Tigger Cake

A Tigger Cake for my grandson's 1st Birthday!

 You can see on his face he was in deep thought while eating this cake.

Gorgeous little Birthday Boy!

I started with orange gumpaste. I formed a head, ears, legs, body, arms and a tail. I took a wood skewer and inserted into the body so that I could attached the head.

Next I took the head and cut an opening for the mouth.

I then added yellow gumpaste.

Here I added a light pink nose and tongue.

Then two little black eyes and brows.

I attached the pieces together with a little water and then added stripes.

 I gently presse the head onto the wood skewer that I had interested at the first. Then I painted some toothpicks black and used them for whiskers.

I made a little party hat and present for Tigger. I also made a large fondant bow for the smash cake.
