Cakes that I have created so far.
This is a chocolate mudcake with chocolate ganache that I made for my sister in laws birthday. I have learnt alot more since this cake, but I love the colour combo.
This cake was for Father's Day at my parents house. The top tier was a bailey's, coconut and white chocolate mudcake, with white chocolate ganache and the bottom layer, was a banana cake with white chocolate ganache also.
This was my daughter's cake for her actual party that we had. It ended up being a butter cake with white chocolate ganache.
This is hubbies birthday cake, that was on Easter this year. It is a cherry ripe mudcake with a milk chocolate ganache around it, topped with shredded cherry ripe.
My little sister turned 30 this year, so I made her a coconut cake with white chocolate ganache. I was not overly keen on the colour combo, but over time I ended up liking it. Also my first time working with black fondant. Note to self: Do not work with it again, when the kids are still up.

Cakes worth looking at.
After thinking that I was doing the right thing and showing you all, where I started my cake decorating at, I have come to realise that I am so embarrassed by them, that I thought I had better show my daughters fourth birthday cake. She told me that she wanted a castle and princesses. So this is what I came up with.
Two tier cake. Bottom is chocolate mudcake with chocolate ganache, and the top layer is a carrot cake with white chocolate ganache.
But before this was created I had a go at my youngest daughters first birthday cake. At the time, I didn't realise that you had to go with time lines. So this was a bit of a rush job and this is what I came up with. Chocolate mudcake with chocolate ganache.

Finally joined, and become a blogger
It has taken me a little while, but I have finally decided to join the world of blogging and show case, some of my creations that I have been making and creating.
I think that I will show you all the first cake that I did for my daughter's first birthday almost 5 years ago, and I was so upset with how it turned out, that I decided to try and out do myself each year. It was just a simple buttercake with buttercream icing.
The next year, I tried to do a little better, but not as much as I wanted. I think we can all guess who it is. But the third year, I was a little bit more impressed, but it didn't really look at all like Tinkerbell.
But the fourth year was a bit more special than the first three, as it was the first time that I did a fondant covered cake for my daughter. But I will need to leave it there just for tonight and I will have to upload alot more photo's of what I have already done.
Until than.
