“It’s my second time ever using fondant, so I was nervous but I started with plenty of time and did my best to replicate the cute little characters,” she explains, “The most difficult part for me of this entire cake was the grass and getting the icing strong enough to hold but soft enough to work with the icing tip.”

“Since Bluey is still a new and there isn’t any Bluey stuff available, I found an image of Bluey online then I drew it on to a large drawing pad to get it the size I wanted, then i baked two large slabs of cake and cut out the shapes. After that I just made some butter cream icing in all Bluey colours and iced the cake.”
