Alas!

Alas! I've been very slack when making my delicious cakes. I forgot to take a photo of at least one of them.

This cake was for a birthday at my partner's work.

The order was for a plain cake. A plain cake! How can I be creative with a plain cake!

Well, let me tell you about it.

I cooked a butter cake. Two actually. I have a think about the cakes being big lol.

The butter cake was so moist and yummy! Very difficult for me to make with only a wooden spoon though. Which brings me to the important part.

The icing.

I studied up. I wanted to make a crusting buttercream.

Unfortunately I don't have an icing smoother. I must get one of these! Nor did I have an electric mixer of sorts. Yes. I made the crusting buttercream using a wooden spoon.

It was the most stressful and hard working part of the whole night!

My plan was to cover the cake in a slight lemon buttercream. Decorate with an airbrush stencil saying happy birthday.

Unfortunately my homemade stencil didn't work.

Next time - don't use paper!

So I made a fondant amp. Cord and Guitar. As the person in question was musical and had a guitar interest. I like making the cakes personal.

Hand making guitars out of fondant however isn't an easy take, the better-half helped out on this.

So, you'll have to use your imagination to see that cake unfortunately.
