Karen in Lucan ordered this cake for her son Tom’s first birthday.  I had made Tom’s Christening cake and his older sister Amelia’s birthday cake too – it’s lovely to have repeat customers!

Little Tom loves watching Raa Raa the Noisy Lion on CBeebies.  In order to be able to make the little model correctly, I had to watch a couple of episodes and ended up singing the theme tune in my head for about a month!!  I carved a square cake into the number “1″ and then made little Raa Raa and his cubby buggy with its watermelon wheels from modelling paste.

Below is a closeup of Raa Raa in his cubby buggy.
