wow, good job! (and i wouldn't worry about the sides of the cake, it's barely noticeable) i guess you used buttercream icing? what about the other cake, what icing did the maker use, do you know? so terror got the mane so thick, though i'm sure it's all sugar and will have the kids running around like maniacs after eating it!!

happy birthday, ken!

marie.. i'm sure u can.. :D

snowie.. i dunno wat the maker use, cos i found the image via google image.. then, i can't find the cake via the main site.. i suspect is buttercream.. look at the mane so berlambak stacking up against each other.. i used whipped cream.. the chocolate it's some chocolate ganache.. bad choice.. my cake also bad choice.. sigh.. cos i wanted to do fondant at first so i baked a richer denser cake.. later i no confidence and changed my mind.. with whipped cream the whole cake damn jelak!
