Made this Wiggles cake for a little girl who is a big fan of The Wiggles. I made the car and the girl 2 weeks prior, and I am very happy with the little girl figurine. However, I am not too sure about Jeff! Stella went “I don’t thing that is Jeff, mum. But your cake looks nice”. Very diplomatic answer. I can’t agree more though. Figurines are hard to do! Now, this time covering the cake with the ganache was a challenge. There were bumps everywhere. Can’t get it smooth enough. I came to a conclusion at the end that, the cake is a hill and hills are supposed to be bumpy and uneven. This is when – “Should I take a cake decorating course” question kicked in.
Just came back from the birthday party and guess what? The birthday girl loved the cake so much. She kept on holding on to the big red car! So that really made my day. There is nothing better than a happy customer that appreciate the work that I put in!
Once again, happy birthday dear Aleisha!
caroline your cake set looks great…. im missing your cake pic the last few wks hahah.. now its backk.. *yeahhh*.. and it takes practice to cover big cake.. tips from me, make sure the buttercream process is smooth enough… and use ur fondant smoother.. that helps a lot.. dont be scared to press it smooth just like when u’re ironing.. hope tat helps.. but overall i love your cakes….. very inspiring!!

thanks so much…. as a fellow baker and cake decorator, I am sure how much works go to make the cake/cupcakes… so I really appreciate your comment!
will try to make the buttercream smoother and be pressing the cake a little harder with the fondant smoother next time…. thanks heaps for your tips!
haha yes.. appreciate comments from fellow cake decorator/baker huh..cos i know its not easy to do up a cake hahahah.. let alone to think of a theme.. yeah.. dont be scared to use both of ur fondant smoother and press it a lil hard to smooth it.. (and no usualy you wont crack it.. ) that will make ur fondant covering smoother.. smooth it as you turn ur revolving cake table around.. i know my cake isnt the best but tat helps me…goodluck ya..
