My Little One's Birthday : Take 1 .....The Actual Day

Well for starters he is no longer little....growing up fast I tell you. How time is flying....For this year he wanted something from ' Miles from Tomorrowland ' and Ninjago. 

Lately I had not been doing too many cakes especially with advices from all ends about resting my hands, I somehow seem to have lost my Mojo for it so kept putting it off and off and off.......then there was only two days and still hadn't done anything. Just as I thought I will start, I got a call from one of my relatives that he was coming over from from another state so told him to stay over for dinner (Coooooking..... ;-). Sooooooooooo  now I had only 1 day ( just couple of hours to be precise  before  all the cousins came over at 6:30 pm).

The family had already come over and I was still trying to finish it to a somewhat presentable state  before cutting it (worst experience doing a cake when all the guests have arrived)  as such all the finer details are missing ( which I usually do in the end), some of the characters I wanted to do are missing, photography is horrible....In short this could be termed as one of my WORST cakes :-(....but still made with LOVE I guess............

 So here is 'Merc' in outer space from 'Miles from Tomorrowland'.......

 

 

 

Five little Ducks went out one Day........a 1st Birthday Cake

A close relative's lovely daughter turned  one this week and I had wanted to do a cake for her and  promised  a while back. As usual, even though I had already asked what they wanted long ago back and actually designed the cake on the computer ( which I don't usually do ) , I only ended up starting something concrete last week  and had to cut out some bits from the design cos of time and some unexpected events.

Now coming to the design, the little lady loved Five little Ducks to bits and she was going to wear a gorgeous white dress with bits of purple and bright pink in it......so we have a theme now........ 

Had to do quite a bit of baking for this one , tried a new medium for parts of the cake  which tested my patience till the last minute (weather didn't help either)  and finally finished it at the last minute with a bit of physical collateral damage.........oh no.... no....not to the cake but moi....... So here is my  Happy cake..... with the ducks having a swim on a sunny day..........hope you like it :-)

Mothers Morning Tea

I got invited to a Morning Tea for all the  mothers at my Kid's school and decided to make a quick cake to take along. First time I tried the Tulips and had to have an early start to the day to finish off the cake ;-)

 

 

 

A quick cake for my hubby.....

My hubby is not a big fan of cakes ......cutting one is always the last thing on his mind, so I was initially not going to make one but due to pressure from all ends ( not him but everybody else ) .

Voila......A last minute vegetarian chocolate cake  with a mishmash of some of the decorations I had made previously and covered with only chocolate butter cream.
