MONSTER number 1 cake

Phew! I'm just taking 5 minutes to sit down before I cover the monster number 1 cake that I've torted, filled and carved.

It started off as a 13" square. But a cut here and there and it's now 13" wide and about 18" from top to bottom!

It's too big to cover and then place on the board, so I've secured it to the board and now I'm about to marzipan and sugarpaste it. Not a problem - I just need to be especially careful not to mark the board (which, incidentally, is 18" x 24" - 12mm MDF which I covered with silver paper before sugarpasting).

It all weighs an absolute ton - and I haven't even covered it yet!

Right... better get on.
