Blasts from the past

I'm moving some of my images here, to a blog post, so that I can update the pages.  These are all large celebration cakes.

The images are linked from Pinterest so I still want them on the blog but not on a page all to themselves.

If you've found this site via Pinterest, please leave a comment to say hello.

Gruffalo Birthday Cake

Gruffalo themed party

Baby puddle duck is having a third birthday party and we're theming it on Julia Donaldson's Gruffalo story. 

The main attraction will be the Gruffalo himself. I followed the Jane Asher example for Comic Relief but omitted the red nose and made him a traditional Gruffalo. 

I think he looks mighty fine if I do say so myself. This is the most advanced cake I have ever attempted so really I think I did OK. 

Only thing I would have changed would be to use more green icing for the base. I rolled it out too thin and struggled to roll it out big enough to cover the cake board. 

The cupcakes were also Gruffalo themed and I did one for each character in the book; the mouse, the fox, the owl and the snake.
