Peppa Pig

A cake for Ellie who turned 2....
Sugar Paste Peppa Pig, Daisies and Presents....
On top of a maderia sponge with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream.
It was lovely to see her smile and recognise 'Peppa' when she and her Mum came to collect it, although I did manage to knock poor Peppa's ears off when I put the lid on the cake box... lucky I took one last peek and noticed so I stuck them back on.

A wee fairy sitting on the roof of her spotty red toadstool house eating cake while down below her caterpillar friends have just arrived to say Happy Birthday.

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.
