For the Love of Minions

It's been my younger sisters birthday recently and as a surprise me and my other sister decided to make her a birthday cake. We thought about it for ages and then my sister thought of the perfect idea! A Despicable me cake! She may be turning 20, but my sister is obsessed with the little minions.

                 SEE.......

As you know from previous blogs (my serial followers) I can bake and decorate quite well, so I thought why not, let's give it a go!

It only took a couple of hours to make, but me and my sister spent about an hour of that laughing at how cute the minions looked.

                     Here was the finished piece!  

               And we were right, Kim absolutely loved it.....

           In fact, she kept all the little minions off the cake.

My Little Pony

Well, It seems that after my success of last weeks Minnie cake, I had got myself another cake job. But this one wasn't going to be easy! A 3D Horse head. I was way out of my comfort zone, but after watching dozens and dozens of youtube clips and reading in books, websites and baking magazines, I finally had enough courage to start the cake and I must say so myself it didn't look half bad! But see for yourself......

I don't know if there's any of you out there that like baking or want to get into baking, but I took photos of every stage of making this and thought I'd run through a step by step "diary" of how to make it... so you don't have to trawl through hours of videos and books.

Gotta love that mouse

I've been a busy bee this weekend cooking up a storm. An extra hobby of mine, is baking cakes and cupcakes and if I do say so myself I'm not bad. No where near a pro, but practise makes perfect. So anyway, someone had heard that I do this and had asked if I could make her daughters birthday cake... Minnie Mouse! I had never done a cake like that, but gave it a go anyway! What do you rek?

The finished Product!
