To be honest, I think I could have done it a little bit differently if I had to start now, but we all learn from our mistakes, so next time I think I will do much better. Overall I am happy with the outcome, it wasn't that difficult to make. Well, I had to "come up" with a lot of ideas how to make this and that in the middle of the making, but this happens when you've never done anything like this before.
By the way I apologise for the bad pictures, at some point my camera didn't want to put anything on focus, and no, the lens wasn't dirty. :-)
So, to start where we left yesterday:
I've painted the logo with Lightyear and the blue square in the middle.
When my son woke up today and I showed him the unfinished Buzz ,the first thing he said was " but where is his space belt?!" :-) Sooo, the first thing I added today was the belt :-) I painted everything by hand.
And there he is, ready to " get dry" :-)
I'll keep you posted on the progress of the cake.
My, my my...I have 3 cakes to make this week, wish me luck!!!
Since a lot of people are asking, I guess the links I've posted in the posts are not visible enough, so here are the instructions how to make my Buzz Lightyear cake
