Thanks everyone for the suggestions. If I’d had the time putting the figures on a dummy cake would have been a perfect solution but I’m soo busy this week getting ready for Christmas. I decided just to put the figures on as requested but took photos beforehand. I just never thought I’d ever be able to make such an elegant cake so I suppose it’s just me wanting to impose my own wishes. Kathy will have her fun cake but I’ll always have my photos. lol However, should the situation arise again the dummy cake suggestion is perfect! xx
