Birthday Cake for a 2 yr Old

I received an order for a birthday cake for a 2 yr old who likes a particular children's programme I believe which includes a monkey. They wanted a chocolate flavoured sponge cake with chocolate butter cream and I then iced it and then printed the picture and wording on to an icing sheet using my edible food printer and then made some bananas out of yellow fondant. It is the first children's cake I have made so I am quite pleased with how it turned out. My hubby who is very critical on how I do the decoration's even said himself if was very good that is high praise coming from him I can tell you. Anyway it was safely delivered by hubby this morning and my client seemed well impressed. I hope his son enjoys his birthday.

This weekends project

Hello everyone, thought I would share my latest project, I was asked to make this for my friends mums 80th birthday and here is the result. Happy birthday to Jen's mum. I can post this now as the cake was delivered today. :)

A Last Minute Gift

I also did one final Christmas Cake which was for friends who we did not get time to visit before Christmas. The beauty of Christmas Fruit cakes is that they will keep just fine until you cut into them and then they need to be stored in an airtight container. I hope they enjoy it.

A knitted Cardigan

After my hectic lead up to Christmas I took time out to chill, although I am still baking. I made this cardigan whilst I was off for the Christmas Break for our Granddaughter Luna it will be a little while for her to grow into it but there is no use doing the new born sizes as she is growing so quick. Here is a photo I took when Dad and daughter paid us a quick visit,she had just been changed and was enjoying a kick about on her changing mat. And here is a photo of the cardigan.

Santa Came to Visit

I hope you have all had an enjoyable and indulgent Christmas and are now preparing for the New Year celebrations. I just thought I would bob on my blog today and just do a quick post. I received some really nice gifts, and will soon be trying them out. In particular I received one from hubby which I am really pleased with although I did not expect to get something like that as we tend to just buy what we want throughout the year rather than on special occasions, suffice to say I have not bought anything for him yet and he keeps telling me he does not need anything so I will have to get my thinking cap on. Can you guess what's in the red case, yes its a kindle and that is the gift I received from hubby. I am having fun downloading free books and catching up on some reading which I have not had time to do for a while. I have also done some knitting which I will update you on when finished. By for now and best wishes for the New Year.
