2013 A Magical Christmas.......

'Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas......'
ooh I love that song.  Hummed it every time I was in the kitchen baking or doing other stuff.
So how was your Christmas? Did Santa pay your little one's a visit? I just love the look on kids faces when they discover presents left under the tree. That was what my cake was going to be :)

This year fortunately we had a lovely Christmas cake...Thank you Baby Jesus... and my kids loved helping decorate it. The whole concept was Christmas at home. I included my  little children by making 2 little sugarpaste figures of them ( for which they loved me!) The scene is supposed to be Santa leaving presents and hurriedly dashing up the fireplace just in time to be noticed by two young children <3

It was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
But two little children who weren't so fast asleep,
Heard a jingling noise and went downstairs to peep.
Their eyes wide and mouths agape,
'Thank you Santa', they whispered, to the red round shape <3

That's all folks see you in the new year!

Something new!

It's November! Not long for Christmas now...Bet you're excited as much as I am! lol! 

Ok...So I made a few different cakes during the last weeks... a couple of tiered cakes, designer shoes and handbag toppers and played a bit with melted choc and seriously I thought tiered cakes were difficult...turns out they aren't. Especially if you have good friends to guide you.

This one was made for my mum. I wanted something really special for her...something really elegant
and what better than a tiered cake with cascading roses in delicate pink.
I was extremely happy with this cake especially the edges :D

Under the sea..... love humming that tune... This one was a proper eye catcher with the bright colours.
The little princess surely was happy celebrating her 6th B'day with a big cake

Who loves designer handbags and shoes?! I do!! We all do !! lol! My first attempt at these... I did well didn't I?

Oh I love these fresh berries cakes...They're sooo yummy

I did a little melted choc experiment on this one and let it set. It worked!
I'll definitely be using this method again.
