Cake Decorating!!!!

This is just a quick post about my food tech assignment I did yesterday. The assignment was to make a cake for a celebration. There was a written part of the assignment aswell where we had to design a party at our house but the main thing really was the cake decorating.

For some crazy reason, I chose to do a Kitchen Tea and was inspired to make a cake shaped like a Teapot. Now those of you who have never had cake decorating experience might not be able to appreciate this feat to the full extent of what I have managed to do, but let me tell you this was HARD. Instead of going with something simple but effective, I picked like the hardest cake in the entire world to make! But I pulled it off and I've got some pictures below to prove it.

This is what it looked like at school...(click to enlarge)

A couple of extra photos....


Here's a slide show of some other cakes from the class.

But I wouldn't of been able to do this without the help and my Mum, Eileen - The master of cake decorating..and Alison I guess who helped me make a couple of the flowers on the cake. So a HUGE thanks goes out to them. Next challenge Christmas cakes! Eileen is going to teach me how to make some really cute mini ones.

And for all you Cake Decorators out there a word of advice from Eileen - "It's not what you do right, it's how well you cover up what you did wrong!"

Until another time,
