Baa-kaching!

Two cakes this week, and boy did my KitchenAid get a workout whipping up some buttercream! They were both chocolate mudcake, the money bag had chocolate buttercream and the sheep's wool is all vanilla buttercream. The sheep party has 8 kids going, so the sheep has 8 little vanilla cupcake friends - how cute!

Bursting at the seams

Hayley's hens night cake is NSFW, so if you would like to see it you'll need to CLICK HERE

The cake was a gluten free chocolate mud cake with dark chocolate ganache. to make it gluten free I just use my usual mudcake recipe with Orgran gluten free flours, and add an extra egg to hold it all together. I love people's reaction when I tell them it's gluten free, they are usually pleasantly surprised, and hardly believe me. Some gluten free things aren't that fabulous, but I reckon this mudcake rivals any other.

Ty Story 3 - to infinity and beyond!

Oh Liana, why must you torture me!? I can't complain though, I did get more than enough notice for this one - months!

The latest request was for a Buzz Lightyear cake. Have I told you lately I hate doing faces? Well I don't rally hate them, I'm just not confident with them, the slightest mistake and they end up looking a bit, you know, special... It worked out ok, and I think it resembles Buzz pretty well, even if it's not perfect. I love how he's bursting out of the cake.

Inside this one is what is now Liana's standard order, white chocolate mud cake with vanilla buttercream.

Oh, and its not a typo, it was meant to say 'Ty Story 3', because it's for Ty's birthday!
