Horse Cake

For my baby sister's birthday I made her a yummy replica of her beloved horse Nico out of chocolate and cake.

I learned SO MUCH from making this cake! Before I made this I had never:
- worked with modelling chocolate
- sculptured a 3D model
- made my own stand
- tried anything so complicated!

For a first attempt I think it went really well (although I'm already planning improvements for next time) and I hope someone wants another one soon!

I'm so glad I set myself this challenge for my first cake of 2016; this time last year I never would have been able to imagine making something of this calibre - I was still just planning to open a cake pop business at the time! I really hope that this time next year I will be able to look back at this cake and shake my head at how basic it was in comparison to the rest of my accomplishments this year.

Here's to exciting orders for 2016... Please!

My next post will show the making of with all the intricacies behind the sculpture.
