Postre Chaja
We started this new year with the firm promise of reducing our calorie intake... Oh, we fail so miserably! I made a traditional Uruguayan cake for a gathering with friends. Layers of syrup soaked sponge cake, dulce de leche, one baked meringue disk, sliced peaches and whipped cream as fillings. Covered with whipped cream, with baked meringues (whole and crumbled) and peach slices as decorations... I'll try to have just bread and water tomorrow!

Peonies And Lace Wedding Cake
This was a SECOND GENERATION wedding cake! A very special request from the bride - having made her parent's wedding cake. Peonies and flower fillers are made from flower paste. I used modelling paste fro pearl borders. The bride asked for peonies, rather than the traditional roses! I had never made peonies before - therefore acquired a new skill for the project, following lots of practice!!!
