LA Pool Party

A friend of mine asked me to make a cake for their LA Pool (birthday) party. Again, it didnt quite turn out as I had initially visioned. Sometimes I over estimate what I can do (in particular the amount of time I have).

So the "stars" and "red carpet" were in line with the theme of the party. I added the figurine (loosely based on the birthday girl) and the showy-ness of LA people. Quite happy with the figurine. Stars spell out "Chagi Bear" as requested by the birthday girl.

Lessons learned:

• Realistic. Dont under-estimate what can be achieved in a set amount of time.

Baby thoughts

For me?! No!! A colleague was having a baby and I thought it would be cute to come up with a baby themed set of cupcakes!!

This time I actually tried to plan what I wanted to do with the decorations for the cupcakes. Whilst I was happy with the results, it was not quite what I had in mind initially.

Lessons learned:

• not plan? It didnt quite turn out as I planned.

The World of Figurines!!

Last year I went to my second Planet cake class. Let's just say that it opened me up to what you can really do with sugar!

It started with my first taste of figurines in class.

This gave me inspiration. And ideas. And I came up with....

I was more than happy with my little baby Seseame St friends!!

Lessons leaned:

• Get all the colouring done first before starting the figurines
• Keep them away from hot food!
