Well finally here it is.. the disaster that almost didn't make it. This is for my father in laws birthday today. First bow attempted following the tutorial on cc was a disaster. Also the colour came out Terracotta instead of dark brown. Fran saved the day and recommended I use chocolate fondant to get the right brown. Yeah fran. But even with additional info on bows it still didn't come out right, it is still very soft... needless to say not happy. I guess we learn from our mistakes.. better luck next time.
# 2 view. Dark Chocolate mud sheet cake Covered in ganache, for a 30th.Party theme was GOLD as first name translated means GOLD and surname is HAMMER. Originally she wanted me to have a FLAT edible image made and just lay it on the top of the cake. She provided me with image that a graphic artist friend made for her. I suggested a 3d of some sort. We made the hammer out of fondant with gum trag and my hubby clever lad that he is hand painted it all edible and non toxic set solid... may crack teeth. lol
Inspiration from that wonderful wilton cover... Its just gorgeous.. This is only a 6 inch square mudcake filled with ganache for a very special teachers birthday.

Well tonight I had the night off work ( I surprised my DH and Children) to attend a Welcome BBQ function at our school. Whilst my children were excited my DH was not so thrilled.. WHY I hear you all ask??? Well he had been working on various bits over the last few days and he was putting together a cake for me tonight for Valentines day which is in just a few short hours here in Australia. The cake is a 6 inch Caramel Mud cake (Nati. Ever since you gave us this recipe I have been addicted to it).

These were the leftovers from the bratz petal cake just listed. Best not let things go to waste.
Yet another order for a bratz petal cake, this is the 3rd petal cake I have done recently with an edible image, easy to do and what the customer wanted so can't ask for more. Lemon buttercake with buttercream frosting. Small plaque with gumpaste lettering
I call this one a "leftover test cake" because we have an order coming up for a recipe we had not tried, so we needed to test it (not short of taste testers in our house) and we had loads of leftover buttercream in all sorts of colours from past cakes... best not to let them go to waste... hence the bad colour combinations...but the kids will eat and test all the same.

I recently posted 2 versions of this xmas fruit cake that I was making for family and friends. Feedback has told me that many people don't like the word Christmas shortened to Xmas for various reasons and beliefs.... so with help from a fellow cake mate we decided on "joy"
