My sister's mother-in-law still makes decorated cakes.
Really heavy Royal icing, plastic figures and the heaviest sponge imaginable.
Mum got me one for my 21st. My brother and I joked that we couldn't even put the leftovers out for the birds, because the cat would be in feather heaven, what with them being unable to fly away.
They were designed to be looked at. In a heavy handed late 80s-early 90s way.
When I found out she'd made one for my niece's 21st I sent my brother a text immediately (he was in the US.) I saw a photo of it. She hasn't learned any more skills since she made mine!
Sorry, I know that's nasty of me. But that's what happens when everyone just accepts your cakes are inedible.
Mine were nowhere near as gorgeous as yours, but people ate them. How wonderful to be creating edible art.
