Boob Cake and my Planet Cake course dream

It's a boob cake! This was another cake for my dear friend Liana, the same person I did the first Roary cake for. This time it was for her husband's 30th. When we first organised it, it was going to be a Geeling Cats logo, but a few days before someone said to her 'But where's the boobs?' and it all started from there! We stuck with the Geelong colours and I think it came up a treat!


The shape was easy, I just baked it in my gigantic pasta bowls, and I was really pleased with the way the frills and the little bow turned out on the bra.
There's a video with some more photos and progress shots on YouTube http://youtu.be/Y5EYDvH_oKg

I hope he likes it!

Also, while I was on here I caught up with the Plante Cake Update blog. They have been on the Lifestyle Food channel and I didn't even know! Does that mean it's going to be harder for me to get into the course when I finally save up for it? I hope not! It's a little while off yet but I can't wait to do it. I like the cakes I do but I really want to hone my skills and learn some more things, YouTube how-to's can only teach you so much.





Coming soon: Christmas Cake pops and more!

Another Roary and a cake practice session

It appears that I am, indeed, mentally unstable. I agreed to do another Roary the Racing Car cake, this time it was a paying job and thank goodness it turned out ok. I had a bit of trouble getting it smooth because it was so humid, it was just too sticky. I got a message last night thanking me, which was really nice.

I did a video of it but it wouldn't upload here so I'll put it on YouTube, www.youtube.com/shanetegan

This afternoon I had a little spare time so I got out some of the left over fondant and here's what I came up with. It was the first time I had attempted frills, flowers, or funky lettering so I'm pretty chuffed really.




I have a reason for needing to practice frills, my next cake is due for delivery on Tuesday, stay tuned!
