Jayden started to play dart with Mike a couple of months ago. He's actually getting quite good now! So, for his 9th birthday, he wanted a Dart Board for his cake. Cool, that's easy I thought, but wait - have you tried to divide a circle into 20 evenly spaced wedges? Not as easy as it first sounds. It didn't take me long to come up with a plan though. I went downstairs to the actual dart board and took a rubbing of the metal rims and with that, transferred a light indentation onto the fondant icing then iced the wedges into place and then painted them with a gel food colouring. Jayden was of course quick to point out that I had forgotten one set of the green & red rings, till I advised him I had done that on purpose, as the outer set were hard enough. He was stilled very pleased with the cake though.
Jayden doesn't usually do icing - at all. He will always scrape icing off a cake/muffin etc before eating it. He has however discovered that fondant is different and according to him - really nice (as opposed to butter cream or chocolate frosting), but, by the time he had finished the icing off his slice, he announced he really didn't have time for the cake!
