Lots of Cookie Monsters!

This weeks task was to make 30 Cookie Monster cupcakes for a friends baby shower. I used a standard cupcake recipe to make them so the decorating was the part that took longest!!! I made my own blue sugar, using granulated sugar and some blue colour creator and a lot of mixing! I covered the top of the cakes with a thin layer of icing so the sugar would stick. The eyes are giant milky bar buttons with choc chips glued on (with edible glue of course!)


Aside from them being rather messy to eat, everyone enjoyed looking at them and eating them!

Here's the review from my friend Rozi; "Sarah made these cupcakes for my baby shower and I was thrilled with them. My guests had never seen cupcakes like them and they were a great talking point, as well as being very tasty! I would definitely ask her for more cakes again in the future. :)"

 

Spongebob Birthday Cake

At the weekend I made a birthday cake for a friends son's 4th Birthday. It took me from 11am until 6pm to make and everything went to plan! I made a large rectangular tray bake and sliced it through the middle, filling it with butter cream and strawberry jam. Then cut the cake to shape and rolled out the various coloured sugarpaste and positioned them on the cake. To make the yellow sugarpaste bumpy I just pushed my thumb into the icing!

I was so happy with how it turned out and I've heard the cake went down well at his party! Here is the review; 'The cake was superb! The Birthday boy loved it! He spent the entire afternoon before his party looking at it and was devastated when we had to cut it. All our guests thought it was amazing and it tasted delicious too. Can't wait till his next Birthday to see what you can do for him then. Thank you so much Sarah you made his day!!!'
