After the dramas I had getting Rapunzel together for my daughter Rebecca's 4th birthday earlier in the year, I decided that I needed to simplify things so it wouldn't be such an ordeal. After all, that's the reason I had to stop taking private orders while working full-time... work was already tiring, and having to come home and do even more cake work became too stressful to be enjoyable.
Cameron wanted a 'Toy Story' cake, so I decorated a simple rectangle to make Andy's bed. It's a bit rough by my standards, but the birthday boy loved it and that's the main thing. Oh, and in the lead-up, when I realised I was cringing every time I thought about modelling Buzz and Woody, I decided to cheat and buy plastic toys. After all, Rebecca got a Rapunzel doll to play with after her cake was done with, so it's only fair... well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!
