A Handbag to Eat.

Well, anyone who's not interested in cake decorating is probably bored with my posts recently, but I've really been enjoying trying new things and learning new techniques.

Here's a cake I made for my daughter's 6th birthday. It's from the 2007 Donna Hay kids issue. I saw it after Sarah's birthday last year and new I had to make it this year! It was a very simple cake with licorice straps etc. The flowers were made from fondant with royal icing centers. It was VERY rushed! Here are some cupcakes I took to my Sis in laws last week. I wanted to try the techniques of rolling fondant flowers. The cupcakes were mudcake as has been most of the cakes I make. I'm looking forward to trying a few other recipes over the next few weeks.

    I can't believe she is 6 already? When I first met her she was just a little girl sitting in the pram & you were pregnant with Hannah. Hasn't time flown by...
