Tools of the Bear Trade

March 26, 2009 at 12:41 , by [n][i][x]

Despite the rush of catching up the time before my sister flew back to London yesterday, I managed to make this after work. I’m still in disbelieve that it came out cute and all even if I was puffing and panting, running to and from the kitchen and the design table!

But more importantly, I realised that without the tools, it would’ve probably taken more time and hassle to make. So thank you, Wilton! ;)

But of course, I didn’t use all of the tools in the picture. Certainly not for this tiny bear. But it’s quite exciting, the prospects of creating what have you with devices that look like they can gorge someone’s eyes out!

I hope you had a good flight, sis. And sorry you didn’t get to keep the bear ;) (because it fell off and broke its leg as the cupcakes were still too hot fresh from the oven and melted the frosting – and the bear couldn’t sit still!) At least you get to keep the lip :D

Oh and thank you for the Anya Hindmarch! Big bear hugs!!

p/s: Bear, lip and letters all made of edible fondant. Cupcakes are miniaturised Death By Chocolate cake, with dark chocolate filling; and frosting is made of chocolate buttercream.
