Two tier celebration cake

I did this cake in a class a few weeks ago. Its a two tier chocolate cake, covered in ivory sugarpaste with a rose and hydrangeas on it. Simple and elegant!

Rose in bloom

What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;

This rose though, doesn't smell sweet, it tastes sweet as it is made out of edible flower paste. I am not into flowers but enjoyed doing this one. After all, a rose is a rose!

Converse booties and an autumnal plaque

Hello Kitty 8th birthday

Happy 8th birthday to my daughter Maria. It is unbelievable how the years fly, at times I can't believe that she's mine (mostly when she's being a monster and I want to disown her). I used modelling paste for the hello kitty model and the disco hologram glitter on her dress is edible. Happy with the cake, though I didn't let anyone eat the hello kitty! :-)

Cake in a cup for someone who didn't want a cake!

I had to really rack my brains for this one. For my friend who doesn't like cakes for birthdays, I baked cake in a mug! Was praying all along that the mug doesn't snap off into pieces and here's the result...

Tatty Bear!

At the monthly guild meet up last night, we learnt how to make a sugarpaste tatty bear, complete with the paws n patch. My little girl wanted it to hold a heart so added that this morning. Such an adorable coochie coo, who'll ever want to eat him up?

 

Back to school

Isn't it amazing what those three words do to mothers? Ahh...the bliss of a few hours of silence! I do not envy the poor teachers who are now probably going looney with my chatty 7 year old and hence sent them cupcakes along with my girls! :-)

I made the miniature apples, books and crayons in advance. A warning though, do not use the edible pen when the sugar paste hasn't dried out. It will ruin the pen as well as your fondant.

 

Weekend's cupcakes!

Glamorous chocolate coffee cupcakes for a bbq party today....all edible! Photographs courtesy my darling brother Talha!

Summer theme cupcakes

I did my first class at 'A cake for you' this afternoon. It was a summer themed class, perfect for today's hot and humid weather! Lovely group of ladies and some gorgeous cupcakes. Can't stop admiring them myself!

Graduation Cake!

I did my first graduation cake two weeks ago for the 6th class graduation party at Maria's school. The bottom tier is chocolate fudge cake and the top tier is milk chocolate cake. It is all edible, covered in chocolate flavoured sugarpaste.
