Paint tube

I made this cake to celebrate a friend's new artistic venture - www.facebook.com/fionaspaintings. It's based on a Planet Cake design, and created using their carving and ganaching technique. The cake was home made coconut with lemon white chocolate ganache.

My hand painting isn't great

Piping gel gave the fondant the look of wet paint

The crimped end is one of my favourite bits

Modern cakes - "Herbie"

The final cake for my Modern Cakes 2 course was a car. Most of the class carved their cars into convertibles. I went with Herbie the Lovebug.

Created using a Wilton car pan, loads of ivory, red, black, blue and white fondant, and edible textas.
