Hi guys and hope you had a lovely Christmas im just about to have a lovely boxing day dinner but just had to post this!!
My best friend bought me Lindy Smith's Celebrate with a Cake book and I just made the cheeky baby in blanket and it turned out great (even if i do say so myself!) im so pleased, this is the first thing ive ever made that ive been completly happy with! the hard part was the blanket, i made it too thick so it didnt drape great but its fine!
Ps in my hurry to get it done and photographed i didnt let it dry and broke off the fingers - lol just as well its a practice. also the scouring pad i used makes it look like the fondant is cracked so i might try a different one.
Well done!! isn't it a good feeling when you see the end product?
makes you all excited to do another!!
Merry Christmas and enjoy your boxing day dinner....
Thanks everyone, i cant stop going into the kitchen to look at her!! im just so relieved as i have a male figure with grey hair to do for end january and i was really worried i would be able to get a nice face! im going to have a go at making him soon and then just store him for the big day ![]()
she didnt take long at all! i had the gumpaste already made up and matured overnight and i just followed the instructions using a ruler for measurements and assembled her pretty quickly - less than an hour. the blanket actually took the longest as i had to roll and reroll it 3 times before it would sit right but definitly not as time consuming as i would have though and im a slowcoach!! give fondant a try, its amazing!
Great job!
I might have to give it a try myself sometime soon!
