Again I was given free reign on my nieces Christening cake and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I'd been looking for an excuse to recreate this wonderful woodland cake ever since it popped up on my facebook feed and I fell in love with it.


The original design is by Little Cherry Cake Company. If you haven't heard of them check them out immediately, their cakes are incredible!! 

I love how this cake turned out but it doesn't compare to the pro. I tried my hardest but I just couldn't match those adorable woodland creatures.

Poor Reggie never made it on to the cake but he's found a home in my kitchen :D

And here's the girl of the day with what I like to think is her best fox impression. Or she's wondering when Aunty Chel is going to put a bit of that cake on her plate?

I had two cakes to make in the same week, one for my Nan's birthday, the other for my nieces Christening - so no elaborate carousels this time!

If this cake looks familiar it's because I took inspiration from the middle tier of Ad & Iona's wedding cake.



It's fair to say my cake mojo abandoned me on this one. I'd also created several white roses to fill the top but only one little bud survived. I don't know what I did wrong, the others just fell apart. Frustrating as I was intending to use them to cover the flaws in my fondant - hence the randomly placed petals.
