The begining of a little country kitchen......

I spent 8 years studying to be an architect, for which in return I have a very rewarding job!

Since finishing my studies I decided to find something new to learn outside the office..hence my journey into cake decoration and a new way to employ my creative skills!

So after some cake decorating lessons I am embarking upon making cakes for family, friends and anyone who is interested on my way!. I love a challenge and I really enjoy making them and it something completely different from my day job!

So this blog is an photographic portfolio of my journey, to give you an idea of what I have done/ maybe can do :-)

Nick's Birthday Cake

Well Nick asked for a black forest gateaux and thats what he got!

I made 3 layers of very nice sponge...filled it with marcepone cream and cherries- and then attempted to decorate it.

I made my very own modelling chocolate for the first time!!! well done me- it was fairly easy...but needs quite a lot of getting used to working with it as its quite tough when it's first set- Dave was very useful at this and softened it up for me. :-)...I would have been well stumped without :-)- mental note not to put in refridgerator next time!



Caking in the Making!- Modelling chocolate, cake assembly and chocolate cherries mmmmm.....



It wasn't perfect, the modelling chocolate didn't quite have the finish I hoped for- but i disguised it with some gold lustre and a bit of bling does wonders!!!
