Healthy Yummies

 

So many times to make birthday cakes.  It’s something that I really enjoy doing but, if you’re not making lots of cakes per day it’s very difficult to price.  It takes so long to make the cake,  ice and decorate it that the cost goes through the roof.

Having said that, recently I have been making a few for relatives and friends to get a little practice in and really enjoying it to a point that I’m thinking about taking a course to do it properly.

Here are my first attempts, all a bit amateur but I’ve got the bug now!

This one was for our Freya Lilly’s birthdy last year, she wanted ‘Hello Kitty’, I loved doing this one but found it frustrating not having the know how, or the right equipment.  As you can see I messed up on the face with a big crease through it.

 

 

This was for our lovely Dave’s 70th, this year – he lives on a boat!  Same frustrations and again I messed up and ended up with a blob of apricot jam next to the anchor, I wasn’t quite sure how to sort it out!

 

 

Captain America sheild…..

 

 

This was for 3 different birthdays, so we kept it simple.  One of the girls had an obsession with cherries…….

 

 

Last but not least this one was for my boyfriend Mat and Jo’s birthday this year.  I made the mistake of asking him what he wanted, I nearly choked when he showed me the picture – I don’t have a steady hand at all.  But I am extremely chuffed with the way this one came out. 

 

 

I’m ready for the next level now, with a course and some new equipment under my belt I’ll be flying!!  Perhaps add it to the Healthy Yummies reportoire!
