Cake decorating - Flood iced Giraffe

Okay - so I decided to play around with my blog yesterday and somehow the background fairy logo is now stuck over my image. I am not very computer literate, so it will have to stay that way till I have time to play some more!!

A good friend and I were pregnant together. We are also God mother's to each other's little boys. I made Robyn this cake for her baby shower.  It was vanilla sponge with vanilla butter cream and caramel piped edges.

I got the artwork from a supplier of mine and I knew that Robyn had loved the clothes this image was on! I was short on time, so I did the image onto wax paper first. Once dried and cake was made and iced, I transfered it and then added some stars to finish it off.

Cake Decorating - Sunflowers

I love suflowers. The best thing about these is that they are edible! The cake is a lovely vanilla sponge covered in thick chocolate butter icing. The sides are covered in chocolate vermicilli and the sunflowers are done with butter icing, caramel and vermicilli. So easy! Hope you have a go....

Cake Decorating - Daffodil basket

Sorry for the bad pic - taken on my old phone. This is the daffodil basket made for Easter. The cake is chocolate and then iced in butter icing. The basket is made with basket weave technique and the handle is scalloped. The daffodils are made with royal icing and then placed 'in' the basket. Pity about the photo - it is really pretty in real life :o)

Cake Decorating - Bling Shoes

It seems like ages since I posted on my blog. This week has been pretty busy with looking after Oliver and other everyday things that take up your day in a blink.

Today was card class with HRH Amanda and Helen and some other very talented ladies. There are 3 of us celebrating our birthdays this month - Sharon, Amanda and myself.

I baked a yummy double chocolate cake and then iced it in delicate pink. I tried a quilted effect on the icing, but when I lifted the icing onto the cake it stretched! Lesson for next time!

A shimmer of pink glitter was dusted on top to add that girly sparkle. The final touch was a pair of sexy black stiletto's with diamante band, made out of sugar paste. Move over Kari Bradshaw...

Have a great weekend everyone
