More Cakes! Sonic and Astroboy
A few weeks ago, my soon-to-be-brothers-in-law (twins) celebrated their 27th birthday, with family and friends. Things were getting a bit hectic, so I volunteered to make the birthday cakes. Using the same recipe as my engagement party cake for the base, I went about constructing one for each of them, crafted as some of their favourite characters from their childhood – Sonic and Astroboy. The icing was a combination of butter-cream icing, and royal icing (eyes). The fancy effect on the butter-cream icing was achieved by curdling the icing first.
There really isn’t much to report, but I do have the precious photos, as I’m rather proud of my work.

Sonic for Michael…

…Astroboy for Aaron
