It’s the latest craze to hit cake makers every where. How could you not love it?!
Okay, so this is NOT the best photo I could have taken, but the cake got eaten up so fast I barely had time to snap any photos! You get the idea though.
This is the first bag cake I have made. I was so glad to have gotten the opportunity and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Yes, there are things I would change but overall not bad for my first attempt!!
For my father-in-law who is Scottish, what better cake than a 2D Glenfiddich bottle. (I’m sure the real thing would’ve have been better though!) It’s a chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache frosting, which is way better than buttercream in my opinion! I’m not sure how heavy the cake was in the end, but let me tell you it wasn’t the easiest cake to carry.
As you can tell this has become one of my favourite cakes. Instead of a cream cheese frosting which is typically paired with this type of cake, I went with a rich brown butter frosting. The result is a cake, that is not too sweet, combined with just the right amount of sweetness from the frosting. Please sir, can I have some more?
Bursting out to wish you a Happy Birthday
This was a fun and certaintly challening cake to make. The figurines of the Barney and Friends were the hardest to make. Things always dont work out the way you imagine them to. (Isn’t that always the case though?)
The main cake was a chocolate covered ganache cake covered in homemade vanilla fonant. The cupcakes, which were part of a give away bag, were rainbow cupcakes (see picture above) topped with a buttercream frosting. The rainbow itself was made out of royal icing but wasn’t as easy as I thought they would be to make. Two words – time consuming, but well worth it.
A vanilla and lemon poppy seed cake and cupcakes made for a friend’s baby shower. I stole this idea from another friend’s baby shower and then realised I had these popcorn holders. I immediately thought of putting mini cupcakes in them for giveaways. Both cake and cupcakes turned out great. I love it when everything comes together.
It’s not just an ordinary cake
From the outside you see just an ordinary looking vanilla cake and your not at all excited about it, unless you love vanilla flavoured cakes. But then you cake a slice and your eye is immediately hit with bursts of colours in the form of cupcakes.
If I were to make this again I would probably add more cupcakes to create a more powerful impact when you cut the cake up.
Seeing that it was Halloween it was very appropriate to make a pumpkin flavoured cake. I had never made it before but now its one of my favourite type of cakes, apart from chocolate that is.
‘Everything turns to shit at 60′
Made for an aunt as a bit of joke. I most certainty hope life just keeps getting and better seeing that we all reach 60 at some point. Chocolate cake frosted with whipped cream. The toilet bowl cake was covered with vanilla fondant.
