Main Blurb

Hi,

My name is Jane and I am using this blog as a way of keeping a record of my cake decorating projects.


I have always enjoyed cooking, particularly baking and have started to take cake decorating more seriously over the last few years. It all started when a friend asked me to make the cake for her wedding in May 2010. In the 9 months or so leading up to the wedding I started buying cake decorating books and
looking online, practicing my piping and sugar paste skills and soon I was hooked, taking any opportunity to try out a new technique or recipe.


From September 2010 to June 2011 I completed a cake decorating course at Thames Valley University and make cakes for friends and family at any given opportunity.


Thanks and I hope you enjoy the blog.

Wedding Cake


 
Here is the first commissioned cake I made, it was for my friend’s wedding in May 2010.  She wanted 120 cupcakes in pink, green and cream with a top cake for them to cut.  The cupcakes are all vanilla with rose, vanilla and lemon butter cream icing.  The top cake is a Madeira cake with vanilla butter cream and covered with sugar paste.  I bought the flowers and bows to decorate the cupcakes this time but wanted to learn how to make them for myself.  I made 144 cupcakes in case any were damaged in transit but I didn’t need to worry, it all went very smoothly for a first attempt and the couple were really happy with it.
