Candle cake

My first fondant cake! This is really fun to make and I call it my edible Play-doh cake.

Though it is not perfect but I pretty happy with the outcome.

It tastes really yummy, chocolate cake with mocha spread as filling.

My Blog's 1st Anniversary

 

It's one year already!! I can't believe how time flies.

Today is my Blog's 1st Anniversary.

 

Here's a quick look back at the cakes I made for my special occasions 

 

Pumpkin shaped Macarons

It's Halloween!! One of my favourite time of year as kids are usually excited about going to Trick or Treat.

But it seems like the weather have got the better of us as we are all poorly and both kids have temperature and not been well all week.

It's schools half term and kids have a week off, we done nothing apart from cuddled up to watch telly and drink medicine!! But that doesn't stop the fun from baking.

First Halloween bake off are these cute little pumpkin shaped macarons.

My Wedding Anniversary cake

 

This year it is me and my hubby's 19th Wedding Anniversary.

I wanted to try a naked cake as it's the latest trend for Weddings and Anniversary's but hubby say they look terrible. Stuck with ideas, I saw a photos of a cake with flowers. I thought it would be nice to keep it a romantic theme. I wanted to add ruffles and made white modelling chocolates to wrap around a pink sponge layered cake.  Though the cake is a bit small, it was perfect size for me and my little family. I think this cake would look amazing if it had a bottom tier.  Maybe I will make something similar or a 3 tier cake next year for our 20th Anniversary.

 

Please be very careful when using fresh flowers on your cakes, I wrapped the stem with foil before I put it in.  Have been advise that using fresh flowers isn't safe and I have taken these out afte the photos were taken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Snow skin moon cakes

 

 

 It's here!! Mid Autumn festival. Have you made moon cakes yet?

This year I wanted to try something different apart from the traditional moon cakes. 
You can find my traditional moon cake post here.
 

A fellow Blogger Jenny Ong, which I have been in touch with lately, have shared with me one of her Snow skin moon cake recipe. As her blog is in Chinese which I can't read, she kindly translated her recipe in English for me and have given me the confidence to try it.

 

And the results were amazing!!
