Purple elephant and giraffe Christening cake.

Our baby girl was finally Christened and I decided to base her cake design around her Christening invitations that we sent out.

I had a bit of trouble baking the first cake due to using our brand new oven and learning the tricks to using it. 

My first attempt at a extended tier cake. Need to prefect covering such a large cake. The purple colour of the cake is washed out and was so much nicer in real life. Thinking it may be time for a new camera. 

Mixed berries with coconut and white chocolate mudcake, layered with white chocolate ganache and than covered with fondant.

Pink Fairy Castle

So our eldest turned 6 this year and she was excited to chose her cake for her party. 

She trolled through all my cakes books and decided on the Debbie Brown Fairy castle cake.

So here it is, my take on a  pink Fairy castle cake. 

Top tier is Almond and Milk Chocolate mudcake, layered with white chocolate ganache and than covered with milk chocolate ganache and than fondant.

Bottom tier is Choc chip mudcake layered with milk chocolate ganache and than covered with white chocolate ganache and fondant.

Instead of lollies bags, I decided to do vanilla sugar cookies iced with homemade Royal Icing. Each cookie was than given a fairy to go on top. 

Been wanting to try stencilling for a long time and finally was able to.
