Sugarcraft Animals

My second cake decorating lesson and had loads of fun. It was a welcome break as I am in the midst of writing two essays then moving on to the scary dissertation!I learnt loads of interesting techniques and cant wait to practise them at home.

We made a panda first and he was to be the biggest of all our four animals. He was fairly easy to make though I drew one of his eyebrow far too low, it gave him a ‘THE ROCK’ eyebrow lift…

Then we moved on to the lion. His mane was so much fun to make, making little spaghetti strands of different shades and positioning them on his tiny little head. I think the lion was my favourite!

Next,  we moved on to making an elephant. I called her Ellie the elephant as she looks a lot like the elephant character in Pocoyo. The fun bit was when we get to put a little bit of pink sparkle on to her cheeks – she has blusher on!!

Last of all, we made a monkey and he was the most interesting! We even made up a little story for his surprised expression. He is happily eating his banana and a coconut fell on his head! Hence, the surprised mouth and the closed eyes! hehehehe

We then made little tufts of grass,some pebbles,  a banana for the monkey, a bamboo shoot for the panda and a little pond in the middle of the cake board. I even made a little splatter right infront of Ellie the elephant and here they are all together in their happy home.

It was such a fun and relaxing day! My sister is already planning a safari themed birthday party for my little nephew next year so I can start making the little animals now!! Hehehehe
