This cake was for a little boy who loves Sooty!
The cake is three layers of vanilla sponge filled with raspberry jam and buttercream and covered in fondant .
The tricky part was working out how to do the rim of the hat itself! In the end I covered a thin card cake board with a thin layer if fondant and let it dry for a couple of days before air brushing it black with the cake . I then added the trimmings and the fondant figure . I dowelled the cake as I was worried the top would squash the cake down and cause it to split under the weight of the figure. The wand was a trimmed skewer covered in fondant and left to dry . Hope you like it x
