This was hard work, but I enjoyed it....the order was for a ten year old girl, who was a fantastic horse rider, and rode Icelandic ponies. She is not very girlie girlie, and loves the outdoors...

I looked up pictures of Iceland and also of Icelandic ponies, and created the cake above....the pony was hard work, and I wish I had made a wire frame for the legs, so it could have stood up unsupported, but I like the details of the waterfall and the unusual shape...I used a marbled fondant technique for covering the cake, and liked it so much I wanted to make it visible. I also liked the cut out of the horses head...so all in all I think it turned out well.

I hope the birthday girl thinks so too!
