Waybuloo :-)

So I was asked to do a Waybuloo cake for my friends little girls 1st birthday! Ive never done anything like this before so I decided a simple vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream, four layers and plenty of stickiness!!!

I started off with using a cake pop stick as the support for the Waybuloo decoration and half a cake pop stick as the support for the arms. I coloured the icing using gel colours and set on to making Waybuloo.

I then sat and painstakingly made sugarpaste flowers, leaves and decorations for the final touches.

The finished result, how yummy does that look! I might have to make one for myself (and keep it to myself!)

Cameo Cupcakes :-)

So, Bank Holiday! I love bank holiday, an extra day off, an extra day to make cakes and an extra day to chill out :-)

I decided on Cameo Cupcakes - i've never done these before so I decided to give it a go.

First things First, making the cupcake toppers - I use a silicone mould for both the cameos and the mini chocolate bars.

After letting the toppers set overnight, I started the best part - making the cupcakes!

I used edible pearls on the quilt effect cupcakes and cameo cupcakes. I also used an ivory gel colour to slightly colour the white icing.

Finished result and as they say, proof is in the pudding ........ my favourite part :-)
