Birthday cake!
« on: August 10, 2007, 12:26:03 PM »
I've just finished making my bf's birthday cake! It's not quite as professional looking as June's cakes, but I'm still really proud of it! This was my first solo effort at sugarcraft and I don't think my roses are too shabby at all!

I would definitely eat that cake!
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

I think that looks amazing! The sugarcraft stuff looks so hard to do. I'd love to learn it.

What type of icing?

Chocolate ganache. Easy peasy! Just mix it up and pour it over the cake while it's still hot (the ganache, not the cake).

My only complain is....it's chocolate! :P

I'm not big on chocolate either, but it's for my bf and he's a chocolate fiend. If it were for me, I'd probably have done a lemon cake with a lemon glaze and some fresh berries.

My birthday is coming up :P (well in December) you are invited to the party!!!!

I'm not sure how a cake would hold up on the train journey, but I'm game if you are!  ;D

Wow I'm impressed Helen! The sugar roses are beautiful! I don't think I could ever do something like that.

Cake looks great! How did you do the roses and how long did they take? :D
