I'm having cake withdrawl :rofl: My little brothers bday is on the 25th so I'm going to make him a little individual cupcake cake. I'll make it out of a 4inch chocolate cake so it'll be like a giant cupcake. Nom nom. I'll practise tonight maybe!

Oooo what you making Tracey? Can't wait to see your latest creation!! :D Haha!

I've just remembered I have a cake to do for an 80th Birthday next month! :shock:

I need to do some boats and planes and things to go with it, think I may have a practice modelling at the weekend before we go away x
 
boats n planes!! good luck, ive done 2 spitfires....n they are pretty hard to get them to look real LOL

its that cake for the girl who wants everything! with a wine glass on it and a model etc.
im not keen on the idea she has for the 2nd tier decoration but its what she wants...so i have to do it.
she wants black glitter balloons and silver 21's on it....on red icing. i can think of nicer things but i suppose i have to keep the customer happy!! LOL
 
Well i am back to baking today.

Going to make my family some cupcakes today...just going to go round asda and see what takes my eye as to flavours lol

Kel...glad you got the things you needed
Glitterfairy...jacks cupcakes are lovely...did he enjoy making them?

xx
 
Yes he really enjoyed making them :) Apart from running away whenever the whisk went on because it was scary!!!

He was so funny with the icing,everytime he used different sprinkles he had to try some so i kept turning around to see him munching on them!

Gonna have a break from baking until saturday because i have so many to make then i'm going to get sick of them!!!
 
Hmmm. I'm wondering what to do?

I have done Laurens cake, it is a square 9 inch with white icing and a big red L in the middle. It looks so plain and not very personalised any ideas on what I could do?

I was thinking of writing Lauren in the middle of the L in white icing and sticking some red stars around the top of the cake?
 
Ok Lauren's cake is done :thumbup: Its ok not as good as I expected but never mind eh?!

Off to make a start on FIL's boob cake :) Really excited about this one!! :D Hehe xx
 
where on earth do i get ready made fondant in pink (light pink) and brown or bronze - i only need a small amount?! went to my sainsburys which is quite large and they do nothing of the sort.
 
I am pretty novice in all of this but you can get pink regalice fondant from here, or yolu could get normal white and knead in some red colouring to make it light pink. And for the bronze, if i were you i would get some brown fondant (from the same link) https://www.craftcompany.co.uk/acatalog/Sugarpaste_For_covering_Cakes.html
and then get some gold lustre spray (from the link below) and spay that lightly over it?

sorry if that made no sense...the supermarkets are rubbish for proper decorating supplies, u need a specialist shop.
Hope that helped :flower: xxx
 
If you don't want a lot of a certain colour fondant I would buy some white fondant and some coloured pastes and colour the icing yourself xx
 
thats so odd i just came across that place the craft company and was gonna ask if it was any good! I saw the perfect pink and i might have to do that with the brown to make it look bronzy! are they quite quick with their deliveries?

cheers ladies xx
 
trying to colour 3.5kg of icing is not fun :rofl: ive had to do green and blue this morning my hands hurt :)
