Graduation Cake

I recently graduated and made a gluten free sponge cake with vanilla buttercream for the occasion. I used the silverwood multisize cake pan to make two 8 by 6 inch rectangles. I was slightly disappointed with the way the cake turned out but it was my first attempt at making a book cake so I know where to improve in the future. I would definitely try adding gum powder to the fondant next time in order to increase it’s strength. I also think the fondant for the cover needs to be thicker. Although I wasn’t pleased with the look of the cake, everyone seemed to enjoy the taste!

Candy cane and snow flake macaroons

Ice cream cone cupcakes

These were also made for the wedding mentioned in my previous post. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a better photo as there was so much going on! This is a good food recipe and can be found here They were a big hit especially with the kids. I did slightly alter the buttercream recipe, adding more icing sugar. I also cut the flakes in half as they weren’t quite in proportion to the cake.

Two tier chocolate wedding cake

My parent’s friends got married a few weeks ago and I was asked to make the cake. This was my first time making a wedding cake and it got pretty stressful at times! The bottom tier is a 3 layer, 9 inch cake made using the Martha Stewart ultimate chocolate cake recipe. The cake is covered in a dark chocolate ganache and dark chocolate cigarillos. The top tier is a 3 layer, 7 inch wheat free sponge cake. The cake is covered in a layer of lemon curd and white chocolate buttercream. The cake was a big success and the lemon and white chocolate layer proved the most popular!
