Spiderman - Themed Cake

Birthday is a special day, especially when it is little children's birthday. Lighting of candles, singing the birthday song and cutting the sweet birthday cake are the common things included in a birthday celebration. 

 People make birthday cakes according to the likes, of the birthday person. Small kids mostly like birthday cakes designed with their favorite fictional characters. One of such characters liked by children is Spiderman. Spiderman is one of the most famous superhero known all across the world. 

Here is a birthday cake made for two little cuties,

Ruth & Zac, who likes Super heroes - 

Spider man 

 Its a Chocolate cake filled with chocolate ganache, butter cream and fondant covered. 

WISHING YOU BOTH A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Love you :)

Toadstool / Mushroom Themed Birthday Cake

How cute is this!? I wish I could have someone make me this cake for my birthday.

Girly birthday cakes are much more fun to make! The colors are vibrant, red,pink, yellow, green! Loved it. Here's another one for the collection. 

A Toadstool Birthday Cake made for our  friend's daughter ALEENA, who is celebrating her 12^th birthday. This is my favorite .

WISHING YOU  VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALEENA...

As I mentioned earlier, that I am not a great cake decorator. So when making children’s novelty cake, I am truly out of my depth. I have no idea how I made it. Thank God, as things often do, it turned out well. 

For the cake, I baked 3 chocolate cake sponges in two different sized bowls.Two cakes, in 6’’ round cake pan and one in a medium sized dome pan, which I used as the top.  Once I baked the round cakes, I cut it  from the middle with a round cake ring.  Then I layered the cakes and put the butterscotch frosting as filling in between. I iced both cakes separately with a generous helping of butter icing and allowed it to “set” in the fridge before proceeding with the decorating as I wanted the cakes to be nice and firm to work with. I used fondant for decorating the whole cake.  

Wow, she shouted “Toadstool Cake”, the minute she saw it, and I saw the biggest smile when I delivered the cake. I have to say, even I was very impressed with my efforts.

Chocolate Swiss Roulade and Cup Cakes

Chocolate roulade is just a fancy term for a chocolate swiss roll  !! 

Swiss roll is made by rolling a thin sheet of sponge cake spread with jam into a log shape. Usually served in slices, the result is a spiral of cake layered with jam. Variations can include whipped cream fillings, sometimes mixed with chopped fresh or dried fruit; the sponge itself can also be flavoured with ingredients such as chocolate.

Swiss rolls should be eaten within a few days of making. If cream is used in the filling, the roll should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container.

The results are heavenly; a small slice will do for every culinary occasion, from the traditional afternoon coffee break to a special dinner party.

Enjoy !!!

Music - Themed Birthday Cake

Baking a themed cake makes a birthday or celebration truly special. Homemade birthday cakes always score high on taste, but not look as pretty as the ones at the baker's display window. A themed based birthday cake can make the day more special. Imagine the look of your friend or family member's  face when they look at their birthday cake, which is based on the theme of their interests. WOW....

A music-themed birthday cake would be perfect for a musician or music lover. 

Here is the cake, which I made for our friend, who is a great music lover and a musician.

Carrot cake with cream cheese filling. Iced in chocolate frosting. 

Covered in  blue fondant, decorated with fondant piano keys and guitar and drums fondant figures.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE!!!

Themed Fondant Cake (Teletubbies)

The fondant was actually pretty easy to work with. This was my first fondant cake, specially made for my friend’s son Joe, who was celebrating his 3rd birthday . He loves teletubbies .

This was my first time ever working with fondant. I made Marshmallow fondant(MMF) covered it over a vanilla cake filled with vanilla butter cream.

I loved the whole process of this, and I'm looking forward to doing this again!
