and Finally..Ellawynne's 4th birthday

It has been a busy month and needless to say I have been a little quiet. As I mentioned previously my first born, Ellawynne was turning four this month and we had a double celebration with her birthday and her little sisters - being only a few days apart.


Ellawynne wanted a fairy barbie cake for her birthday and thankfully her only request was that Barbie had 'legs'. I think she was concerned that all barbie cakes had chopped up Barbie dolls. So whilst I wanted to make a Debbbie brown princess and the frog cake, I instead had to do the barbie cake. Must admit it was more fun that I thought and I tried to make it look like her birthday present, the Fairy secret Barbie.  This is her:

Anyway, the cake is a butter cake in three Neapolitan colours with butter cream frosting and a satin ice icing. Everything is edible including the wings, though I don't recommend it. And I am happy to say Ellawynne was very excited and instantly new who it was.

So do any of you have a little fairy or princess having a birthday soon?

More than 1000...

Hello to you all. I am so excited. I have made over 1000 hits on the site and i must admit I thought it would never happen. But it has and I am glad to see people are visiting and reading (although it could just be my mum and dad)!

So I thought since people are visiting it might be nice if people said hello!!!! Please comment. I would love to hear what you think of my creations please.

So it is getting close to July and this year I have two cakes to make for my girls. Last year I only had one so you can guess our little family has expanded. Anyway, the reason I am reminiscing is my first daughter could not make her mind up last year as to what sort of cake she wanted. She changed her mind so many times I gave up in the end and did a simple cake for her.

The cake was a white chocolate mud cake with orange blossom water and white chocolate ganache filling. I had originally planned to model one of the disney princesses but didn't end up doing that and used some little tinkerbell figures I had instead. The cake was decorated with white spots, and red roses. Needless to say she loved it anyway.
