LILAC FREESIA WEDDING CUPCAKE

I did a wedding consultation/tasting yesterday

giving the couple 3 flower choices

and as they never chose this one I thought I would share it with you!

such a delicate looking flower!

The cupcake is my moist chocolate recipe

with swirls of chocolate ganache.

They insisted that the cupcakes were chocolate

they were very pleased at the tasting

and booked there and then!

Such a satisfying feeling to watch people really enjoying my cakes!

You will see which one's they decided to order

later in the year after their wedding day!

Thank's for stopping by!

VINTAGE BIRTHDAY CAKE

Thursday morning I had a phonecall from a lovely gentleman 

wanting a cake for the next morning 

and I said I needed more time (after all I wasn't feeling too hot after the dentist's treatment!) 

so we agreed on the afternoon instead! 

All I was told is that she liked purple and to do what I could in the time.
He really liked it when he picked it up

....and admitted to me that he was given the task of arranging the cake and he foregot all about it! LOL!

funny that that's the second man this month that's done that! LOL!...men!!!

This is a 10" 3 layer sponge, sandwiched with buttercream and jam 

 decorated with a vintage feel.

VERY pleased with how these turned out!

MASQUERADE CUPCAKE TOWER & TOP CUTTING CAKE

Masquerade Cupcake Tower & Top Cutting Cake

This is the Ganache covered cake I showed the other day,

 Doh! 

oh well, I guess they aren't going to complain about the extra cake lol!

The Mask Topper is handmade out of flowerpaste with a sugar flower and Hot pink & turquoise feathers.

Colour theme: Hot Pink, Turquoise, Gold & White.

Cupcakes are Zesty Lemon, Chocolate & Vanilla decorated in hand painted Gold or Pink sugar Masks.

Ganache Covered Cake

As I have showed you some photo's of cupcakes

before I iced and decorated them,

I thought I would upload a cake which has been

covered with ganache.....

ready to be covered with sugarpaste/fondant.

I used to smooth the sides with a long spatular

which the results were good, but for me was a long process.

So I bought a side scraper, (which cost just a few pounds)

and at 5" long, it's just big enough for deep cakes too, as this cake is 5" deep.

It gives nearly perfect results and in very little time!

............wish I bought one ages ago! lol!

This particular cake is an order made for a

Birthday Celebration....... along with 50 cupcakes,

I shall post photo's later tonight of the decorated cakes,

I have done a version of this design before.....and it's one of my faves!

Thanks for looking!

Nicola
