Update II

Well. I made my daughters birthday cake, and I don't think it looked *too* different to the inspiration cake. I was pretty over the restaurant bringing it out in the plastic box I brought it in. I thought (as they were charging 'cakeage') that they would at least put it onto a plate and bring it out ready to sing happy birthday to. Fuckers.

 ^The cake.

^The sorting of M&M colours and sizes. Fun. Not.

^Christmas place settings for the kids. One christmas cup, one Daryl Lea chcocolate pop, a Daryl Lea candy cane, a Christmas tree lollipop, a box of smarties and a freddo frog.



^Then wrapped them in either red or clear cellophane and green and gold curly ribbon.

Simple, but better than shitty crackers!

Updatish

Okay, so I finally got around to uploading the latest photos. So this is a photo update :)

Above we have the first stage of the "Dragon Eggs" for the Egg Hunt. Water balloons covered in Papier mache - layer method.

Above we have the glue that I made to stick it all together

Above we have the eggs drying. We have yet to apply the papier mache sculpting layer (pulp papier mache method). Hopefully get around to doing that next week.

And here we have the first trial at making a KitKat Cake. I had to saw the KitKats in half as they were way too long (I bought the wrong ones). But all in all an easy exercise and a tasty endeavour. Will upload pic when I do the 'real' one for mums birthday.
