Royal Icing

Phew Roayl Icing is tricky.
I just finished a 2 day course in royal icing at Squires Kitchen in Farnham. I think I may need to practise a bit (christmas cake anyone?). This was the cake we made in the 2 days and due to the time constraints we could only do 1 coat of icing, it would be much smoother with 2... and it's decorated for someone's grandma.... 30 years ago. But still lots of techniques practised which was the aim of the day.

Shh She's Seeping

Cake 3: Shhhh She's Sleeping.

A Little yellow fairy asleep under a toadstool with lots of daisies about.
First time I've modelled a figure out of sugar paste, probably should have chosen something a bit easier first but I think she came out well.

Cake-a-saurus

Cake ONE: Cake-a-saurus, a big blue spotty dinosaur

(I'm sure it will be pointed out that dinosaurs are not blue and didn't have yellow spots, but I don't mind.... this is based on a dinosaur cake in a book by Debbie Brown.)

Next up a ladybug.

The Great Cake Adventure

Well

I've decided to have a bit of a practise so I've found some cute cakes I can make with a dome cake. The plan, make the cake, ice it, rip off the icing and start again, and again, and again.....
We'll just have to see how it goes.... watch this space.

Stage ONE: the plain cake

Movember Cupcakes

I've a busy week coming up this week. We are doing another fundraising cupcake day at the pharmacy on Wenesday so 6 dozen cupcakes to make on Tuesday night... I might make 7 always run out by the end of the day. This time for Prostate Cancer.... so I guess some of them had better have moustaches for Movember.
Flavours decided so far:
Toffee apple with caramel icing
Pumpkin and chocolate wheat free with chocolate icing (saving one for Nicole)
Maple and Peacan becuse they were so delicious last time
Vanilla and Raspberry with Merangue buttercream icing
and one more to be decided later

Love Sarah

p.s Couldn't really have a post with

flower cupcake with a little
wee butterfly on top.
