ratigan's cake:

ratigan described their cake:

This cake is (supposed to be) a balloon bunny guarding his share of the CS Birthday cake ^^. To make this cake, I used a lot of pre-made, plain cakes. I could only find ones big enough that already had icing on, so I cut off this icing before I started. I used a carving knife to shape the cake into as close a shape as I could get to a rabbit, and held pieces together with straightened out paper clips (could not find any toothpicks in the shop, so had to improvise there..). I then mixed/kneaded varied amounts of chocolate fudge icing and plain white icing to get the brown colours (gahh this stuff will never wash off my hands D: ), and rolled that out between two sheets of cling-film before laying it on the cake. I then added the finishing touches, by using a paintbrush to paint on the eye and the balloon's string with black food colouring. The rest of the balloon's string is a paperclip, and the star is made out of pink icing. The 3rd Birthday cake that the rabbit is guarding is a muffin, that I laid white icing over and painted with red food colouring. The candle was bought at a shop ^^.
