Okay, so I have been pretty slack in posting of late, so I thought today I would share why....
It's been a busy few weeks in our household. Madeleine turned 3 at the end of August. She had a lovely Rainbow themed party with her friends. I had help from some of my lovely friends to cater for her party, and I made her this cake...
It was a time consuming cake to make, involving three cake batters to create the layers... It was rewarding to cut the cake and see those vivid colours, though!
David had his birthday in the first weekend of September. We had a cake at our Father's Day picnic to celebrate. I made a red velvet cake for that... But have no photos of the cake to share....
Then the weekend before last, our little boy was baptised. Christian's christening celebration was a lovely afternoon tea shared with family and close friends. I was lucky to have my family help prepare the sandwiches on the day. But beforehand, I had prepared a few things, as I like to get as much cooking done before an event as possible.
I made these yummy and oh so simple cookie pops using Bianca's tutorial from here!
I also made these cupcakes... I made two flavours - orange and almond and white chocolate.
The christening cake was my biggest challenge, though. It was my first time working with fondant. It was a very moist chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream between the layers.
So, that's what I've been up to... I have a yummy recipe to share with you tomorrow...
