Ok so this is the cake that caught the peoples eye! my brother in law asked if i could do darren a cake..of course i said yes! i was giving it to him as a present but i knew it had to be brilliant! there was a lot of ideas bouncing around but after discussing with jenny the 'caravan' cake was born! it had to be done! darren and alan had had 3 caravans that year alone and so was a major part of there life! we decided that the cake would be the caravan and that we could make people to go with it! i decided on fimo clay..i wanted them to have something to keep as a memory!
i made the caravan from 2 loaf tins pieced together and moulded into shape, i then covered in fondant and painted on the detail (unfortunately im no artiste! something to work on i feel!) .I have to thank my friend jenny as well ..if it werent for her mini darren and alan would be sitting on the floor! after searching hobbycraft for dolls house deckchairs she had the magical idea of making some with ribbon and matchsticks! no way i could pull that off so home she went and came up with the wonderfull deckchair creations! and awning of course! she's one clever bunny..speaking of which check out her own blog .... http://jenny-wrens.blogspot.com/ she makes the most gorgeous knitted animals!! anyway getting back to the cake...nevertheless things came together in the end and darren and alan loved it!! and so did others..they saw something in me and started to ask me to do their cakes! i made a group on facebook to 'showcase' my creations and lots of friends joined! it was the boost i needed!
