The Bears Arms is a pop-up pub that appeared in my brother's flat for his birthday. He went to a lot of effort getting a friend to build a flat-packable bar, and we bought in a load of different beers and lagers from a local micro-brewery.
Since he went to so much effort I thought I'd invest some time in an appropriate cake...

Here's a micro-sketch of the cake I drew while we were at the micro-brewery. I could only find a pink pen at the time.

Once I got home I drew it out as a full size (not life-size!) template to lay over the cake for cutting to shape...

...like so.

It looks a bit cuddly at the moment, but it'll hopefully fiercen up. If fiercen is actually even a word.

Some marzipan and coloured icing later, and it's *starting* to look a bit more cross.

...and there we go. I like that he's a little bit boss-eyed :-).

As it turned out, the partygoers where a bit more fierce than the cake was. Maybe revenge for the
severed hand cake?
