Great cake Sharon ! Can I ask how you made the support structure and body? Did you use any polystyrene? I’m due to make a similar cake this week!
Thanks

Hi Sharon, I just used fondant with a fair bit of tylo for the “hedge” and there is a dowel running from the top of the horses head right through the horses head and down through the cake. You can just about see the dowel where the horses belly meets the hedge. I am not that great on supports in cakes, I am afraid I just wing it and hope for the best but it turned out quiet sturdy even though the cake itself is sponge. Sorry I am probably not that much help :) Best of luck with it!!
