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.

Vegetable Patch


Here is a cake made for a keen gardener. The board was covered in brown sugar paste and then sugartex applied to give the appearance of soil. The vegetables and model were made with modelling paste. The cake was covered with brown sugar paste and then planks of wood - these were made by rolling modelling paste which was cut in to strips and then made to look like wood by adding a grain with a cocktail stick.
