Woodpecker bird box



This is my first attempt at airbrushing a cake. 

The cake was an 8" fruit cake that I cut into 4 then stacked 3 on top of each other to form the shape before marzipanning and covering with sugarpaste.

 The roof was white icing that I airbrushed grey then added the tile effect - although you cannot see it on the picture, I then airbrushed the sides of the birdbox.

The woodpeckers were made following the instruction in Frances McNaughtons new book - 20 to make Sugar Birds.  Loads of quick and easy birds to make in there - well 20 in fact.

Gemma's Birthday cake

This is for Gemma's 8th birthday sleepover. Gemma did a drawing of how she wanted her cake, hope it lives up to her expectations. Half is sponge with jam & buttercream and the other half is chocolate cake.
