Cartoons from my childhood... He-Man and She-Ra, Tom and Jerry, Loony Tunes, Yogi Bear... and Care Bears! I can't say I was a major fan of Care Bears but they are from my era and the cake design my customer was enquiring about was a challenge of colourful proportions. And come on, who doesn't love themselves a teddy bear?
This one involved a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE amount of modelling work. Each bear was hand coloured and hand modelled, nothing was formed from a mould. Nothing against moulds, it's just that these took an hour each to do and I need somebody to acknowledge my dedication in producing seven of them in one day!
The rainbows on the other hand...
I love rainbows. The ones on my unicorn wedding cake turned out perfectly. These though... they just wouldn't dry. So unfortunately the original design was adapted a little and I had to salvage the rainbows from their squishy, crumbliness... however I think the cake turned out pretty darn good in the end.
