Fondant Friends
After seeing my little fondant people on my Christmas cake this year, a friend from work asked if I could make her sister and brother in law for her to give as Christmas gifts.

Festive Fun Christmas Cake 2011
After modelling myself and my man, tonight I completed our model family by making our beautiful Miniature Schnauzer Dusty out of fondant.
Add a few trees and penguins playing in the snow...
... and 'voila'... one fun and festive Christmas cake
Perfect for Christmas day!

Eskimo? ...Eskime!
I'm currently working on my Christmas cake and I'm really excited about it!
As part of the decoration I've myself and my man into fondant eskimo's!
I think someone should put their hood up before they get cold!

Super Cute Knitted Headband
My gorgeous friend Kelly said to me "Wend, do you reckon you could knit me a cute headband with a bow?". Naturally I replied "Of course. Leave it with me"
What I actually meant was, 'leave it with me and I will knit you a pretty headband'. What I didn't mean was, 'I will knit one and leave it with me and not give it to you'. Sadly as I don't see her too often, that's what happened.
The story has a happy ending though... Kelly knitted herself one at the same time anyway :)
Now where did I put my scissors? I really must cut my fringe...

Creating icing run outs can be a challenge.
Contending with a wobbly hand or table, taking great care not to knock or touch it while it's setting and then having to wait days to see if it will dry out fully is frustrating but when it works, the results can be lovely and are perfect for putting on a cake...

Christmas Cakes Are Coming
Christmas is just around the corner now (hasn't it come around quickly?!) and I've made two cakes so far with one more to squeeze in before the big guy comes-a-knocking... or sliding down the chimney.
For the first cake I made a spray of sugar paste flowers and leaves and for the second some pretty poinsettia flowers.
