Alices Birthday - Rose Cake.

My good friend Alice's 19th birthday. Her and Kitty and I went out for a meal in Evesham, went for an Indian so I decided to make her a cake! Decided to give the sugar roses a go after seeing a "how to" video. They were fairly simple, came together really well, I think it's one of those things where the more I do the better they'll be.
So I just made a simple cake and hand painted the writing and scroll on it. Was really quite proud of it actually. Kitty is allergic to Gluton so she couldn't eat the cake but she did enjoy a sugar rose.

This was made on 9/8/11 - whilst all of the riots in major cities were going on. I would just like to say to everyone who rioted: yes there are lots of problems with goverment cuts at the moment, lots of problems with this country, and things are really hard right now. But for Gods sake, this is the time to pull together, not turn on your own community on the people on your street. You still have the right to free education, be smart, do something constructive.

Megans 7th Birthday,

Eugh! This cake was a flippin' disaster. Had NO time to do it whatsoever or the resources. Went out and bought all the stuff for the cake but the supermarket didn't have much interesting in as far as decorative bits go. Apart from that I'd totally forgotten that my piping bag had broken so I had no piping bag.
Also I only had the day to do it so the cake was far to fresh to carve. The whole top layer just crumbled. It looked such a mess!!
None the less I just overly decorated it to try to distract from the mess. Without a piping back it was a bit of a job. Got covered in icing and my quilted effect didn't really work. know what to do for next time. But this one just looked crap.
Meg and Jo liked it though. And all the kids at the party were impressed though.






I did however get to paint an awesome mould at the Honeybourne Pottery. In amongst the kids painting away. I chose a pirate, it was meant to be a boy but I wasn't having that! I painted her to be a girl! Isn't she awesome?!
