I was asked the other day if I could make an eagle cake for my good friend Nga's partner Mike.
It took me a while to visualize the finished product and my first sketches I threw together looked more like penguins and chickens rather than eagles.
The cake needs to be completed by Tuesday (2 days time) and I didn't start 'sculpting' the eagle until last night.
I will bake the cake tomorrow and have decided to make a chocolate sponge and roll it into a log. I will then try and cover the cake with fondant and try and shape it to look like a wooden log.
As you can see by the pics below, I've still got a bit more work to do on the eagle, but it needs it's drying/setting time between layers so it doesn't all fall off... fingers crossed I can make the most of tomorrow and get alot more done on it.

The people who make me - me
- Kiri's Fun Cakes
- My 4 guinea pigs... Daniel My husband. He is not the best critic because he will eat everything I serve him on a plate and say it tastes 'nice'. Nate My 17 year old son who will eat anything put in front of him. Juni My 8 year old son who is fast becoming like his big brother in regards to the amount he eats. Nika My 6 year old princess. She eats more like a little sparrow and rarely over indulges in food. She is my favourite critic as she will tell me what tastes good and what tastes great. My family Pop My dad. Although he has minimal involvement in my life, I believe he has played a major roll in the person I have become. Mum My ear, shoulder and confidant. A woman worth her weight in gold. She is always there to have a good chin wag with and has inspired a few of my creations. Then there's me - Kiri. I have always enjoyed baking. I learnt early on that the quickest way to my heart was through food which is probably why I LOVE to cook for people.
