Cupcake Cake


My daughter has been exploring baking and cake decorating. She also wants to try new shapes and pans. So we thought of trying out a cupcake cake pan. This is our first attempt and it has gone very well.
She helped mix, bake and decorate the cake and decided to make a back to school party and have this cake.
The bottom half of the cake is chocolate and the top is vanilla, the filling is strawberry puree.

Secret Agent Cupcakes


For her 8th Birthday, my daughter wanted cupcakes, she said she noticed her friends liked cupcakes most. So I made her cupcakes to match her birthday theme, Secret Agents.
The cupcakes are Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting. Its currently her favourite flavour! Decorations are all fondant. The wording was made to match the clues they were given during the party, where each word was divided into segments.

Science Cake


What a fun birthday idea and a fun cake to go along with it. Meant to be explored with many elements from the periodic table along the bottom. But I accidentally spilled the green radioactive test tube which turned the words 'Happy Birthday' green ;)
The cake is chocolate with mint filling. It is iced with buttercream, 'faux fondant'. The decorations are fondant and gumpaste.
Pop quiz, how many elements can you name??? Here is a hint:
-pink elements are from the boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen groups.
-gray elements are from the transition elements.
-blue elements are from the halogens and noble gases.
-orange elements are from the alkali metals and alkali earth metals.
