Character Cakes

First there were character cakes, but now there's more!! Check out my fondant covered cakes and all my other cakes.

Character cakes are NOT made with a shaped pan.I make a stencil the appropriate size in photoshop and illustrator and then print it. I use this to cut the shape of the cake. Thus, unlike a pan cake, the tops of the cakes are flat and the sides perpendicular to the surface and most important of all I can produce any picture I like!
