Dave's 'Spicy' Cake

I had been planning this cake for a long time! For a lover of all things spicy, 'Dave's Insanity Sauce' cake. The only thing I would change about it if I made it again would be its size!!! It was HUGE! I made chocolate sponges and filled the inside and all over with a chilli chocolate ganache butter cream. The chilli chocolate gave it a lovely warmth and was quite gooey! The cake was then covered in sugarpaste and I used paste colours to do the detail. I made sugarpaste chillis and spelt out Happy Birthday next to the cake!

Everyone enjoyed it, so I was extremely happy! :)

Bits and bobs

Above is a chocolate fudge cake I made for a friend's birthday. I used candy melts to make the lettering and used gold lustre spray too. Also, some dog cupcakes I made one evening as a treat for a friend I was seeing the next day! She has her own dog walking business so I thought she'd love the dog theme!!

Introducing.... Elmo!

I got to make another batch of cookie monsters for a friend to take into the office, and best of all, this time Elmo was joining them!! I used less coloured sugar than before so they weren't as messy to eat and added some yum butter cream to the inside of the cake. I've been told that they were all gobbled up pretty quickly, so I'm very happy :)
