Caravan Birthday Cake

Caravan Cake

This is the first vehicle cake we've made and I'm pleased to say that we managed to get it balancing on the wheels...........OK so it's not actually balancing on the wheels but at least it looks like it.  This effect is achieved with the help of a cleverly concealed block of wood (it's hiding underneath the green fondant).  The caravan is on a cake board which rests on top of the raised wood block, and a couple of dowels help keep things in place, we'd hate for the caravan to sag or collapse, not the effect we're after! 

I've added a seagull perched on top of the caravan, as you always seem to get birds tapping across the roof, especially when you're trying to have a lie in when you're on your holidays!
