Felicity's shrewsbury cakes

Could someone please take a close-up photo(s) of the sugar loaf that comes with this? I recently got this set, which included everything but the sugar loaf. I was thinking of making one out of Sculpey, but I have never seen one because all the pictures I have seen of the set always have the loaf wrapped in the blue paper.

Thanks!

I'll take a photo tomorrow if I remember.

I'll also find a recipe I wrote to make your own sugar loaves. All you do is tape together a piece of paper with wax paper over it into a cone shape. Use a fork to mix a small amount of water with sugar in a bowl and then pack the damp sugar into the cone. Carefully tap out the damp cone onto a piece of waxpaper and let dry overnight. The cone will be very sturdy. You can make bunches of these in no time at all. Then you wrap the cone in a bit of plastic wrap to keep out moisture, wrap again in a piece of blue paper and seal with a sticker.

Tomorrow I'll find my sugar recipe, take a photo of the sugar cone and also measure the piece of blue paper.
