Watering Can Cake

Watering can cake

This is one of the most recent cakes I have done. I'm definitely learning new things with every cake I do but I think there is a long way to go to get the refinement that I'm after!

Fell runner cake

Fell runner cake

This is another cake that I baked for a friend of a work colleague. Quite a simple cake but effective none the less. I have an order for another one to bake this week which will be a real challenge. It's a dinosaur but standing upright, so getting the shape right and also keeping it sturdy will be somewhat hard. Watch this space!!

Horse cake

Horse cake

I haven't done a cake for anyone in a while so I had a few mishaps with this one, mainly because I forgot I was doing it and wasn't even slightly organised. I got the idea for the cake from Perfect Party Cakes, as I thought it better to follow something relatively simple with not much time left to do it.

It turned out quite well in the end, though and the recipient was happy so I wasn't too worried. I'm sure I will get back into the swing of things soon.

Pingu cake

Pingu cake

This is the Pingu cake I've been working on for a little boy's second birthday. I was also given the added task of making it gluten and nut free, arrrgghh. I did, however, find a recipe that was just that. The actual recipe was for a lemon drizzle cake that used ground almonds but it suggested using polenta instead of the ground almonds for a nut free version.

I knew I wanted to make an iceberg and that came out quite nicely but I'm still not altogether happy with my modeling of animals and people. I feel I need lessons as I don't think I'm getting the consistency right with the paste and I'm not even sure I'm using the right products. Anyway, let's just say that Pingu is genetically modified or maybe his appearance has something to do with him eating contaminated fish, same goes for Robbie the seal. The next project is my cousin's three tier wedding cake that I have to transport across the Irish sea in four weeks time, wish me luck.

Cakes galore

Birthday cake

I've had a couple of orders for cakes recently and this is a picture of one of them. It's a lemony Madeira cake sandwiched with raspberry jam and butter cream icing, which went down very well at work. I am definitely getting better at icing sponge cakes after the disaster of the first one as it went on neatly first time and I didn't have to go through three Kg of sugar paste.
