Green fingers...

I was recently asked to create a "garden themed" cake. Here are the results....

Garden themed cake

I very much enjoyed modelling all the edible decorations, including the vegetables for the veg patch. These included carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, leeks and a wigwam of green beans. The picket fence took some time to do, but finished the cake off really well. The cake was a boozy fruitcake.
