Giant cupcake..

I made this cake recently for a work colleague (another one) and it was the first giant cupcake I have made in a while. I looked at a few on the internet and got some inspiration from some of the ones I looked at. The person I made this for is a huge lover of chocolate so this was a major chocolatey cake. Chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream centre, chocolate buttercream frosting, chocolate fingers and malteasers.... chocolate chocolate chocolate! I loved making this cake, it looks so effective and delicate but didn't actually take that long to decorate. I found a lovely giant chocolate cupcake recipe and it tasted lovely, moist and chocolatey and although it took an hour and a half to bake, it turned out lovely and was worth the wait! I will definitely be making more of these in the future... I think they make a lovely gift.

First Holy Communion Cake and Cupcakes

Its Holy Communion Season so I have been busy baking some holy communion treats for some family friends.

I looked at a few ideas on the internet and for the cupcakes I went for a simple cross design on blue buttercream. I didn't buy a cross stencil but used a cross cake topper and cut around it for each cross, it was a bit time consumed but a cheaper option than ordering a cake crosser ( I left it too late to order one)

For the cake I used letter embossers and wrote a simple message on the top of the cake finished off with the date of the holy communion. Last year I bought a large cross embosser so I used that again this year for the large cross and it looked lovely.

I put the cake and cupcakes on a stand and it looked lovely. A simple yet classic cake for a special day.

Bristol Rovers cake

I made this cake for a work collegue recently for his little grandsons. They hate football and love rugby so to wind up their parents, he decided he wanted to have a bristol rovers cake for them! A simple cake personalised with their names and the Bristol Rovers saying 'Little gasheads' it was a sweet treat for two adorable little boys... hopefully it will convince them to support the team their grandad is so passionate about!
