Bunting Cake
So I tried my decorating tools! The cutters are great but I have nothing nice to say about the sugar shaper.
This decorating work is a lot harder and I am definitely going to seek professional help! Until then you'll have to do with my not-so-neat creations!

I just finished baking this... smells great! Dan's having his slice with a glass of milk and if I am in a good mood tomorrow morning I might even take some into work!
This weekend I attempted a Red Velvet Cake and the idea was to decorate it will a red polka dot icing. The technique I had chosen was to cut out small circles of the red icing and roll them into the white background icing.
All did not go to plan - the Red Velvet is more like Maroon Velvet and several times Dan had to step in but even so, the red polka dot icing turned into baby pink icing with hot pink icing stuck on with edible glue. I know this was my first attempt but I am still frustrated and I hope that next time I will be able to show a better piece of work.
Until then, I hope you enjoy these pictures.
