Hugen's First month celebration cake

Hugen's the name of Yvette and Jimmy's new born boy. I decided upon making toy blocks. Originally was going to make three large blocks. I was stopped as I was told they already had some cakes ordered. So I downsized to one larger block and made smaller blocks from the remaining cakes from my 20cm tins.
I baked up a madiera butter cake and layered wit lemon butter cream.
The blocks turned out nice except I few of the corners wasn't quite level. I smoothed out the cake with my cake smoother and then topped the cake with a chocolate bear. The smaller cakes were not as nice. Attempted to cover up as much as I could.
Everyone was surprised the cake was made by myself.
Took about half a day and turned out to the be the centre piece for dessert table. I am happy with the outcome.
