This 4 tier cake was a massive challenge not only because I find fondant figures hard to make but also because I knew I would have to take it on a 2 hour journey to get it to the venue. I was so nervous the whole way but luckily my husband was driving and he was a very calming influence.

The 3 top tiers are vanilla sponge and the bottom is a fruit cake.

I adapted the ‘pregnant woman topper’ and male topper tutorials by the Artisan Cake Company (on YouTube) to make my figures. I would highly recommend these tutorials to anyone struggling with figures as I found them to be immensely helpful
