Cake Decor Cairns

I have been playing around with a few ideas for my  Christmas 3D modelling workshop and this cute little fella is one that didn't make the cut in my lesson plan. He's not quite right and until I have perfected him I won't add him to the list.  However since I took photos of how I made my "Rudolph" cake topper,  I thought you might enjoy having a look and hopefully it will inspire you to have a go at making your own version.    Share ♡  Inspire  ♡  Motivate :: Home Bakers Doing it for Themselves.

Those of you that follow my facebook page would probably already know that my 6 year old is a massive Doctor Who fan. This handsome little guy has been watching Doctor Who since he was 3 years old! Yeah I know right, what child sits still and watches complete episodes of this quirky show? ! Um Hello that would be mine! A day after his 5th birthday he told me sternly "Mummy for my next birthday I want a Doctor Who cake. Can you please make it?" Well at the time I said yes, but didn't realise he was going to hold me to it! Fast forward almost 12 months and the pressure was on. I had made my first ganache/fondant covered cakes only a  couple of  months earlier so i wasn't sure how or what i was going to pull off. I had envisioned some type of round cake with a few DW toppers- nothing fancy or two difficult... Weird brain  activity occurs... And suddenly a week before his birthday I find myself planning on a 3D Tardis cake! Um what the? Yes crazy I know...

I was asked 2 days before the Wedding to make some cupcakes for the dessert table at a family wedding.  Eeek 2 days didn't leave me much time to get too detailed so I had to come up with something that was simple, easy to mass produce and still look elegant. I made 150 of these lovlies and they were a hit! The visual of all 150 out on the table was really special and worked out as planned!  Now it wasn't all easy, I must admit, I made a huge mistake in the morning and baked 80 of these sad sunken cupcakes! To my horror I realised all too late that the 6th cup of flour to be folded in was in fact still waiting and sitting on the bench all the while the cupcakes were almost finished baking!! Eeeeek! What a disaster!  But what's a girl to do? Feed the rejects to her husband and kids and keep on baking!! Luckily I had enough ingredients on hand to make another batch! The topper designs I chose were simple cutters a heart and flower. But to dress them ...
