Mamma Mia






This is the birthday cake that I made for my niece. I was not expecting to be in Geurnsey for her birthday so did not have any tools or equipment but thanks to the internet we got there.
I made the cookies to go in the party bags at the end of her Abba disco. The cupcakes were for her to take into school for her classmates.

Open Book Anniversary cake


It has been a bit quiet on the cake front since I have been posted and am living in the mess. Not quite so easy to do cakes in a single man room.


Here is one that I have just finished. It is half fruit and half sponge to celebrate a golden wedding and the lady was also 70 the same week.

Then there are four 10" cutting cakes to be served as dessert at the evening buffet. The flavours were - vanilla sponge, Lemon sponge, chocolate fudge cake and carrot cake.

This is Charlie & James's birthday cake for their star wars party. Not the best picture but i was in a bit of a rush. The top dome was cooked in a pyrex bowl and the body was made from 3 x 7" sponges. The legs were rice Krispy squares moulded into shape.
I found the idea for the cake from http://www.bsideblog.com/
