 Competition cake chroniclesThis week I’ve been starting to put together the cake and characters I’ve been working on over the last few weeks.

I wanted it to look like a model car so I had to keep that in mind. It took me 3 days to complete which is far too long but for my first one i wanted to go slow and see h...
