The First Time

Well I have to say quite proudly (and with a touch of embarrassment), I finally worked out how to start a blog!

I do not have any recent photos of things I have made (now I've just added another task to my to-do list!) so I have scoured through photo's that I have saved of projects over the years just to share something small for the first time. This was a wedding cake I made for a dear friend I use to work with many years ago. Even though I professed to her I was not confident in baking a wedding cake as I had NEVER tried...she professed back that I was "just going to have to do it"! The wedding cake was a traditional fruit cake (for the hubby) and the cupcakes were a mixture of chocolate and vanilla (for the youngies!)...Please do disregard all those bumbs...they're a result of a first timer!

This is another picture I found and by goodness it's old! It is a hazelnut torte, filled with chocolate and white chocolate cream, covered with white chocolate cream and decorated with white chocolate leaves...

Oh and how's this for creativity - forget about writing on the cake...make chocolate letters! Trust me - it's quicker to write on the cake!
