Cake International !!!!

NEC Birmingham was host to the CAKE INTERNATIONAL Exhibition this weekend, and yours truly attended. It was a great weekend with loads of great stalls selling everything you could ever want, loads of mouth watering demonstrations, including ‘cupcakes made easy’ by Lisa Slater and my favourite the competitions. I will apologise now for the amount of photos uploaded but I got so carried away and now can not pick which ones to upload.

Being a newbie to the cake world I was in awe of some of the cakes and sugar craft (this was not an event to boast self confidence, lol) the attention to detail was incredible and I can’t wait to use this creations as inspiration and get my creative juices flowing.

I’m afraid due to the amount of people and lack of time at each cake I wasn’t able to note names (very very sorry) but all the people that entered were amazing and I hope they don’t mind this faux par.

It was a great day and i managed to pick up loads of goodies.... especially for Christmas so watch this space.

CAKE!!!!!

I’ve made a cake!!!!!!!...... Thinking that not every one likes cupcakes (urban legend) I thought I’d try my hand at decorating a cake.

It’s a white chocolate mud cake, decorated with dark chocolate grenache, people who don’t like cupcakes must like chocolate right? The inspiration was a butterfly bush; however, my tools are limited atm so I worked with what I had.........

Final Outcome ------->

I know the chocolate looks a little..... urm...... poo shaped but it is yummy I swear and considering its my first attempt at icing a large area I’m proud. Practice makes Perfect!
