It's DONE!!

Well - September 30th was the last day at my corporate job. So now it's me, the party planning and the cakes!! Wish me luck!!

Well - although I haven't posted in a while it doesn't mean that I've not done anything - to the contrary!!

BEN 10 CAKES

BEN 10 was 'IN' for September.

I discovered the wonders of pearl, silver and gold petal dust!!
It gives such a nice shimmer to the fondant - great for 'alienising' the cake :).

The pic on the right has a Ben 10 watch on made with fondant mixed with CMC powder (I normally use sugar paste - but this time it came out a complete FLOP!! Still don't know why??).

I don't like working with the CMC - Fondant mixture - it becomes very hard very quick. So it's difficult to sculpt with.











One of my colleages saw the STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE Cake picture - and her daughter just had to have one - hiehie - it was not even her birthday! So proud of myself!. I changed the cake slightly - it's not nice to have a cake that's the same as someone elses?!

MINNIE MOUSE CAKE
I had a request for a Minnie Mouse cake. The bow on the original picture wasn't nice - so I changed it to a 'softer' more girly one. Personally I think it came out great!!

Then I did a sample for wedding cupcakes.......
Yummy chocolate cupcakes with a mocha buttercream icing and a chocolate covered chocolate brownie. This is the real 'death by chocolate'.

Well - tomorrow is Monday - the start of my 'new life'!!!
I'll post soon!!!
