It doesn't just look like, it IS Animal.

Mrs F and I had a phase where we would make people 'shaped' cakes for special occasions (simple sponge cakes, but the shape/context were important). Our best was was an embryo-cake for a newly-pregnant friend. Cake in the shape of an embryo (shape cut by yours truly), whitish/brownish icing all over, red liquorice tubes linking the cake-embryo to the placenta, which was mashed strawberries.

Do you have photos of these cakes? I have somewhere got photos of bee-hives, castles, and various other ones done imperfectly over the years. Have to say - never done an embryo cake

There might be one or two knocking around, but this was in pre-digital camera days, so prob'ly in the attic somewhere. Most were for our kids, so we had buses, dalmatians, a sweetshop, a teddy... etc etc. Made a 'jogger' one for my sister when she decided to lose some fat and get some exercise (which lasted about 2 weeks, I think).

whos doing the fozzy bear cake

 

[4F]

I'm very proud of myself.
This is the first cake I've ever made and iced myself - not counting one "I" made when I was 11 that won a prize but was really the work of my Gran!
I'm hoping the pic works.

Nice, are you going to eat it with a fork back to front ?

My other daughter has put in a request for one, fortunately I have a year to work on changing her mind!

Funny you should say that, I used the wrong end of a fork to chop the icing.

I made the beehive cake when one of mine was a toddler. The recipe said to roll out the marzipan into long spaghetti shapes. Mine was all wonky and I suddenly remembered the previous day playing with the Play Doh . Quickly got out the machine that pressed out various shapes (gave it a quick wash), and produced perfect (well better than my previous attempt anyway) long sausage shapes .
