A lifeboat cake for a 7-year-old grandson

A lifeboat cake for a 7-year-old grandson
Having seen a photo of a cake we had made for another grandson a few years ago, this was the theme our grandson wanted for his seventh birthday. It is a bit more elaborate than the previous one - www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/51550522/in/album/1329734 , but the current batch of grandchildren have got used to rather grander cakes - or as their grandmother, who bakes the delicious sponges at the heart of things, says - dioramas with a soft centre.
It is very loosely based on their local harbour - Newhaven in Sussex.

David Slater (Spoddendale), Gillian Everett, Paolo Tanino, John FitzGerald have particularly liked this photo

Thanks, John. Having decorated two cakes for his younger sister for the 20th, this was a bit of a rush job. It is all from scrap timber and cardboard, coated in the scrapings from the bottom of a tin of white primer with a small squirt of black acrylic mixed in. My only regret is that the light is a cheap flickering battery tea-light. I couldn't find a small LED with a slow flash, like the Newhaven light has. I was most pleased with the marbled effect I managed to get with the fondant icing for the waves.
I hope you have a good time this Christmas and a happy 2024.
