Happy Birthday, Alan!

And I have to love this cake...! Hand painted, and then outline with black Royal Icing. I prefer to work with Buttercream for most of my cakes, but for this kind of design, Fondant works best.

How to train your dragon?

Well, I fell in love with this story: "How to train your dragon". I even went to see the movie! Hiccup and Toothless... Lovely characters!
