I know Fiona got the idea for Chiara's one from good old Google - sometimes Google IS your friend   -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Oh you're right it is!!!
Now I just need to decide between these (sorry for the pic heaviness!): 
I absolutely adore that last one (the Noah's Ark one) but fear it looks a bit too tricky  -------------

I love them all!  the Samuel Jack or the two-layer cake with teddy on top look the easiest to me and very nice! ------------- Mum to Hayley **30.6.08

The second to last one looks great and not too tricky ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

So there are better photos coming - I'll put them in the photo gallery when they're ready - but in the meantime here are a couple of shots of the cake I eventually made. I was inspired by that Noah's Ark one but I'm not nearly as handy with fondant icing as that so I made a chocolate shortbread house with lollipop windows to go on top, and used some lollies and a packet of iced animals for decorating it.
