Shaun the sheep 50th Birthday Cake: The theme of this cake was born out of a request from daughter Chloe for her Mum Nicola to celebrate her upcoming 50th Birthday.
I was told Nicola had a love of native wild flowers and was also a big kid at heart and loved Shaun the sheep ( and a little wine on the odd occasion lol).
I just love the fun aspect when creating a cake and this was certainly a lot of fun to make, not just because of the jovial theme but also as I had a helping hand from my daughter, she is close friends with Chloe and very much wanted to lend a hand…..which was fantastic as that ‘balled’ sheep fur effect was extremely time consuming so WELL DONE Ashton.
I’m not very experienced in sugar paste flowers so this was nice to be able to try a few different things….they are kind of ‘fantasy’ flowers as they are not true to scale or nature but I was still happy with the over all effect and the main thing was so was Chloe’s Mum ‘Nicola’…..the cake had to survive a 4 hour drive south to where the celebrations were being held….apparently Shaun the sheep broke a leg but was easily repaired on arrival 🐑
