Here is baby jack my woodland baby.wanted to take my cake making skills to the next level. His face is all edible made from gum paste. With edible decorations, body is made from chocolate cake then carved coated in fondant then airbrushed.used tooth pick to create the wool effect clothes. His arms and legs are rkt his little hand made from marzipan. Teddy is rkt coated in marzipan used sugarveil to decorate him. Loved making him I used a real blanket pillow to give the real effect.

Baby jack is amazing. How did you get the wool effect with a toothpick

You drag the fondant down stand by strand I hand painted them on to. Used fondant strips at the bottom. It creates allusions x

Ok I understand that part and it looks amazing, but how did you get the fibre look that you get when you zoom in. And how did you stop it from drying out and cracking half way through it . Thanks for answering btw

Wait, the baby’s whole outfit is fondant? His multicolored jumper too?

OMG Tanya…. you never cease to amaze me!!! I just cannot get over that wool…. I was actually wondering why you covered a cake in wool, and its fondant!!! good heavens lady!!! you are a master in realsim!!

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits

Thank you so much calli my skills are nothing compared to other cake artist. Your work is amazing I’m learning new skills all time taken a year out now I’m back creating usual cakes. Watch out for my next project. The wool effect was in fact a mistake used fine tooth pick dragged the fondant down in strips adding tiny hand rolled fondant which took over 50hrs so worth it. Thank you all for taking time looking at my work I cringe when I look at my cakes I did year ago hehe x
