Another cake decorating question

Its Max's birthday next month and would love to do a toy story themed cake. Any decorating ideas greatly received! Not really eperienced in the whole cake decorating thing...

Personally I would be tempted to get one of these and make the cake below:

TOY STORY-BUZZ LIGHTYEAR Cake Topper edible icing sheet on eBay (end time 20-May-10 18:25:22 BST)

I would possibly have a go at doing figures in modelling paste but it sounds like a hard one with no/little previous experience !?!?!?!

Of course what I have suggested takes the thrill of the challenge out!!!!

Hi djmc1812,

I have found this site that, explains how to make two versions of a toy story cake:

Toy Story Cake

and another one called Cartoon Birthday Cake Buzz Lightyear

I hope this helps,

If not then I would suggest buying a basic cake decorating book, I bought this one and find it very useful on sugar paste moulding:

The Home Guide to Cake Decorating

Good Luck,

Fred AK

The Ice Lolly sets will be in Babies R Us stores soon but there have been problems with stock issues so apologies for the inconvienience. The whole Make It Easy range will be available in ASDA and Wilkinsons in July.
