I made this cake for my friend's wee girl who is celebrating her 9th birthday with a slumber party for 10 !!
So enjoyed making this cake. I'd never made a fondant/gum face or figure before these attempts so was thrilled with the results. My first time working with gum paste too. Much nicer to work with than fondant. I dyed the flesh tones for the faces using paprika paste and I think the result is great.
I had so much fun with the detail, one wee dog rummaging under the bed, the birthday present behind the bed and some slippers lying about.
The "bed" is a triple layer vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream and jam filling, baked in 26 x 19 cm rectangular tins.
Looking forward to the next cake already :-)
