Recent Cakes.....

At the beginning of the month I had two cakes to make within 30 hours. Trust me when you are a mummy and doing parts of a cake in stages fitting in amongst keeping your house clean and organised and still doing your day to day activities with your toddler........let's just say as much as I love cake decorating as a hobby I stand by the theory that I don't think I could handle it as an 'at home' business.
However with a bit of sleep deprivation I managed to get these 2 cakes done and the recipients were very happy! :)

First up was my little cousin Charlie whose top 5 favourite colours are red, pink, purple, aqua and blue. So I made her a butterfly with all her favourites on it....

The camera alters the colour of the pink slightly. But if you are wondering "Where is the red?"....inside is red velvet cake. For the shape I simply hired the 'Wilton Butterfly' cake tin.

And you would think I would of learned from the 'Bejeweled Cake' disaster but no. I was getting ready to go to a barbeque for Charlie's birthday and had the cake in a large container ready to go when ....thud....yep you guessed it, a certain little person was very curious about what was inside the container. Thank god for the cake board fitting very snuggly into the container as the cake only dislodged slightly but I did have to redo the writing on the board and repipe some of the pink edge...hmmmmmm.....I was not impressed. More so with myself than Huddo.


Next up was a cake for my brother Thomas. He turned 12 this month and is an incredible young rugby league player. He is also a keen supporter of the Gold Coast Titans. So like the 'North Queensland Cowboys' cake I did for my cousin Harley. I hired the 'Wilton Football' tin and attempted to free hand the Gold Coast Titans logo and do a custom footy just for Tommy.

I was quite happy with both of these and more importantly that I actually got them both completed in the time I had!
