These were cakes I made for one of my school teachers for her birthday. She had heard about my love of baking and the date of her birthday was the first thing she told my mum when they had a meeting! I was having a really hard time on the day I made these as my grandad was very ill and due to go for emergency heart surgery the next day. Having the distraction was really good :) I tried something else first but it was a massive fail so I had to do this instead.
I was pleased with how these turned out in the end but there are certainly things I would change if I did them again. The ducks were made out of fondant icing but I don't think anybody would actually want to just eat that much icing so I am sure there is a better way of doing it :/ I would also like to try and improve the faces. I think the beaks need to stick out further and the eyes should be bigger.
My teacher was really happy and shared with the class which was good because it meant we all got to have cake in lesson :D I think they could be cute for a party for a young child or something but they aren't a cake I would just make any time because of the ridiculous amount of fondant needed.
