Vision in blue.

I made this cake for my daughter's 5th birthday, she loves the colour blue. It is a fairly simple cake with the bow made out of fondant, rather than gumpaste.

I made these cookies with the initial of each child that attend the party, as you can see they were last minute and pretty much rushed!!

These cupcakes were also a last minute addition, I have really got to work on my piping skills!!

It's a hat trick!!

These are some birthday cakes that I made for a 3 year old, a 7 year old and obviously a 14 year old. As you can see they weren't masterpieces but there were 3 happy girls. The cakes were baked and decorated on the same day, colour and design inspiration came from the little ladies themselves.

Gold Mendhi (Henna ) Cake

This picture does not show the entire mendhi stage, however, it will give you some idea of the colour theme, gold, white and green.
This is the two tiered cake that I made for the party. I am amazed that it survived the ceremony as it had no internal support structure whatsoever! I used gold dust for the top tier of the cake. I found it quite difficult to get even coverage.

These are the mini cakes that I made to go with the main cake. I would have loved to have done more intricate designs but there was a stage to be built!

Daisy Delight!

This is a Birthday cake that I made for my elder daughter ( I have two girls) It is very simple, but I was happier with the way this one turned out, at least it doesn't look as if it is about to collapse.

Beginnings

I thought I would share one of the first cakes that I had baked and decorated, though there were many others before, i do not have any pictures. Note the unevenness of the cake, I've since learned that there are many techniques to ensure nice level cakes some of which I have acquired through reading and some that I have developed myself, which I hope to share in later posts. Also it is very evident that the cake is about to buckle in at the side, again due to uneven bases. I used buttercream to decorate this cake and fondant flower cut outs. I knew very well at the time that this cake was anything but amazing, but my family liked it, especially my daughter who was 2 at the time! ( The tray is pretty cool though!)
