Arsenal Part 2

Another update...some photos of the birthday boy and his cake...






















Well here is the finished product...my first and quite possibly my last ever soccer cake haha

It was a frustrating task having to cut all the shapes by hand (because I forgot to buy a cutter) and after the first layer none of the shapes fit in together so I had to cut each one to fit separately.

Quite happy with the overall look though...you can even eat the Arsenal logos!

Arsenal

I'm in the process of making my first soccer ball cake...after purchasing my first soccer ball cake tin.

The cake took FOREVER to bake, but was so soft and fluffy once it was done. The other half helped me level it, I stired some sweetened mixed berries through white chocolate ganache and filled the cake with it...yummo! Then a thin layer of buttercream on the outside and ivory fondant.


Tonight I'll complete the cake design.

Fathers Day

My old man lives a few hours away but we were lucky enough to have dinner with him and the family the weekend just gone.


I made him a dozen of my new white chocolate and raspberry cupcakes...went down a treat after a lovely Italian meal.

RSPCA Cupcake Day

This year I decided to put my baking skills to good use and participate in the RSPCA Cupcake Day...what a mission!

A whole day of baking and decorating...I made white chocolate & raspberry, orange & poppy seed, vanilla, gluten free chocolate and then gluten free chocolate & raspberry.

Some lovely ladies I work with also bought in some scrumptious delights...was a very successful day!
