We are very excited about the new upcoming Wallace and Gromit film launching on BBC1 on Christmas Day 2024. Featuring now in our cake gallery display window, is a large cake of Feather McGraw their arch enemy the evil penguin, that we have created to celebrate it.

To share the excitement we have created a kit with everything needed to make your own edible cake topper of Feathers McGraw. The kit includes tools, brush and all the measured amounts of modelling paste that you would need.

It’s the perfect gift or stocking filler for children or anyone who is vaguely creative. Great for entertaining children in that Christmas to new year lull (once they’ve seen the movie). Or have a go yourself.
