And nice work MissTeeks. A lot of people don't realise how time consuming and difficult it can be to produce cakes like the ones you displayed there. You are pretty good, I bet you could go into business.

Thanks! I eventually want to get into cakes as a real business, right now it's just for friends. And they do take a good chuck of time to do, about three days.

Fondant doesn't taste that great, but I make sure there is enough buttercream underneath so you still get icing if you pull off the fondant. Or I use marshmallow fondant, which is just made from melted marshmallows and a lot of icing sugar, it tastes a bit better than the store-bought stuff. These three were my first foray into carved cakes and fondant.
