Thanks so much! We did. :) She still has another week of antibiotics left, but she's definitely feeling like herself again. Thanks for the good wishes!
I am reminded of our smoke-breathing dragon (you put an incense stick inside it). And of the smoke-breathing adaese (you put a liquid-nitrogen-filled biscuit inside her).
Sweeeet! Yes, the construction details do detract from the cake aspect, but how on earth would you get wings that spread out any other way?! Looks great.

And as to your question its what I think is the right name for the hard icing my mum used to use on christmas cakes, before she went to an evening class and got all sugar pastey etc
