Birthday cake for a 4x4 enthusiast!!

My youngest grandson - a little 4x4 enthusiast who loves driving on rocks with 4x4 vehicles with his dad ("klippe ry" as he says in Afrikaans).
So at 3 years old he wanted a birthday cake with rocks......... everything except the vehicles are edible as I could not see myself making them.
He loved the cake and being able to drive his 4x4 vehicles on the rocks.
I knew the little man was going to be very upset when we wanted to cut the cake, so therfor made the top part of the cake a dummy cake. This was then removed and he could continue driving his vehicles on the 4x4 track.






CHRISTENING CAKE FOR MY NEW GRANDDAUGHTER




















A pink cake for a beautiful little princess!!





























Everything on this cake is edible and handmade by me.

I really enjoyed decorating this cake - this is the type of cakes that I made in my active cake decorating days.


BUSHMEN PARTY

My elder grandson's birthday cakes - yes two. One for the nursery school party and one for the family party on their farm.
The theme - Bushmen party!! Very unusual but his decision after a visit to Namibia. He was very impressed with the bushmen they met on the game farm where they stayed.







Below photos whilst making the decorations for the cake.
Due to a very busy work schedule the bushmen itself were made by a friend of my daughter - a very good cakedecorater.
The rest of the decorations I made myself. Everything is edible except for the bow, arrows and spears. I really enjoyed myself with the making of this cake.
