edible image done...the worst bit was painting the lightning down the sides...hard to paint yellow on red!
