Australia Cake

Cutting the cake into shape

Ready to decorate

   For the Australia cake I used a picture from an atlas to help me carve the right shape into the cake. The cake cut very well which surprised me a lot! Then I covered the top of it with pale orange icing. This was quite hard as the top of the cake kept falling apart as a result of cutting it. However a little muscavado sugar/sand covered up the worst. Then I arranged the pre-made animals on top of the cake. I felt that It needed a bit more so I embossed the word ‘Australia’ in red fondant and for the finishing touch, I put a white ribbon abound the cake, held on by glue and buttercream.

With the animals and ribbon!
