I made this topper for my grandaughter's 2nd birthday cake coming up this weekend. Its made from clay not gumpaste as I wanted it to be a keepsake for her. It is my first attempt at sculpting something out of clay and I think after this, I'll stick with gumpaste, its a bit more forgiving. I am happy with the results though.
This is adorable, and what a nice keepsake for your grandaughter. Now you will have to make her something new every birthday, ha! I know she will love it.
How incredibly adorable!!!!! I'm a horse person (work with them for a living) and I want one of these for myself!!!! LOL.
That is just too stinkin cute! Was this done without a mold?
Yes, I couldn't find one that suited my needs so I sort of winged it by looking at pictures on the web and going from there. Thanks for the sweet comments. I was feeling a bit of guilt because it was not edible.
Oh its adorable!! I wish I could learn how to do sculpt ANYTHING. This looks soooo good!!
Well, here it is on the cake. Sorry the pics are not too good. The cake was 12x15, 2 layer vanilla butter cake with lemon curd and fresh strawberries for filling. BCF and gumpaste on the outside. The letters were done to look like wood. I have a neat font "Burnstown Dam" that was just what I wanted so I just sort of copied it. All and all I was very happy with how it turned out. Thank you all for your sweet comments.
Do you ever make these and sell them? I am very interested in having one of these as my daughters cake topper. If so, I would love to order one!! Her party is on January 22.
