Horse in a field

Apparently it is possible to be a "horse-girl" even before one is big enough to ride a horse! Henriette's youngest daughter, Marie My, is such a girl - she just turned 3 years old and all she wants in life is a horse called Bruno (?!?)

I am not sure my version of a horse, which seems to be a cross-over between a cow, a donkey, a horse and a hippopotamus, would fulfill the dream in real life, but as a cake decoration is fully suffices :-)

I borrowed the cake design from my good colleague and fellow cake maker, Mai-Britt: http://www.kagerier.blogspot.dk/2012/01/heste-kage.html

Book cake

Recently my brother-in-law, who studies a the Danish School of Media and Journalism, won a poster competition for the Cultural Harbour Festival in Copenhagen, which I think is pretty impressive!

The motive he chose for the poster is abstract and very simple, and I just love it:

So for his birthday cake I thought it would be fun to use his poster motive as a book cake cover. I think it worked quite well.
