It’s such a great time of year! Everyone is really festive and mostly drunk from all the Christmas parties lol – it’s jut a happy time. If I had my way, it would be Christmas all year round in our household. Stud has to reign me in a bit – much to my dismay Normally each Christmas, I make a trifle, Christmas ice cream (vanilla ice-cream combined with mixed fruit and nut, and chocolate) and then maybe a fruit salad. This year, I wanted to make something different o with my...

1st birthday jungle cake

I have never been a massive fan of children. Anyone who knows me is aware of this and I was very sure to prep my family at an early stage that there might not be any grandkids. So when my best friend Ariane and her husband gave birth to their beautiful baby boy Nathan and asked me to be his Godmother my first reaction was “Ummm are you sure??” apparently they were! A year on and it was the little mans first birthday party on the weekend so in his honour, I decided to attempt making a cake. Cakes I can do, fondant covered cakes with fondant animals, I wasn’t so sure about. I had told his mum I would make it and would do a “dry run” early on so I knew whether or not I could make it happen (and also whether or not she should call...

Cake pops

A good friend of ours is pregnant and when I found out there was a surprise baby shower for her, a billion thoughts went running through my mind and started fighting with each other on what to make. Thinking of trying my hand at fondant, I went out and bought some from a cake supply place near me and also grabbed some food colouring gel and powder to make it baby blue. Fast forward a month and who the hell has time? Well that’s not true. Its not that I didn’t have time, it’s that I was meant to do a ‘dry run’ prior to the event and kept putting it off due to, well, laziness. So about two weeks before the event I had narrowed it down to either the cake with fondant (risky without a dry run) or some simple cake pops. Ding ding! We have a...

Mega Cupcake

I am a sucker for kitchen gadgets, especially those made of silicone. I don’t know what it is, silicone just gets me. Perhaps years of having everything stick to, well everything has scarred me for life. Along came the mega cupcake silicone mould. Its gadget, silicone, novelty and CAKE all rolled in to one. So, I had to have one. After waiting until they were suitably priced, I purchased one online and couldn’t wait for it to arrive. Finally my day had come, just in time for my mother’s birthday. Handy! Some die hard cake makers may want to block their ears, but I used packet mixes for lack of time. I purchased two as I had previously read the moulds can take a lot of batter. I settled on a butter cake base and a banana cake top. Wanting to use the filling facility, I decided to make...
