My busy week of baking
The bank holiday totally threw me
this week – you can tell I’m new to blogging ha-ha! So this is a little late but
never mind!
Here are the 3 last minute cakes
I was asked by friends and family to make last week! An 18th, 21st
and 60th! Thankfully they were all fairly
simple designs so I could squeeze all three around work/volunteering/mum
duties!
The first is this simple 18th
for my cousin’s boyfriend. It may be a simple design but his grandma shed a
tear of joy when she saw it! That makes it all worthwhile... I used to think in
my early days it was a lot of hours put into a cake to just be cut up and eaten
but to be honest if it makes someone smile and even go as far as shed a tear
then all the work is worth it.
The next was a 21st
birthday for a member of my hockey family. I was just asked to create a simple
cake, possibly with a golf theme. I was going to go simple like my above cake
but to be honest it didn’t take too much longer to colour the fondant and make
it golf themed. The golf balls are large sprinkles from my local cake shop and
the grass is a fun little technique I developed using a (unused for anything
but icing!!) garlic press!
Finally a repeat of my recent
giant cupcake for my work mate Tracey to finish off the week! Again a fairly
simple cake, lots of chocolate fingers and butter cream - yum!
