I agreed to make a cake for my daughter's school for a silent auction. Life got busy and I have left it to last minute (it is this Wednesday) and now I am trying to decide what to do. It is for a nursery school, so probably my best bet is to do a kids cake. I did not leave myself a lot of time for gumpaste to dry... I think it is a good marketing opportunity and I want the school to do well from the cake so I want to impress. Any suggestions? TIA :)

How about something with a christmas theme? Here in australia we're already getting into the

christmas spirit

Or you could do a cake with an autumn theme.  This is a chocolate cake with choc ganoche filling covered with a chocolate glaze.  The flowers and leaves are modeling chocolate brushed with bronze glitter mixed with vanilla.
