Well, having had this blog for a month now, with no activity, I guess it's time to start adding things - our first cake seems like the best place to start.
It was a first birthday cake for our daughter. A jam sponge cake, decorated to match the tableware (plates, napkins, banners etc...).
This cake was completely experimental - there was nothing about this process that was familiar to us. We had never made a sponge cake before and had certainly never decorated one. The icing was purchased white and was coloured as required, with the addition of icing gel pens and sparkley bits to complete the pattern.
Time spent to make this cake: 6 hours.
One final note - note the creases in the icing on the sides of the cake - we just didnt know how to get ried of these. It was only after discovering the problem that we thought to ask the lady in our local cake shop for a few pointers. Watch the next few cakes to see how these vanished.
