5th birthday cake for a girl power ranger fan. Very easy to do, just make up a template first, duplicate it, then cut the 2nd one up to make mini-templates for the little bits, use the original template to tell you exactly where and how everything goes. Cheers!

how strange, I'm doing a walking enthusiasts cake for my uncle's 60th birthday...no way i'd try a freestanding model though...think mine will be sat down or propped against a wall...

I do love your figure modelling,...I always find it hard to dress them

We did some basic modelling at college this week...snowmen, penguins etc for our christmas cake and the teacher told us that if you want to dress your models you should use a flower paste that you can roll out really thin and is stretchy enough not to break or tear whilst you are dressing them...my biggest problem with people modelling is manging to do it without the legs or arms breaking off...

This was done just by making a thick two tier sponge and shaving it into the shape of a bucket. The cloths and sides are made from standard icing. The tools are just plastic childs toys stuck into the bucket. Very simple to do. A retirement cake for a head caretaker.

Rich fruit Santa cake for Newburgh school Christmas Fete. A minimum of modeling on this one but a good design to start out on as the figures are fully supported by the 'chair' and each other. Fun!
