The Tammy

This cake is for my friend at work who approached me a couple of weeks ago with a big smile and simply said "It's my birthday on the 14th and I'll be at work." I had this strange feeling that she wanted a cake.....LOL that's for sure - so I named this cake after her.

The  inspiration for this cake is her wedding. She had originally talked about one of the tiers for her wedding cake to be covered in chocolate shards but I think they ended up choosing a fondant covered cake so I  thought it would be noice to go with the original theme for her birthday cake.

Red velvet sponge with smooth cream cheese filling. Covered in whipped fresh cream with a hint of white chocolate and of course, decorated with shaved white chocolate and white chocolate shards.

Choc Vanilla

 Vanilla sponge filled with homemade chocolate mousse. Covered in creamy chocolate ganache and decorated with piped ganache, chocolate curls and chocolate dipped strawberry halves. Happy birthday Blake!

Princess T's 18th Birthday Cake

This cake is for a friend's daughter who is turning 18. The main cake and the cupcakes are made out of chocolate sponge cake with chocolate ganache filling, covered in marshmallow fondant. The leopard spots are handpainted and the main cake is finished off with fresh roses and a cake topper.

Rugby Field Birthday Cake - my first themed cake

I loved putting this together - it was my first themed cake so I stuck with the basics. Didn't really feel like fudging it up by experimenting too much seeing as it wasn't for me.

I stuck to the original plan and kept the 
blackforest flavour for the cake - chocolate sponge cake with cream and kirsch soaked morello cherries.
The grass was made out of green crumble and the goal posts were made out marshmallow fondant, I had made another set initially, but the sports expert of the house gave an honest (and appreciated) opinion that they were too wonky to be goal posts - they were binned and I used rulers and smoothers for the next set. The field lines and the piped shells were made out of cream cheese frosting.
