Cherry Blossom

This is an 11" chocolate cake made as a taster for someone,

firstly... I know it's very large for a taster but I needed to try out the cake tin anyway

and combined the two,

secondly... it's a bit on the shallow side because I ran out of eggs

but that doesn't really matter.

The design has nothing to do with anything really,

it's just that I couldn't bare looking at an undecorated cake

and always wanted to try this out.

RAMC Cupcakes

Hubby wanted to take some cupcakes into work for the guys,

as many of them are deploying to Afghanistan soon,

thats why some have desert camouflage fondant

and the others have cherry backing coloured fondant.

They are all topped with RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) fondant badges,

handmade by me using a mould I made.

Here is a link to show you how I made them

Wedding Anniversary

Today is our 7th Wedding Anniversary

and apparently it's year is wool or copper

so I thought I would colour the bows copper because of this!

Hubby should be happy as there are no flowers! lol!

Coffee Time Cupcakes

I am having a friend around for coffee this morning

and it would be SO rude not to make cupcakes!

These are vanilla sponge cuppies with swirls of rosewater buttercream

and decorated with red fondant flowers.
