Hi Everyone Hope you're all good !! So much change (and many months, lol) since my last blog. Starting to settle into the new house. Move in day was absolutely hectic and only made possible by the love, support and sheer hard work of my wonderful friends and family. They are the best <3 CupCake Dawn wise, well I'm baking when I can. Still in the search of perfect recipes but its fun trying them out. Come September, I have leave and hope to get the beginnings of the studio in place and complete my REHIS Food Safety Certifitcate, get my insurances and launch properly !! Can't wait. Thank you so much to everyone for all your support, love and understanding. I'm blessed to have you all in my life x I made this cake for my friend's wee girl who is celebrating her 9th birthday with a slumber party for 10 !!
So enjoyed making this cake. I'd never made a fondant/gum face or figure before these attempts so was thrilled with the results. My first time working with gum paste too. Much nicer to work with than fondant. I dyed the flesh tones for the faces using paprika paste and I think the result is great. I had so much fun with the detail, one wee dog rummaging under the bed, the birthday present behind the bed and some slippers lying about. The "bed" is a triple layer vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream and jam filling, baked in 26 x 19 cm rectangular tins. Looking forward to the next cake already :-) Wow.
Over 200 views of this site in the first day. Can't believe it. So exciting. Just wish I was in a position to go to the next level and actually do this for real. Still, every journey begins with a first step. And this is mine. All welcome for the ride, lol. Cupcakes provided x |
