Lesley's birthday cake, inspired by a birthday card Mick gave me a couple of years ago. It is a print by fashion artist Renee Gruau and it struck me as ideal! Cake is syrup Vic Sponge 3 layered with apricot conserve and a touch of vanilla buttercream. Fashionista lady is 2D, some fondant accents and some painted. Cameo from a mould and my first go at the pleating effect. I am so happy with this cake, think it may be my best work yet!

Wowzer!! This is really something! Never would have thought of it in a million years! She is PERFECT!! The feathers are perfect. The pleats are perfect. The hat brim & pearls are perfect. The ARM is perfect! Even the cake board! Lesley must have fallen out when you gave her this one! There must be a contest somewhere , where you can enter this??? WOW!

Thank you Betty and Sandra. I think my lady may be a bit 'sexier' as I didn't do her eye big enough to get the impish look, but that's fine. I was so happy with the black fondant feathers, came out exactly as I wanted them too!
Gorgeous !!!! She's beautiful...and great cake details. Perfect !!!
Oh, this is fabulous, Katy! Your lady is prettier than the original...love the pearls! The pleating turned out pretty, too. Congratulations on a GREAT job! I LOVE this one :o)
