So I am pretty sure that I made my favourite cake today...Toopy & Binoo on their blue couch, complete with colourful balloons and Patchy Patch! Since all 3 of my kids went through this stage (obsessed with T&B), I really enjoyed creating this one for Haydain's 3rd birthday. I'll get a picture up here soon enough although there is one on my facebook page that I uploaded from my cell phone.
Can't wait to get started on my Harry Potter cake, also for Saturday! I just made my first batch of modelling chocolate that I'm hoping is easy to work with. It was 11oz of chocolate (I used white chocolate wafers from Bulk Barn) melted and then mixed with 1/3 cup corn syrop. Sounds pretty simple right? Cake Boss is always using modelling chocolate so it's gotta be easier than gumpaste I figure. Gumpaste dries quickly & very hard whereas the modelling chocolate seems to be more pliable yet firm.
I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks for checking in!
