I've been making cakes again. So much fun. And one of them was my first 'commissioned' cake. So exciting! I'll show that one first hey?!
It was for a pirate party and they showed me some cakes they liked the look of. This is what I made. I'm pretty proud of it too. Grin.
I had so much fun making the waves out of fondant and things like the anchor out of chocolate.
In hindsight, I could have done this differently. And I've learnt a lesson from it. But still looks pretty cool.
But my favourite part was the teeny tiny little canon balls. So cute!
The next one was a car cake. It and the next one were made for the kids I make cakes for each month. I loved making the little cars, and the road was super fun too.
The little trees were fun too. But I need to work out a better way next time, and make sure the colour is much more different to the grass.
The last cake was more of a quick and easy, fun cake. I wasn't sure what the child would want, but did know their age. So thinking about kids my own age, I decided to fill it with chocolate and lollies. It turned out ok.
A couple of flakes over the top of the cake. Yum!
They were so much fun to make. I sure hope they were enjoyed.
how fun!!

They make me smile from ear to ear. Especially the cars. But the Pirate Ship is the da bomb! Love all the chocolate work!
