We might do that one day, but alot of the older ones are hard to part with !! Plus i have had so many of them given to me, so there is some sentimental value.

I make more character cakes than anything else and I have never even heard of people being looked down upon for having this skill.

I have made a few standard cakes, wedding, christening, adult birthday, but my most admired and remembered cakes are usually character ones.

Saying this, I don't own a single character pan, preferring to sculpt the cakes by hand as I feel this gives them a little more originality, but that doesn't mean I haven't used these pans or wouldn't use them in the future.

I think as cake decorators we should learn from one anothers triumphs as well as disasters and not break off into our own "classes".

I am not a character cake decorator, I am simply a cake decorator and I intend on continuing my craft for as long as it brings me joy.

You are all so very kind. I really enjoy my cake decorating and it's so lovely to have so many new friends to talk about it too, most of my friends are bored stupid with the topic!
