About my cake making

Oh what a night

Standard

It’s comic relief day. I said I would make cakes…so at 4pm after I had been shopping for butter, I started in earnest.

I decided I would also make some biscuits but decorate them in a flooding technique, which I watched only that morning. Here it is if you fancy trying> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9wEILJshpU.

Anyway I did those first as it would be chilling for an hour (wish I was). I then started on the chocolate cupcakes then the vanilla cupcakes. Then back to the biscuits.

Got to bed at 20 past 11. Then I woke up at 2.30am because my biscuits were crying out ‘give me a face’.

Up at 6am to finish off by putting faces on chocolate ones. Hope it’s all worth it and they raise lots.

Mother’s day Cupcake

Standard

p>I went to Cake International in Manchester, and although not as big as Birmingham  I still found some inspiration. Trend seems to be stencilled rolling pins, which I did not buy as on pricey side.  However did buy a mould which I used to decorate my Mother’s day cup cake.
