My "action" contract

It's taken a while to be able to face blogging about my (Martha's) Tony Abbott cake - the experience was vaguely disturbing for all involved, including the birthday girls and boys who were the main beneficiaries of his chocolate tastiness.

There's just something really wrong about eating the Liberal leader... *gag*

On the bright side, I did get to give my stupidly expensive, collectors edition "Edward Cullen" Barbie (complete with sparkly torso skin) an Abbott-esque makeover. Which largely involved painting on red budgie smugglers, trimming his hair and sticking it to his sparkly, well-muscled chest. And then trying to avoid eating that hair as it fell from his body to the frosting.

The cake was the AWW's Crowd Pleaser Chocolate Cake and the inspiration for the design came from my old favourite, Cake Wrecks. Something I should point out at the beginning is that i could not find, anywhere, a regular Ken doll, nor the reclining "hey bebeh" style doll that the Cake Wrecks feature.

There's not much more to say apart from here are some pictures (the white thing is the bearskin rug!). In order to make him look like he was reclining, we actually dug his arm into the cake after it was iced.
