This is my first carved cake and I think it turned out well. I did have a bit of trouble with the fondant "sweating" due to being in Northern Queensland in the summer, but it looked fine and everyone loved it! (The instructions were from Collette Peter's book - thanks Pat!)
Too cute! And the way you have arranged it in the baker is great as well.
Great job! Looks like he's fresh from the pond! ;-D
Love it! He does look even more realistic with that moist sheen on him. You've made a wonderful discovery by accident!
