This is gloriously sweet and cute. I can almost hear the carousel music playing…

Hi Patricia-Thankyou so much I admit I love using those colours-coloured fondant is so much fun to work with!

Hi Baby Girl-The poles would probably be the easiest part Luckily I don’t make these for finicky customers, I think they would complain that it wasn’t perfect!

Hi grace-Thankyou so much! The horses were fiddly but a part of me liked making them-sucker for punishment perhaps?

Hi Y-Thanks! Hearts always work

Hi Bean Sprout-You’re more than welcome. I’m sure with your skill you’ll do a great job of it!

How precious! A lot of steps for sure, but the results were well worth the trouble. The rocking horses worked just fine, but I wonder if you could handmake a pole to get even closer to a carousel look if you had a customer that was finicky?

Hi Sandie-Thanks so much. I think it’s the thrill of using “cute” things that has me so delighted at making these things. That and pastel fondant. I love pastel fondant

Hi snooky doodle-Thankyou so much! I tried cutting the “rocking” bit off but the horses did not look right. And no-one commented that it was the wrong type of horse which was good

Hi Barbara-Thankyou so much! If I were to do it again I think I could make it neater but hey it’s a first attempt

Hi tuulikki-Hehe thanks but you know the best thing about making it in cake form is that you can eat it afterwards! Reward for labour and all that

Hi Cakelaw-Thanks! I wouldn’t mind one for my birthday- provided I didn’t have to make it!

Hi Maria-Thanks so much, I’m so glad you like it. At first I wasn’t sure if I’d bother showing the fondant but figured that someone might want to make one and it makes it much easier seeing it in pictures!

That’s true, they do have movement to them don’t they

The cake thankfully was very moist so I was able to make it a few days ahead of time, actually 4 days which is more than I normally make cakes but it was moist inside which I was very relived to find when they cut it

Hi Blond Duck-Thanks! It was so hard to get a Carousel horse and a regular standing horse just didn’t seem right It did take ages I have to say, I was exhausted by the end of it

Hi Suzie-Thankyou! Haha I think they would probably scoff at my fondant work but thanks for saying so
