Here is the cake so far. My friend Oli is making two carrot cakes and tomorrow she is coming over and we are icing the two layers and putting them together and decorating the cake in the safari theme. Here are the little icing figures I've made so far. I have also made lots of leaves big and small like the ones in the bottom photo.I've never done cake decorating before but it's really quite easy. You have these thick icing colourings which you mix into the white icing and then it's just like playdough!
It's been fun making the little icing characters. We've got a lot to get through tomorrow though... Mum and Dad are coming over to look after Will while Oli and I finish the cake.
Anway, back to it, I think I'll make a Rhino now :)
Have a great evening everyone.
Are you kidding me! That is going to be the most awesome cake ever...you are extraordinary!
