2 10x7x4 madeira cakes stacked with straws through it just to hold it together and stop them sliding. 3 layers of vanilla buttercream and tart raspberry jam. Ladders were gumpaste then painted with silver edible paint. I made sam out of gumpaste and he is held together with 3 cocktail sticks ( one holding his head on and one in each leg into his body) and sugar glue. Cheated and bought the red icing as I needed quite a lot of it. Inspiration from all the fireman sam cakes on here. Thank you.
