This was my entry for the decorative exhibit class at Birmingham Cake International 2016. I was absolutely delighted to get a Gold for him…still on a sugar high from it all ;) I decided to make something out of my head instead of working from pictures which was kind of liberating, kind of scary and still fun! I had the horse shape made and then got scared so procrastinated a good bit before finishing it, so late nights and tantrums ensued, but I was delighted to get it done. When I went to put him on the stand I looked at the incredible cakes all aaround him and thought “What was I thinking!” I guess that the highs and lows are all part of what makes competitions the adrenaline rush that they are huh? So glad I didn’t chicken out and got it done!! Gooooold ;)

Incredible how you got a mechanical horse to have such movement and poise!
