Me and Pammy had this brilliant idea to make a Tardis cake for the last Dr Who special - wow we underestimated the task. Just to show who it all started I've included a picture before the mayhem! Also, please note you can't buy even a pallette knife unless you're 25 WTF?!?! Just as well Pammy was there!
So we got started just me telling Pammy how to make cake mix and I think I have converted her. Couldn't say enough how much she liked baking now! Soon started a production line with one being mixed, one cooking and one cooling. Ended up with 4 cakes in all for making both cakes. Once the first two were cool enough we levelled them off and jam&buttercreamed the middle to make one big rectangle cake. Looking back should have made slices and piled them up instead. Carnage ensued..I'm going to pretend it wasnt that bad and not show you the pictures.
Once that was settled we started trying to colour the icing. Emphasis on TRYING. Had ready made fondant icing and onlyhad to turn it blue, should have been easy. Took ages, got colour EVERYWHERE and had to refrigerate the icing several times. But eventually we got the icing rolled out and stuck onto the cake.
after doing the top wrong an makin it overhang we ripped it off, ate some cake early and made it again proper set back a bit. Looked pretty good, so we made the finishing touches with the windows and police box signs. Although according to Pammy it's a Police Book. See below for the finished product!
How good does this look? Sadly it wasn't to last and it slid all over the place and turned into the Leaning Tardis. 
Well it still tasted good!
