Pink Lamington Cottage

 This simple cake was made from pink lamingtons and pink and white fondant moulded and cut into the shapes as you see them.  The flowers were kept in place with toothpicks. It was tasty and cute.

Fire Engine

This cake is made from two 30cm banana cakes - and it has a lot of fondant so is very heavy.  It was made for a man who is a volunteer fireman. I made the side silver patterned panels a few days ahead so that they could dry out and I also made the ladders, wheels, lights at the same time, but when the panels dried they started to bend a little, hence the sticky outy bits. If I had spent a lot more time with the straight edges it would have been so much better. I have a new job and finish work at 6.00pm in the evening so I am finding it harder to fit the cakes in around my busy days and spend the necessary amount of time to perfect such things as straight edges.  I will not be doing any cakes for a wee while after next weeks fairy cake as I am having a new kitchen fitted and we need to pretty much gut out the old one.  I am so excited, this will be my first ever proper new kitchen. yay.

Minion and Man U cake

This is my standard chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream and fondant.  The twist rope is just fondant as is the hand painted football too. The Man U crest is a sugar sheet and the minions are all made from fondant. They took a few hours to make, nice though in front of the fire listening to Coast FM, my favourite radio station.
