Miss Sofie

Thanks to my beautiful daughter for posing :)

Purple

A chocolate cake with raspberry mousse, sprinkled between layers with peppermint-milk-chocolate.

I used Satin Ice for covering and making beads and roses. The prof´s are all using it, it seems. I wonder what they add to it, to prevent it from cracking and crumbling....? Very odd to discover that the more colourgel was added, the more the fondant seemed to dry out.

Naughty Cake

A chocolate cake with strawberries and bourbon vanilla creme. The zebra print is black fondant pieces placed on thin white fondant and then rolled very thin. Loved doing this, i will definately have to make both cakes and cupcakes with zebra-print!

This cake is for a young man who celebrates his confirmation today - we discussed what he would really like - and there´s no way getting around this, this is the thing these days! :) I hope it´s not too naughty though.

Congrats cousin -We´re looking forward to the party!

Cake for Sofie

Our daughters confirmation is well over,

we had the greatest party and she looked so beautiful our little girl :) 

The cake, a chocolate mud-cake with strawberry mousse, fresh strawberries and tiny

mint-leaves tasted delicious and was all eaten up - 

I was told several people went for second´s - way to go! :)

I meant to create a design especially for her, but she wanted the

white tiger i´ve made once before, so that´s what she got :)

I cut a stencil that´s quite useless, but it gives a good hint of the dimensions of the tiger to paint after.

 To every single one who helped make our daughter´s day one of her best ever,

thank you right from the bottom of our hearts! :)

Baggy Trousers

Theme: Ferrari

I have been going through my old pictures and found some Ferrari´s.

I´ll have to excuse the poor quality of the photo´s -and of the cakes, but it´s like everything else, practice makes perfect! -So i´ll just keep practicing ;)

 

2008: For a boys 3. birthday, a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercreme.
Placed on my, at the time newly purchased cakestand. They fit each other nicely i think! :)




2008: A confirmation cake for a young lad - a chocolate cake with raspberry mousse. This Ferrari insisted on really soft edges - there was just no way to "sharpen it up". Sometimes cakes have a will of their own! I´m sure some of you will agree.

2007: My first Ferrari - For a boys 11. birthday, a vanilla cake with strawberry mousse and "Toms" chocolateturtle ganache. -My old camera and i just weren´t that good friends!
 

I use the Ferrari Enzo as a model. I fill and stack the cake and then start carving away. If i cut off too much, i "glue" it back together with cake-crumble and chocolate-buttercreme.

I saw somewhere on the internet people using cardboard templates, that might make it easier to achieve the right shape.
