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.

Tortoise and Hare

As part of our final project at college we had to model 2 characters in marzipan.  I wanted to make 2 different figures that worked together so decided to make a tortoise and a hare.   The marzipan in coloured with paste colours and is supported with dried spaghetti and edible glue, the tortoise shell is painted with liquid colours.  I thought this may be something I struggled with as I am not the artiest person around but I am pleased with them.  I am really sad that my course has come to an end as I have really enjoyed it and met some lovely people, fingers crossed for August when we get our results!
