Grandson's 5th birthday cake 10 12 2021

The brown and yellow fondant icing covered one of my wife's excellent sponge cakes. The drainpipes made from confectionary bootlaces were laid in a trench cut in the sponge. The walls and floors of the partly constructed buildings were chocolate wafer biscuits. The rest of the scene was formed from foam insulation sheets. The cardboard skips were later filled with sweets/candies for our grandson's school friends. The crane was made from tilers' edging strips, with its cabin made from Tic Tac boxes. The trucks and diggers were borrowed from his own toybox.
