Happy Anniversary To Me!

Happy Anniversary To Me! on Cake Central

I had this cake on display in my studio window when I celebrated 1 year in business last year. The small cake was painted using pink lustre dust mixed with confectioner glaze and alcohol to give a varnished look. The candle is made from sugar too so it couldn't be lit! It was a bit of fun and the characters are meant to be me making the cakes and my daughter taking orders for me....she abandoned me shortly after this to go and work part time in a pharmacy....I wasn't paying her enough!

The eyes are made from circles of sugarpaste. The lashes are painted with paste colour and alcohol mixed and applied with the finest of brushes.

I am just amazed everytime I look at one of your cakes. I had trouble going to sleep Sunday night because I was laying in bed thinking about them. I can't wait for my Debbie Brown books to arrive!

Answer to redhead question: intense red from a bottle! This will not be the case over the next few weeks as I'm having a change of image! Re: my business, I celebrated 2 years in May 2006. I started the business after 13 months of cake making and decorating when the hobby got out of hand!
