When we designed this cake, we kept in mind that while Bryn and Rhys are brothers and share the same likes, we did not want to make the same cakes for them. So for Bryn's birthday, we decided to take on fondant and gumpaste! Having never worked with gumpaste before, we set out to start this project earlier so that we can have a soccer figure that's displayed on top of the soccer cake. Let's just say, good thing we did because gumpaste, while easier to work with than fondant, can be tricky as well. This is the 3rd figure, the first two are not even worth a picture each (one looked like an overgrown Caillou , and the other a pudgy boy). Mary now uses the pudgy one as a paper weight :).
All in all, we thought that the cake looks pretty good and Bryn was pretty happy with the cake. Another success!
Another tip, kids love icing..fondant not so much!
