Valentines Cake
I made a chocolate fudge cake. The middle of the cake and the bottom layer of the top is chocolate soft cheese butter icing. The hearts are thin painted fondant in red, purple, black and silver. The middle twin hearts have edible shiny shards on the top. I made it for my husband and for all of us in the family to enjoy.

American Chopper Birthday Cake
It's my father in law's birthday. He loves the programme american chopper, so I copied an image and painted it onto icing using edible silver. This is the first time I have used food paste colour painting onto icing and the first time using liquid silver. I just need to add candles! I made a 1/2 lb pound cake as he loves fruit cake and used icing sparingly as he isn't a fan of it. How else do I paint it?!

Treasure Chest Cake
For my oldest son's 4th birthday. He had a pirate party and I made a chocolate treasure chest cake. I used the chocolate MMF and it's ace! Thanks for all the advice - I rubbed the shortening on the fondant after rolling out on icing sugar so I had a nice clean shiny finish! My son clapped and the other kids were wowed by the cake and the chocolate coins inside!

X-Mas/birthday Cake 2009
We didn't spend x-mas day at home, so I made this cake 3 days later. My oldest son's birthday is new year's eve and my husband doesn't like x-mas cake, so I made our much beloved Mary Berry Carrot Cake and my son and I decorated it. Thier slices were eaten very quickly! Carrot Cake really does sound healthier than it is! The topping is the topping for the cake- soft cheese butter icing - really yummy!
