Epic week of baking.................

What an epic week last week was.....100 chocolates, 70 cupcakes, 2 wedding cakes, 1 birthday cake and a Disney princess castle cake!!!!

Here are pictures of my 2 wedding cakes, both fairly simple in design :)

The round cake was a 2 tier fruit which meant it could be made a while ago and I only had to ice it last week, the square cake was a gluten free vanilla and jam sponge.
I think that is about it this year for wedding cakes, unless I get any more bookings. I have quite a lot booked in for next year and even a couple for 2015!!!!

I have popped a picture below of the wedding cupcakes I made, these were vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream in cream and cerise.

 I also made 100 Belgian choclates as wedding favours, there were 50 x Baileys and 50 x milk chocolate soft truffle.

Then came the Disney Princess castle cake....this was the big challenge as I have not made such a large cake before. The turrets are made from sugarpaste so it meant that apart from the Disney Princess characters the whole cake was edible.
I really enjoyed making this cake and hope to make another one in the future :)

Well that's all my news, this week I am making a double height engagement cake that will be airbrushed and hope fully look like a beach sunset with a silhouette of a manproposing to his girlfriend...hope that work well!!!

Thanks for reading :) x
