Oh what Business I've been up to!

Oh I've been up to quite a bit. I just haven't been bothered to blog it.

Let's start at this one.



I think this was the first cake I made when I started making them for my partner's work colleges birthdays. This was actually for his boss though, as a Congratulations for a charity run. I think it was like 25k or something. Something that I couldn't have done lol.


This cake was two dark chocolate cakes. Chocolate buttercream in the middle. Covered with a light layer of chocolate buttercream as a crumb coat. Then covered in a dark chocolate ganache.

The chocolate curls and the writing were the hardest bits. I still need practise on the writing.





I love getting feedback for my cakes. Everyone loved it. They were very impressed and the cake was moist. I always worry my cakes will dry out.

Coffee and Kaluha Balls!

Is there a better mix then Coffee and Kaluha?


Yes! Coffee and Kaluha Balls!










These were the favourite so far. No big surprise really.


Interesting fact, the Kaluha doesn't seem to cook out as much as if you were actually cooking with it opposed to baking.


I found they weren't as moist as the very first ones i did, the Choc on Choc Balls. I haven't had a chance to try them yet! This week I can't have alcohol. So I'll definately be making more!





Stay tuned for more Cake Bites. I have a feeling Green Peppermint is next!
