Fondant Owls


My first attempt at using fondant - not too bad even if I do say so myself! These are for my Grandma's 80th birthday cake. It's the boozy Christmake made from the recipe on www.thepinkwhisk.co.uk I am still feeding it with more brandy for another week before decorating it.

Ziggy's 1st Birthday Cake


The Hummingbird Bakey Brooklyn Blackout Cake covered with blue icing, chocolate Pocky biscuits, edible glitter, edible white pearls (bubbles) and duck candles. He liked I think?

Mini Chocolate Kahlua Cupcakes

Wow - really good, perfect for a party they have quite a kick!


Black Forest FroYo


I used full fat Greek yoghurt, honey, toasted almonds, morello cherry jam and some chuks of chocolate covered marzipan. Yummy flavour but I made a big mistake. I thought 3 hours of freezing the drum would be enough but it wasn't so it didn't really churn and went quite hard. Next froyo I will freeze the drum overnight.

I made these for my friend Bonny's 31st birthday present and they went down very well!


Homemade Pizza

 
We used the base from Jamie Oliver's Jamie At Home, then for sauce I roased some home grown tomatoes in olive oil and salt and pepper then sqaushed them through a seive. IU then heated the sauce through with some oregano, a garlic crushed clove and splash of balsamic vinager. Then spead some blobs of pesto, some pine nuts, some sliced onions, peppers, olives and mushrooms and covered with mozzerella - way better than Dominoes!
