Rainbow Unicorn Cake

Hello!

                   How are you today?

Last weekend I made a giant 2-tier cake for a family friends going away party.The bottom tier was a 12 inch, five layer rainbow cake with the colours orange,yellow,green,blue and purple.

The second tier was a 9 inch chocolate fudge cake.The 2-tiers where then covered in butter cream icing and then coated in multi-coloured sprinkles.

I then placed a unicorn and a rainbow cake topper on top of the cake that I made a week before hand.I found multi-coloured cake bunting that I thought would look nice on the cake and put it behind the unicorn.

The cake was about 2 feet tall,took 10 hours to make and contained 30 eggs! 

Hope you enjoyed today's blog.Bye!

What I've been baking this summer.

Hi Again!

How are you all? Today I am showing you five of the cakes I have made over the summer holidays.

The first thing I baked was cupcakes for my class end of school year party in May.I made 25 cupcakes with everyone's name in the class on them and they went down well.

The second cake I am showing you is one that I made for my Dad for ''Fathers Day'' on June 19th. It's a small madeira cake with red butter cream icing and multi - coloured polka-dots.

The third cake I baked was for one of my past teachers in primary school who was retiring after teaching for 41 years.My friends and I presented the cake to her on behalf of the past pupils she thought in St.Annin's National school. 

The fourth cake I baked was for my cousin Anna who graduated from Primary school in June.

The last cake I made was an emoji cake.One of the first cakes I made for the blog was a sunglass emoji cake so this time I attempted the winky face emoji.

I hope you all enjoyed today's blog.

St.Patrick's Day cake

Hello Everyone

Hope you all had a great St.Patrick's Day and Easter .Sorry I haven't been blogging for the last few weeks.Today I will be showing you 3  cakes I have made over the holidays in 3 different blogs.

The first cake I am showing you is a St.Patrick's Day/Birthday cake because my dads Birthday is the day before Paddy's Day.

The cake is madeira with butter cream icing and roll out icing for the shamrocks.In the middle of one half of the cake I cut out a hole and filled it with chocolate coins ,then iced over it with butter cream and then placing the other half on top.I also dyed one half of the cake green and the other half of the cake orange so when you cut into the cake you can see the Irish tri-colours.I then used the excess piece of cake that I cut out and decorated so I had a mini cake and a main cake.

     

  Hope you liked my first blog of today.Talk to you later.Bye!

cool cake decoration

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed my coffee cake.Today I want to show you a cool cake decoration I got in one of my favourite shops,"TIGER".

For those of you that don't know,Tiger is a really cool European shop that sells unusual and fun items.

Yesterday I bought a white cake candelabra that holds nine candles and comes with nine pink and white candles.I had to get it when I saw it because I think it is a really simple idea to give a plain cake a dramatic look for only 3 euros.

I hope you all enjoyed today's blog.
