Aaaaw CB! Poor bear! I made a 'fairy' castle cake once for someone I worked with - their little girl - The towers collapsed and I started baking again at 2am! - couldn't let the kid have a party without a cake could I? - The second one worked thank goodness!

Was only joking Mags,what you should have done to impress ,was display it on top of the cooker,and then say ,[here is one i made earlier] opening the oven to display a beutiful masterpiece ready for icing.Fred.PtfA&G&G&S.

Wendy: If you promise not to laugh at it, sue me when it makes you poorly or anything else - I'll send you a lump! (Notice I didn't say slice...cakes of this pedigree come in lumps!) Address by pm please! LOL

Benders, I've just told a whopper on your behalf. Bec's looking for you on your thread. I told her you'd be back later - and you're lurking on here! Mags, Don't feel too badly. I made a pink bear cake for Suzy's balloon release fair last Saturday. It was a 'Guess the Weight' cake, and when the girl who won it went to take it home, its head fell off! LOL She said it tasted nice afterwards though, so that's not so bad. CB >|< X

Probably break the cannon Bec! LOL A total disaster - although Phil has just ploughed his way through a lump with a cuppa....mind you he did leave the 'crust' and a few bits found their way into the bin!
