Valentine's Cake 2009

The cake decorating classes are coming on, although I got told off for making sugarcraft flowers last night instead of doing piping like we were supposed to be doing.

I'm quite pleased with the results though. The cake's a lemon sponge covered with marzipan and then sugarpaste icing. I went for the classic look rather than the usual novelty cakes...

Valentine's Cake 2008

Blimey, 2 cakes barely a week apart. This one's a white chocolate sponge cake smothered with a home-made white chocolate cream. Ideal if you like white chocolate, or rubbish if you don't.



It's probably the richest cake I've made so far. I feel a bit queasy having eaten more than my fair share of the leftovers.

I bought the candy flowers, btw. Although I'm planning on trying my hand at sugarcraft at some point...
