Grandad's Little Girl! on Cake Central

This design hasn't made it to the top of the cake yet but it will! There are other little bits and peices to see on this design but I thought I would share the close up for now. You can see more of it on Flckr which can be accessed from my extra icing blog if you like! :o)

I absolutely love you cakes! I have a question for you. How do you store your figures until you are ready to use them on a cake. I want to make a figure to use on a cake in a couple weeks but i don't know how to store it until then.

Questions answered:- no I don't dry each part separately. The paste has to be pliable in order to shape and form and glue into the position I want it. The paste begins to dry quickly so time is precious doing these. I store these toppers on a shelf under a work top out of sight and harm until ready to place onto the cake. I have a studio that allows me to do this, keeping family well out of the way! :wink:

I thought I had already commented on this, but I must not have. Amazing as always. I recognize your work as soon as I see it. I love how you do the mouths. It must be so tedious to get those tiny teeth in there!
