A place to show off the things I have baked
It was my niece’s first birthday last week and I got asked to make her birthday cake. There were no requirements other than to make it cake flavoured.
I did have a busy weekend (a 10k run, as well as setting up for the birthday party) which meant I didn’t do anything fancy on the inside. Instead I just went for vanilla layers with jam / buttercream between them. I iced the outsides with vanilla buttercream and then added the pastel layers.
CaWe have a lot of charity events at work and a while back they hosted a baking contest where we could enter any baked good, and after judging the cakes would be cut up and sold off for charity.
I had been seeing lots of Drip Cakes on Instagram at the time, and so I decided to get a little crazy.
I made vanilla and chocolate marble layers, iced with vanilla buttercream and then decorated with White Chocolate bark, and cake truffles (made with off cuts of the cake).
I came second in the contest, but this won me an extra day’s paid holiday from work, so I was happy with that result!
Hi there,
This page will soon be my blog – filled with posts about my baking and random things I’ve made.
