    I was at the V&A yesterday and watched the video of you making the pig cake - it is amazing. Your baby cake is incredible too, though many people gasped when they realised it was a cake, it was a little too real! I just posted about it on my blog using one of your images, linked back to you of course, hope this is OK. Colette x
