Some of my earliest efforts.....

1. The castle for my son was the first time I used lemonade jelly for water - the boys loved it.
2. My daughter was 4 and this was the first time I made fluffy frosting - it looks a little messy - but it was nice to eat - yum. Who can resist pebbles?
3. My son turned 3 and I was pushed for time - this is just a premade cake - cut up with stuff plonked on it - thankfully 3 year olds are not too discerning.
4. A treasure map for my son - a variation on a picture - fun to make.
5. My grandson was 2 - he wanted a train cake - this one from the AWW - very popular - and lots of fun to make.
6. My daughter went horse-riding with friends for her 9th birthday - hence the horse head.
7. Ahh yes - the carousel horse - My daughter was 5 -this was the first time I had piped with butter icing. I have learnt to  slow down and make sure to cover all the gaps. Lovely colour - and loads of butter icing.

Monte and Dad have birthdays in the same week

Montes cake is a Devils Choc Food Cake, two cakes divided into two filled and covered with Ganache.  Dad loves Coffee Cake and the walnuts are fresh off the tree - yum.

Big Kids too...

I just wanted to add that my big kid friends cake photos are here to add to the blog. I am wanting to get started in making cakes and thought this was a good place to view some cakes I have already made.

Rhonda is 50 and Ian is 66

Rhondas' cake is a heavy fruit cake, while Ians' is a triple layered White and Dark Chocolate Mud cake with my first attempt at Ganache. Talk about chocolate indulgence, 750gms of perfect Cadburys Dairy Milk Choc with fresh cream. Yum. Ians' cake was decorated with White choc fudge writing and brown m&m's.

Novelties for Niece and Nephew

Salem asked for a pirate cake while Niece Freya requested a 'Carrot Cake' made from , yes, carrot cake.

Jordan turns 21

I had a ball making this cake - I whittled the drum sticks from skewers.

Amy turns 3

This looks a little nude - it was finished off with white lace and pink ribbon threaded through it.
