It should have had another layer of cake, but I ran out of time, hence the odd cake to cakeboard transition.. Very messy..<br />
I chose to have each side representing something Sherlocky as Savannah is a massive Sherlockian!<br />
Anyway, thank you to Savannah for organising an insanely good party :)<br />

I did my last one yesterday morning and instead of celebrating by getting drunk (which is the apparent 'norm' for people my age) I spent all day on a cake commission. It was for my friend's little sister and she had a CSI themed party today. This cake was so much fun, especially the blood around the victim's body trace! For that and the magnifying 'glass', I boiled up some sugar to hard ball stage and added food dye. The photos don't really show it but there is a piped 'fingerprint' under the magnifying glass. <b>Everything </b>on this cake is edible. The black fondant looks quite grubby, photos were taken before I did a clean up. The magnifying 'glass' has small bubbles in it so it's not fantastically clear.<br />
Enjoy!<br />
P.S. I was so tempted to keep the mini forensic scientist for myself! He's so cute, look at his little face!<br />

<br />
This was awesome. Yeah. I have to say so myself. I am a huge Whovian and this was so much fun to create! Plus it was the first time I've ever played with Rice Krispie Treats. They are good for moulding, albeit a little heavy - hence the sinking.<br />
The cake itself was sprayed with silver glitter which made my entire kitchen sparkly for days. I wanted to make a huge TARDIS but I realised the stacking issues I would have with the cakes and I didn't want to go down the dowelling route. (Dowelling is an internal structure of sticks called dowels. They prevent everything from collapsing) So I made a huge RKT cake topper and a cake and it all went on from there.<br />
In hindsight, I should have dowelled under the TARDIS because it sank overnight and was leaning horribly. It's not the neatest cake in the world but I was chuffed with it anyway. Plus it tasted pretty darn good as I used my special super moist, super chocolatey and super rich cake recipe.<br />

I've recently invested in some lovely new dyes and one was a baby blue which I adore! I decided to use it for my friend's cake and also incorporate some nice colour contrasts, bright pink and purple (another new dye). I spent ages designing this and I was very pleased with the outcome! I'm very aware that there's a horribly untidy gap between the icing at the bottom of the cake and the cake board. If anyone has any tips on how to avoid this, then please do comment :)<br />

I made this Harry Potter cake last week for a friend's birthday. I was mad busy with other stuff so I only had around 2 hours to decorate it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The black bandage and colours at the top are slightly cracked and very imperfect because I was so rushed. I used the Gryffindor colours as well as making a Golden Snitch and Deathly Hallows symbols. The Golden Snitch was made with yellow fondant which I then painted gold and I cut wings out of gumpaste. With the gumpaste wings, I cut and painted them. I then left them to dry overnight on a rolling pin so that they would be slightly curved. I had made small hollows in the body of the snitch so I could insert them with sugar glue. Unfortunately, one wing snapped off in the car as we went over a pothole. I was kicking myself! If I was to ever attempt gumpaste figure like this again, I'd assemble it on site which is what a lot of intelligent bakers do! I used a LOT of gold and silver paint! Anyway, it went down brilliantly and I was pretty satisfied with my work.</div>

Gemma LOVES <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsGYh8AacgY&feature=plcp&context=C43dc751VDvjVQa1PpcFObu0R8d-7yyziZMr7N6_XaRXjVtg1aZ2w%3D">Charlie the Unicorn</a> so naturally... a Charlie the Unicorn cake!<br />
<br />
My other buddies, Katie, Tom and Misha made a Candy Mountain cake to accompany it, but unfortunately I don't have pictures *sad face*.<br />
<br />
I wasn't as careful with this cake as I should have been so the icing is horribly jagged and cracked. I hated myself for this as it's one of the things I struggle with in decorating. I'm trying though!<br />

<br />
The fondant is quite damaged as my mum forgot to take pictures and packed it up in foil inside a tin. *facepalm*. Fondant goes quite soft if kept in a tin, and with a foil wrapping - it is quite malleable and so you get foil crinkles. I tried to make a Christmas tree shape with the stars but I had about an hour to do the cake before the Christmas post closed... sooo it's not that great...<br />

I've just had so much stuff on for the past two months with GCSEs, family stuff and general charging around England, that I've been crashing whenever I get a moment Anyway, I'll do an update of what you've missed!<br />

I made my first ever gingerbread house! It wasn't perfect but I was pretty proud of my first attempt! Unfortunately it's still sitting on my sideboard untouched as I made it for Christmas and took it to my dad's house but no one wanted to break it. I melted down some clear mints and made cool windows! I used melted white chocolate for a covering of the roof as I ran out of eggs for my royal icing. The royal icing for the gingerbread was quite easy to make but it took a while to set so I had this sort of scaffolding propping up every piece of gingerbread and taking over half my kitchen in the process!<br />

I offered to marzipan, ice and decorate my Dad's christmas cake this year. By this time I had the tiniest amount of modelling icing left due to decorating a yule log with ten year old triplets, decorating another christmas cake and a gingerbread house. So I decided to do a very minimalistic but classy design. </div>

I've done some pondering and pandering and decided that I'm going to set up a new blog purely for my witterings. So I shall transfer all non-cakey thoughts on there. This blog will purely be for nommy cakes.<br />

I intended to upload all my photos of cakes and other baking while I'm here. However... My blog has converted to Frenchism. Meaning that I have no idea of what anything says. It took me several presses of random French buttons just to post this message. So, I am not neglecting my cake duties, but I am merely defeated by a very confusing language.Tashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16336896183098449397noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428299081670923454.post-6053878751667456032011-12-18T16:12:00.001+00:002012-01-07T10:15:51.129+00:00I'm sorry. So sorryI have a valid reason for not updating my blog in so long - I've been charging around Bristol doing christmas shopping, riding, seeing friends and of course, baking!<br />
Anyway I'm back now and am full of the festive spirit!<br />
<br />
I've made way too much food!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Yule log with some family friends</li>
<li>Mince pies (of course!) </li>
<li>Cinnamon caramel buttons <a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/10/spiced-caramel-buttons-by-sarah-rhodes.html">(check the recipe out here)</a> I burnt mine but they were still pretty yummy!</li>
<li>Peppermint creams</li>
<li>Chocolate and rose cake</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div>
I hope everybody is having a lovely, festive and foody preparation for Christmas. Only a week to go!</div>

For those abroad, Children in Need is a huge UK charity and has an annual major fundraising day which involves schools and workplaces doing fun things to raise money. This is all then followed by an evening of television with sketches, live performances, charity films etc. It's a great cause so check out their website <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=children%20in%20need&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CEMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fpudsey%2F&ei=IfvQToSkEJPG8QOG5sG-Dw&usg=AFQjCNFtHxIvj_NrTBatk6fy5JcBAib6Ew&sig2=iv_9YlZ-ojuwC2QAcIT2hg">BBC - Children in Need - Changing Children's Lives</a> and take a moment to donate if you can. Thanks :)<br />

Anyway, my school had a mufti day and had to wear spots and stripes. There were crazy hat competitions, dress up the teacher, coin races, tuck sales and face painting. Best of all, our Deputy Head wore a dress and some impressive heels. He's a man, just so you know ;) There was also a Pudsey cake competition by the food technology department. Pudsey is the CIN mascot, a yellow teddy with a spotty head bandana. Of course I entered! I wanted to do a sponge cake but the entry requirements stated that they had to be six fairy cakes. I won, but Mr Goldsmith (judge and food tech teacher) still hasn't given me my prize! Gosh(!)<br />

She wanted to share it with her cousin, Poppy so I designed it with both of them in mind. Savannah's criteria was: rainbow, gold leaves, pink and red flowers. I decided to create some poppies and pink flowers of a random kind. This was my first time making flowers out of fondant. I was quite happy with the result and the entire family loved it, even the little ones!

I have abandoned thee for too long. However, I have made some cakes since then and I shall display them for your enjoyment (or not enjoyment depending if you're a sad case who hates life). Our first product, the RAINBOW CAKES! *astonished gasps of a small crowd* These took me AGES but it was so so worth it. I made them for my Student Robotics Society meeting at school (I'm a nerd). They went down pretty well. I found that with Rainbow Cake, they actually look better than they taste as they don't have any kind of topping so the effect wasn't ruined. Also you can taste a small hint of the colouring. In future, I may experiment by putting in some kind of flavouring like rose water or a fruity essence - something that won't affect the colour. Anyway, I was pretty pleased with the result.<br />

I was commissioned to make a cake for my dad's friend's brother (sorrry! I'll try not to make this confusing!) as their favourite cake shop had closed down and there are very few cake places in Bristol. Anyway it was a last minute cake so I had to work pretty fast as I only had a day to do it in. The themes I was given were; Bob Marley, gardening and the guy was bald. Not the easiest task to be honest! I settled for a chocolate gardening cake with a Bob Marley colour scheme and a icing figure of the recipient. Hope you like it! I'm pretty proud of it as it's my first paying customer and as I said, only a day to do it in.Tashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16336896183098449397noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428299081670923454.post-73030587097539984452011-08-26T14:25:00.000+01:002011-08-26T14:25:27.791+01:00Musical birthday cake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkK-mDgFxZYRitFYjTOABTP7i6NHheYslgOcrXKdOohfE1oLB7E1Gz9gPkyh7q9FC-o74a_I386v1Vga_rjWAvnL1dfN70K23Ik_r5YZs0W59qm8Ts7N59V9lza24bU9nYbWUjNl49K6kj/s1600/IMG_4076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkK-mDgFxZYRitFYjTOABTP7i6NHheYslgOcrXKdOohfE1oLB7E1Gz9gPkyh7q9FC-o74a_I386v1Vga_rjWAvnL1dfN70K23Ik_r5YZs0W59qm8Ts7N59V9lza24bU9nYbWUjNl49K6kj/s320/IMG_4076.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

He loves music and plays guitar so I designed the cake around that. The sheet music around the edge is an extract from 'I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas as he plays the song really well. It took me about 7 hours to complete. The cake is chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream and raspberry jam filling.Tashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16336896183098449397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428299081670923454.post-82751385333648738482011-08-26T12:35:00.000+01:002011-08-26T12:58:09.252+01:00Hi Cake Nommers!Hello all cake nommers out there!
