This weeks cake brief was something horse-racing. I am not really great at figurines nor drawing.. and this was to be a challenge.
Originally I wanted the easy way out and thought I would just buy some pre-made horses either at the $2 shop or maybe even at the cake shop - but I was out of luck - they didn't have them.. not even cheap horses from cowboys and Indians (what happened to those toys we had as kids)
Anyway so the challenge began of drawing and shaping horses including using a very thing fondant sheet (yes pre-made) but a major challenge to draw a horse and cut it out.
Here are the pics.
Lower cake - chocolate sponge with vanilla butter cream
Top cake - vanilla sponge with chocolate butter cream
