Up In A Balloon!
This was for a first birthday for a little girl whose favourite character is Eeyore. Her mum wanted balloons on it too so I obliged!

That is so so so adorable! Great job!! Would you consider sharing your recipe for modelling paste? :wink:
This has to be one of my favorite cakes on this site. Great job!!javascript:emoticon('post', 'message', '8O')
Modelling paste is made from sugarpaste and CMC gum powder combined. 1 teaspoon of CMC to 500g of sugarpaste. Sprinkle powder onto work surface and knead the paste into it until the powder disappears. Cover in clingfilm and store in a self sealing plastic bag. Colour and use as required. (Carboxy Methyl Cellulose - CMC) from Squires Kitchen online.
Just noticed this question!! My website is www.lorraine-icingonthecake.co.uk
what is your website? I loved this cake!!
Wow...I can't believe how cute this is! :-D *adds to favorites*
You are sooo talented! You're cakes are superb!
Also, how did you make your letters? And, did you use a rubber stamp for the pattern on the sides?
Very cute! I love it!
The side design is made using embossers from patchwork cutters. I think it's called a cradle set but I'd need to check on that. The effect is good though. Each square is cut out separately and attached onto the cake. I printed a picture of Eeyore from google images and used it as a guide for likeness. I think he's one of my favourites. The balloons are made from modelling paste attached to florist wires.
beautiful cake
WOW!!! I checked out your web site and I have never seen anything so amazing! Are all your little people made of fondent?
oh my god! i just check your website! i am soooo amazed by how great your cakes are! can you share with us how u make your figures?do u use a mold or did it by hand?
i love it! i love, love eeyore. It looks like a little figurine. wonderful job.
I don't use any moulds. I use the internet to find images of characters and work from that. I use sugarpaste (fondant) mixed with CMC powder to make a modelling paste. It allows the characters to harden but remain soft enough to bite into if you wanted to.
tnx for sharing! i will be lookinf forward to your future creations!
overall terrific!
wow! i also checked out ur site and i'm floored! i can't find a single flaw any where!! i can't even wrap my mind around how u make and attach such detail to ur characters!
Ok, I'm amazed! I just read that Eeyore is hand-molded! I thought he was a toy! Your modeling skills are truly amazing! What a wonderful cake!
Unbelievable likeness for Eeyore! This is just fantastic!
Just gorgeous!!!! i am so in awe
I absolutely love the quilted look on the side, such beautiful colors and designs! And eeyore is just too darn cute=)
I just bought the book that this cake is in....You did a great job! This is one of my favorites in the book. Did you find the embossers at Hobby Lobby???

With regard to Confectionary2's comment on buying the book that "this" cake was in....can I just point out that only a similar side design can be found in Lindy Smith's Celebrate with a Cake book. The top for this cake is not shown in any book and was created by me. Thought I should clear that up before anyone scoured the net looking for the instructions! :wink:
Oh! so cute. He is my favorite character. Love him. How did you do it? Any special instructions? I bet there are. Did a great job.I think this cake is in the best top three I ever seen.
Eeyore16....I have to say that for most of my modelling when it comes to well known characters, I look at an image from google or I sit with a soft toy in front of me and try and recreate it in sugar. I do not own the rights to these kind of characters so I could not offer modelling instructions for them. Practice and more practice and you will get a result! :wink:
Very nice! What molds or stencils did you use for the lettering? I've been looking for someting like that.
This is just gorgeous. I love it!
Oh, also... I was wondering how you did Eeyore's hair. If you don't mind sharing that little bit. :)
How sweet!!! Beautiful work!!!
YOu did a beautifuk job, I love all your details, patcwork is impecable and how almost everything is edible. :wink:
8O is really all I can say......incredible.
Now that's adorable.
That is so cute! I'm sure everyone loved it too!

This is such a pretty cake, love your colors, love how you decorated the sides, and I love your Eeyore. The cake is really a beautiful master-piece

That is so cute! Terrific job! How did you get your letters to look like that? Did you use cookie cutters or a stencil? Please share. [email protected]
Awwwww, This is so adorable!
How did you get the wires in the cake to stay up straight with the weight of the balloons?
