Stuff yer bake

Here are a couple of cakes I've made recently. I think the lighthouse was the hardest. I made it with an old toilet roll but it was difficult to get it to look neat. It looked o.k in the end but I may need a little more practice to perfect my sugar craft skills.



The second cake was for a fifth birthday party for twin boys.

I was asked to do a cake for someone in work whose aunt had been living with her for some time, due to illness I think, and was now going back to her own home. It took me a good few days to decide what to do but I noticed a magical house cake in one of my cake books and thought I could base it on that. I think it worked out quite well and the recipient actually cried when she saw it, so I'm taking that as a compliment (or a huge insult!). The next one I'm doing is for a friends' little boy's second birthday and I'm going to attempt to do a cake themed on Pingu, wish me luck!
