Elisabeth's day care only likes chocolate cupcakes. At least I can be creative with the icing. This year I found these sugared fish at the Bulk Barn in 5 different colours which was appropriate since E was turning 5. Basic butter cream icing tinted blue to look like water. Apparently the yellow fish were the best and the orange were the least favourite according to E.
Clover never ceases to amaze me in what challenge she dreams up for me to do for her son's birthday cake. This year was no disappointment! The baking was the easy part for this cake! The cake was technically a 3 tiered cake that was about 9" x 10". The tiers were separated with a half inch black cake board cut down to size. The bottom was chocolate, then vanilla and then cookies and cream. All were covered in vanilla butter cream before being covered in red fondant. Thankfully Mr T's cousin Amanda was over visiting for the weekend and ended up helping me a lot with the cake. She built the handle for me using cardboard and electrical tape. She also told me that it was customary to have stickers on your toolbox so I printed off some plumber related ones and laminated them. We even got the cake done early and delivered. Woohoo! Can't wait for next year's challenge! That's a joke. P.S. Now in my Instagram and ...
What a great idea! They look awesome.
