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.

FA Cup Cakes


When I made these I had just started on my cake decorating course.  My family's football team were in the FA Cup so I made some FA Cup cakes!  The cup cakes and the butter cream were coconut using coconut milk instead of regular milk.  The decorations were made as run outs - a technique using very runny royal icing to make a design.  The cups were made in white icing then I painted them silver when they were dry.   Sadly we lost so these were the first and last FA Cup cakes I made!
