Elephant Themed 21St
Another one of my friends has turned 21 and she had an awesome elephant themed party to celebrate. The cake was decorated with marshmallow fondant, which gave me quite a lot of problems trying to cover the taller tiers as you can probably tell - I find MMF dries out a bit too quickly and isn't always very stretchy - a shame because it tastes so good! Apart from some wobbling issues with the top tier during construction I like the way this one turned out. Sorry it's not such a great photo!

Ruffles
Another friend's 21st - I have been planning this cake for a while and in the meantime several beautiful cakes have been posted on CC, which are very similar. I have to say I am slightly disappointed with my version! I think it needs more ruffles and I don't think I got the spacing/positioning quite right but that's what practice is for!

Just Playing
Some cupcakes I made for a bake sale - as good an excuse as any to play around with some left over fondant! I have been wanting to try making some ruffles ever since I discovered the Caketress, so I had a little go. I really like the way they came out - I will definitely try them again.

Bunting Cake
I made this cake while staying with friends in France - the oven was broken so had to buy cake from the supermarket but the only cakes I could find were long, narrow bar cakes! I cut them up and stuck them together with BC - hence the wonkiness! Sadly the picture is a bit grainy but I was pleased with the way the cake turned out.
