Pie anybody??

I was asked to make this a few days ago, technically not too difficult, but i think i should have added a glaze or something similar - i am happy with the end look.  I hope Matthew likes it.

Happy Birthday Cheryl and Carolyn xx

Shame on me for not making unique cakes - but i had to rush these through.  Once again Wilton nozzle 233 to the rescue. Clearly these could have been made a lot more tidier and uniform. But alright for a fun cake.

Wild Meadow and Happy Travels...

I had fun with these two cakes. I swear by my new Wilton nozzle 233 for the grass effect. I had already made pink, lavender and yellow flowers for the meadow, but my dog ate them all. So in a hurried effort on the day of pickup i made only yellow. I still think they look ok.

The suitcase final product looks pretty good - i am very happy with the straps and corners. I put myself under a bit of pressure with this cake as i thought i had a bit longer to finish both cakes. So it could have had a slightly better finish. All the same not too bad.

'Bumblebee'

To be honest - this did not look quite as good finished as i thought it might. Good colours - but the figure needed a bit more attention to detail.

Happy Retirement Dave

This is a 29cm fruit cake - very heavy.  There is almond icing on the top, then topped off with the white, red and black. I could have joined the seams a bit better I think. I am quite happy with the effect of the silver colouring.

Dynamic Dinosaur

I dropped this cake off to Callum for Ellas' 4th birthday party today.  It is a chocolate cake with a fondant volcano and buttercream icing for the rest.  I found the stegasaurus skeleton at the $2 shop - which was a great finishing touch.  This is not a tricky cake at all - it was fun putting it together - thank you Monte once again for your male perspective... very helpful.

A piece of Patchwork

This cake was finished today. It took quite a while to decorate as I had to keep emptying my icing bag and swaping nozzles.  I am really happy with the end product - however - I really must practice writing with a piping bag.  The lettering is from using cutters and although relatively neat- not as nice in my opinion as 'writing'.
