Winnie 'Pooh Sticks' Cake

It's finished. I love it.

Everything on it is edible - even the bridge. However, for extra stability, the base of the bridge is has been placed on some card. The little 'Pooh sticks' are tiny pieces of spaghetti that I painted brown with colouring gel.

This is one of those cakes that, if you had the time, you could really 'play' with. For example, my 8½ year old son said the bridge should have been arched. I was thinking of putting a picket fence all around the cakes, and you could have had a sign that said "Mr Sanderz" over a doorway - which is the entrance to Winnie-the-Pooh's house. My husband said an oak tree would have looked good! Yeah, I'm sure it would... but I wouldn't know how to start! But you know what I mean? You could really have such fun 'playing' with a cake like this.

It's a good job I had three heads already made from last time I did a Winnie cake, because it takes me so long to do modelling. They're just sugar, so they keep almost indefinitely.

Here's a quick picture I took, but I'll probably take a few more tomorrow and then decide which is the best.

Right - it's gone 1.30am so I'm off to bed. The cake is being collected at 9am tomorrow!
