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.

A giant chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream and fondant. The pregnant woman figure wasn’t the best and I’m the first to admit it! It wasn’t a representation of the friend I made it for, but it was my first attempt. Practice makes perfect they say!

I was inspired by the show DC Cupcakes on TLC and immediately wanted to give them a go.

The theme was pink and what better flavour is there than strawberry. The cake is a strawberry cake frosted with strawberry frosting and wrapped in a tinted pink fondant.

To go with the cake I made a mixture of chocolate and strawberry cupcakes frosted with vanilla frosting.

The Jungle Theme seems to be very popular amongst young kids. So here are my 2D version of jungle animals. They are made out of fondant (entirely edible) and the cupcakes are chocolate with chocolate frosting.
