Love Heart Ginger Bread

I know l have posted about these before, but l don't think l have given them enough credit. I have made many many batches since posting about these, and every time l make them they seem to disappear within hours. They are delicious, light and the perfect pick me up.

I had Coopers orientation day at School this morning which included a morning tea afterwards. So me being me took some of these biscuits along!

I didn't have enough time to decorate them with Royal Icing or the patience with two little boys helping me so l decided to use fondant. I love how they turned out, everyone at the school raved about them and one lady even asked if l could make them as Wedding Favors for her Wedding.

I have just bought some more cookie cutters, so stay tuned for some more designs.

Just thought l would mention that the Choc Mint Mud Cake, was delicious and the Chocolate Ganache took it to a new level!.

I would love to hear you feedback so please feel free to leave me a message.

Enjoy!

Choc Mint Sensation....

This cake was made for my friend, I had free reign of the design and taste of the cake. So l decided to try a Choc Mint Cake, I have wanted to make one for quite some time now l can't wait to see how it tastes. I was unsure of what design to use for her cake, nothing was jumping out at me! You could even say l had designers block, if there is such a thing.

I used the Planet Cake Mud Cake and just added 2 tablespoons of Creme de menthe.
In the end l decided to go for a brown and aqua blue colour theme, I think it worked together really well.

I made all the flowers with my littler circle cutter, it took a little bit of time but was well worth it.

The party is tonight so l shall let you know you know how it tastes!

Enjoy!

Baby Rose

Well I have some exciting news, my dear friend had a lovely baby girl early this morning! She is just beautiful, they have named her Rose. My friend suffered from Diabetes whilst pregnant, so she made me promise to bring something sweet in when I visited. So when l heard the news of Rose's delivery l went straight to kitchen because if l had turned up at the hospital with nothing l think she would of thrown me out.

I made her this adorable 3" Square Cake, decorated with pink roses. She was so thankful when we arrived, but she made me promise not to upload a photo of her with the cake as in her words "was feeling not very photogenic"

The cake was a bit of a rush job, would of loved to spend some more time on it. But l was way too excited to see Baby Rose oh and of course Mum too!

Some other exciting news, I have enrolled myself into a Planet Cake Course. I can't wait.

Take Care
