Jonty's Fire Engine

I am certainly pleased I put the time into the detailing of this fire engine because when Jonty came over to get his cake, he certainly gave it the once over. It seemed to pass muster. Once again the new extruder came in handy with making a long, long hose to come out of the engine. I made the ladders out of gum paste at the beginning of the week, so they had nicely hardened by time they were needed to put on the engine. Everything, apart from the ladders, was edible on this cake.
