A grand piano birthday cake for my dad. The lid, stand and base are made completely of chocolate - yum!
I was asked to make a birthday cake for an old friend's boyfriend. She asked if I could make a 'Meerkat themed' cake as her boyfriend is a big fan of a particular character on a British TV advert. As I'm still new to cake decorating I jumped at the chance to be creative and get more practise. I still have a long way to go, but I was quite pleased with how this cake turned out. I am still having issues with the sugar paste cracking up though. Any tips on how to avoid this happeing in future?
My mum had just returned from a trip to Australia, so I made her and 'Aussie hat' cake for her birthday. I used an old cardboard envelope covered in foil and then green roll out icing (I didn't quite have enough, so it was stretched too thin!) to make the brim. I wanted the brim to look quite floppy. The corks are made of marzipan and are attached to the brim with string. Mum was delighted (she really liked the little koala and I think it now lives on her mantelpiece).
A silly cake I made for my boyfriend's birthday. I kind of made it up as I went along, but I was pleased with the end result. My boyfriend enjoyed it too!
