 In my next life I think I'd like to be a teapot designer.

A Belated Happy Easter

So Sorry that I haven't posted any pictures of what I have been making and I know Easter is but a fading memory, although we do have a couple of Easter eggs rolling around the fridge, but I couldn't resist showing you some examples of candy eggs I made and decorated. A cute Bunny is also  on display.

To make the eggs you need an egg mould, mine was plastic and in two halves about 12cm in length and 7-8cm wide. Make up a candy icing, very similar to a modelling or gum paste. Make your two halves and let dry for a day or two. Then it's a simple case of joining the halves together with royal icing and filling in the gaps. Once dry the fun really begins and you can decorate to your hearts content.

I have some eggs I left undecorated and I am going to make a Faberge inspired cake later in the year, so they will be put to good use. In the mean time enjoy the pictures, and see you soon . Tammy x

Tiffany Cake

I came acorss this photo from cakes I made last year and realised I hadn't shared it with you. Tiffany & Co never tasted so good. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend.

White Wedding Cake

A pretty white wedding cake I made for Lara and Michael. Underneath all that white is chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache. Best wishes to you both for a bright and happy future.xx

Vintage Cupcakes

Some pretty vintage themed cupcakes I made for an engagement party and a birthday party high tea. Hope you enjoy.

The M & M Saga

Yes there was once a time I thought that was how the rap star Eminem spelt his name. In my middle aged naivety I often pondered why would you want to be named after a cute chocolate sweet, particularly when you make music with such edgy, urban lyrics . Of course my teenage boys quickly put me on the straight and narrow and well now days even names such as Kayne West just roll of the tongue, perfect pronunciation and spelling every time. Too easy.
Not that I want to give the wrong impression here that this is the music that my children currently listen to. They are such cool, hip funksters that I'm sure whatever sounds they're listening to at the moment they are on point.
What has this got to do with cake, nothing at all really. It's just that when I hear the phrase M & M I do still think in all my absurdity of THAT Rap Star.

So when we recently celebrated our eldest sons 17th birthday I had to come up with a cake. Having watched him over the summer holidays devour packet after packet after packet of M & M s I decided what greater gift can a cake decorator mum give than a giant M & M chocolate cake. Red of course because he is the cutest with just enough attitude.

Word of warning if you would like a cake like this. It does tend to assume a wee personality of it's own and took a while to be cut.
Enjoy the long weekend.

P.S. I'm off to listen to some Rap { not }
