When my friend Sharon asked me to make a christening cake for her little boy Harrison's party in September I was thrilled! But then I panicked, I'm more of a cupcake afficionado I've never done a big fancy cake. So I enlisted the help of my mother, she can turn her hand to anything, to produce a test cake.
This was my first time covering a cake with sugarpaste and first time making a tiered cake. Here's the finished product, had some trouble getting a smooth finish with the icing, but managed to cover it with a ribbon! Also the bear's a bit dodgy.
I'll be posting the real deal in September, wish me luck!
