Well, in a spare moment, I cobbled together the art.

The main image is this shot of Aldrin with the seismometer, with the LM and the U.S. Flag in the background. Then, I added insets of the launch, the plaque on the ladder leg, and the CM floating in the Pacific, with the recovery Frogmen alongside.

AJames - it is a Nerf gun that I sculpted out of Rice Krispie treats!

I was guessing something like that. Shows you how far removed I am from instruments of foam-rubber mayhem.:D 

 

Looking at a Google image search on "nerf gun," it seems as if real life has caught up with the final scene of the Get Smart episode, "Our Man in Toyland."

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but my husband finally managed to free up enough space to sort out the photos from my last few cakes.  Here they are:

 

A little cake for my friend's son's 2nd birthday.  Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream which unfortunately melted a bit in the sun.  Van and figure provided by mum.

 

A cake for a drummer.  Gumpaste cymbal and drumsticks.  Both tiers chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling.

 

Hand-painted gumpaste panels and modelling chocolate decorations for a first birthday cake for a friend.  Chocolate cake on the bottom tier and lemon and raspberry for the top tier.

 

 

There should have been one more cake to show off - my birthday cake - but in the end I was feeling so miserable with morning sickness and fatigue that I just gave up and didn't bother doing more than a rough coating of buttercream and some sprinkles :-)  I can't stand cake at the moment anyway, so it was no loss to me!
