This is wonderful!
How long would something such as the shoe cake take you? You are amazingly talented to produce something so special, well done!!

I have to say you are a very very talented lady, I have looked at both your sites and I am amazed at the variety of wonderful cakes and beautiful cross stitch. I couldn't really choose a favourite cake. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: These two hobbies must take up all of your time

I like All our yesterdays have only done a couple but given them away as gifts, I also like fairies and Sarah Kay but as yet have not got round to stitching any.

Your cakes are fabulous! I admire anyone who can work in gumpaste and fondant. Even though I've been decorating for about 18 years, I've never used gumpaste and I'm not very fond of fondant so I try not to use it if I don't have to. We try to do everything in buttercream icing if possible. I would love to be able to do work like that! My cakes would definitely look childish and like the work of an amateur next to yours! :applesauce: :applesauce:
