BIRTHDAY CAKES!!!!!

A little post today as I feel like I've been neglecting this for a little while.  With the festive season in full swing I've been a bit rushed off my feet! But haven't we all? Anyway I've had two birthday cakes to contend with since my last post and thought they were worth a share.

This snowbird one took a lot of patience and planning. It was one large cake and then two smaller ones cut in half. The carving took a lot of thought as I could not get my head around all the tutorials and advice online. So, instead I just took a leap of faith and cut a little bit at a time. The icing was the standard Royal Icing.

Feeling Stormy, this cake was just your standard yogurt cake recipe with a few pretty decorations. The chocolate ribbon around the outside and the cream waves on top. Both were pretty simple to make but I did have to decipher it all from a french recipe book. Either way, a lovely simple cake that looks great.
