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

Chocolate Jaffa Mud Cake Take 2



It's seems to be that in the last couple of weeks l have only baked big cakes (not that l mind), I think tomorrow l might try and bake some yummy lemon cupcakes for my poor husband who seems to think that l bake for everyone else and not him!

This cake was made for my best friend Jane's 30th, unfortunately l was soooo sick that l couldn't make it to her dinner. l was devastated, but luckily l had made the cake before l was on my death bed!

This is another version of the Chocolate Jaffa Mud Cake, the recipe can be found here. I decorated the cake with hand piped butterflies, chocolate panels and strawberries covered in white, milk and dark chocolate.

Enjoy!

Jungle Boogie.....

This cake was so much fun to make, I had free reign with the design all the client specified was that they wanted something with animals. I have always wanted to do a jungle themed cake, you would think that with two sons l would of done one.

Everything on the cake has been handmade and is edible.

Enjoy!
