I made this cake for my grandson James who was christened yesterday. Triple layer vanilla cake filled with raspberry flavoured white ganache . I endeavoured to make my FIRST bassinet cake WITH HOOD but things didn't go to plan! I made the hood and left it to dry out for 5 days, but it never firmed up, so it's back to the drawing board on that one!!! Fast forward onto plan B here - which I think turned out fine! Teddies baby and name , and roped edges on cake are made from gum paste.
I had a light bulb moment in a BRICK-A-BRAC shop recently....when I. came across these 3" high brass numerals! I Arranged them on an A4 Sheet of copy paper, and took this picture ....which I printed. out.... to determine the actual size on paper. Selecting the FULL Page Photo option....displays numbers near enough their original 3"size. Selecting the HALF Page Photo option.... will display numbers approximately 1½" high. Thought that I would share the "Font Style" and "Number Sizes" with other CC Members! 3" High Numbers template
