A rather unusual superhero cake.
The Batman Logo, superman coloured covering, and a rainbow cake inside.
Different? Yes!
Fun? Definitely!
And a super chuffed little boy upon delivery!
One of my regular clients approached me to make a cake for her parent’s 40th Wedding Anniversary, and this is what we came up with.

She wanted similar colours to her parent’s wedding day, and of course flowers.
The cake was red velvet on top, with the bottom tier being carrot. Both had cream cheese frosting.
I loved making this cake, and loved the look of delight on my client’s face when she saw it.
And the sms I received from her mom ” Thank you sooooo much for the beautiful cake you baked for our 40th Wedding Anniversary! It tasted so yummy too!
I absolutely *loved* making this cake.
I think perhaps the fact that the client is also a friend & now a family member, that could have had something to do with it.
She gave me a picture of what she wanted, and I changed the colours to match her Country Themed wedding, set on her family farm in Hogsback, Eastern Cape. The cake was Red Velvet on top, Choc in the middle and Carrot at the bottom. YUM.
I also then made items of yumminess for the dessert table – Chocolate Brownies, Sugar Cookies, Cake Pops, Cupcakes and Caramel Tarts. Other yummies included Heart Shaped Fudge, Lammingtons and Rocky Road. A true feast. I had an absolute ball putting together and decorating the Dessert Table – such fun!
An absolutely gorgeous wedding!
One of my favourite clients ordered this cake for her son’s birthday.
A snake cake – eeeuww! Living on a farm we have our fair share of them and i’m not a fan!
However, I did love how this one turned out. He doesn’t like the sugarpaste covering, so this was just covered with Dark Choc Buttercream and then embellished with Sugarpaste.
Apparently it was a hit with the kids who fought over who was going to get the snake!
I love doing cakes for Baby Showers – and I love doing something a little different.
This cake was a 4 layer Vanilla Cake, filled with Caramel Cream (a very popular combination).
Apparently the mum to be has a thing about pink ellies, hence little ellie on top, and I thought the bunting round the side brought it all together.
Mum to be was thrilled and said she didn’t want to cut it!
Earlier this week I featured my daughters Rainbow Party, and I promised there would be some “Tips & Trick’s” to follow.
I’m going to start by sharing How To make these completely moreish Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows.
You Will Need:
Bag of Marshmallows
Bar of Milk or Dark Chocolate
M&M’s (or smarties)
How To:
Simply arrange you marshmallows on a large plate or tray.
Break your chocolate into squares and place in a microwave safe bowl, and place in the microwave for a couple of minutes. The time the chocolate takes to melt is completely dependent on the wattage of your microwave. I would check every 30 seconds to be on the safe side.
Once the chocolate is melted stir quickly to get rid of any tiny lumps.
Then the FUN begins!
Simply dip the top of the marshmallow (obviously a flat side) into the chocolate, and place bottom side down on the plate. Do a few in quick succession and then start decorating.
Place the M&M (or smartie) in the middle of the marshmallow.
You need to do this whilst the chocolate is still slightly soft in order for the M&M to stick.
Leave to set (away from little fingers) and then serve.
I like to use M&M’s as their colours are vibrant.
This is also a super easy sweety treat for the kiddies to make!
One of my recent orders was for Under The Sea Cupcakes.
And this is what I made. I decided to use for bright colours and only only colour per ‘animal’, so that it would give the ‘wow’ effect when on the table.
And wow it did. My client was absolutely delighted with them and couldn’t wait to show her colleagues! I have to say that the octopus was definately my favourite of them all!
For the frosting, I used a combo of a blue and white swirl to make it look like the sea.
I had a ball making these and was thrilled with the outcome!
