Happy Father's Day.


I asked my Dad what he wanted for Father's Day, and he said cake.

This cake is a first for me in so many ways. It is a new recipe that will be used again, it is the first time that I used a shaped tin, buttercream was used instead of ganache (never again on a shaped cake), and using red fondant.

I was in tears trying to cover it and then had to go into damage control. I was pleased with it in the end, but getting to the end, was such a relief.

The cake is a vanilla buttercake with vanilla bean buttercream.






I asked my hubby what he would like and his answer was "Macarons".

Third attempt and was so happy with how these turned out.

Pistachio macarons with hazelnut ganache.
