It's My 40Th - Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Don't Tell Anyone!!

It's My 40Th - Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Don't Tell Anyone!!

So today I turn the big 40 !! I wanted a cake that was big and crazy much like me! Bottom tier is chocolate fudge with lemon BC, middle is lemon sponge with chocolate ganache and top is chocolate raspberry with fudge BC. After eight mint squares around the base of each tier and chocolate shards (which I made with my Girolle Ruffler - fantastic bit of kit if you work with lots of chocolate). Cake topper is meant to be a fondant representation of me but slightly resembled a blow up doll ha ha LOL

Golden Motorbike!

Golden Motorbike!

This is a cake for a lovely couple's Golden Wedding Anniversary. When they started dating, they went everywhere on a motorbike and sidecar hence the top layer. The writing on the first layer says "Still riding life's highway together" which I thought was such a nice sentiment after 50 years together. Bottom tier is a dark chocolate fudge cake, top is orange and lemon cream. Fondant covering and figures, everything edible apart from the wires.
