A thing of beauty, with a plywood top and base, and papier mache surrounds. There is even a little flashing light on top, powered by a 9-volt battery! The inside is, of course, stuffed with lollies.
Trying to get some color in without having to do color changes. As I typed that I realized how easy the color change in the bobbles would be. This guy is 6" compared to the 18-20" of the previous two.

Jelly Babies are an essential part of a Dr. Who TARDIS Cake.
In Amanda's words:
"I take each jelly baby and I Sylar-ize it first. Then I cut them off at the neck, then the chest, and then the waist."
Jelly Babies made an appearance in the Season Three finale.
Day 78 of 365 - ... just upload your son's drawing then. Not funny, or clever, or nicely worded, but true :-) I was woken early by baby, so caught up on Flickr. I was then free to give my children 100% of my attention and, stay home as they'd asked - sooooo much more tiring than being out and about! Today my son entered his first ever drawing competition. He gave it so much time and attention and was getting prouder and more excited with every stroke of the pencil, really pushing his abilities to the max! He went from thinking he had no chance at first prize, to believing he really could win. I photographed his masterpiece, emailed it off and haven't the energy to push my own abilities.
'The doctor’s red-rimmed eyes and hazy mind saw a miracle then. Across the floor of the amphitheatre came charging two young children. They were the children of his dream. And the dog was there too, the little dog, yapping and yapping and yapping. The two human children were shouting and howling as loud children were shouting and howling as loud as they could and all the Sensorites fled in agony, holding their hands over their heads.
'He got to his feet and the two children helped him up, the dog scampering at their feet, barking excitedly. They made their way through the short underground passage and came to the place of the porthole. There were other Sensorites there and the humans tottered over towards them, yelling and shouting like wild things. The guards fled from them as from a plague.'

This is the bottom of the cake. You can see the weird colorings, which are melted Jelly Babies. The melted Jelly Babies made this one of the most moist cakes I have ever had.
'They came to the great amphitheatre through a narrow underground passage which was the only way out of the bright place of the metal floor. They saw the human figure stretched out on a circular dais at the centre and Tony cried out in excitement. “That’s him,” he cried. “That’s the old man in the laboratory in that telephone-box up there. Now we’ll be all right.”
'Butch was first there and Dr Who roused himself from a stupor to find himself being licked in the face by a dog! The utter strangeness of this in this unearthly place roused him to complete wakefulness. He stared with red- rimmed eyes at the two children. “Goodness gracious me!” he muttered. “What have we here? I’m in a delirium. It’s these two confounded suns. I’m dreaming, that’s it. These are phantoms of a nightmare. I’m dying and these are my last thoughts. Earth is so far away and I’m dreaming of the lovely, homely things of Earth, of children and of dogs and…”'
