It's the little things..

Well good morning bakers..

If your here for our current challenge of ANYTHING GOES  click here

It is Friday so it's time for

So we have talked about doing cakes the right way (legally) and using the best ingredients so today it's all about the little things.

Like cards the right embellishments will finish the cake off perfectly, and even if you can see fault it will look so amazing no one would know lol..

Flowers are great on female cakes and hey hide a multitude of sins... a last minute bump or knock, or even a smudge... 

On male cakes dots or stars are great too. On many occasions I have needed to add a star, dot or flower as I had a tiny bit of ganache or colouring on my fingers and when I smoothed the cake I left a smudge lol...

Another great tip is to ice the board. Some people see this as a waist of fondant - but it looks so professional. You can leave it plain or be experimental and use cutters to imprint or even use matts... the world is a creative place so have a play

And my last tip is to use ribbon..... around the cake drum - there are so many ribbons out there, that you will find one to match any cake.. It really does finish the cake perfectly!!

So here are some cakes I made this week...

A Mr Maker themed cake

A ladybug cake to match all the partyware

For a special teacher

Birthday cupcakes

Daisy cupcakes

Well thanks for stopping by.

See you next week...

Butter vs Margerine

Good morning all

For the current challenge - decorate a bag go here

It's Fridays which means it's time for cakey Friday...

So bakers... what do you use?

In my house stork is a bad word I am a butter girl all the way - especially in baking!!

When I first started cake baking...many moons ago... I used stork as it's what my mum used. 

It is still what she uses now. 

Then as I started baking more and more I tried different spreads, flora buttery, stork, butter, and others too... but what made my decision is that if I was making a freshly baked cake why put marg in it? 

Margarine is an imitation of butter, made from vegetable fats and created by scientists...honestly look it up lol

Butter is from a cow.... 

Obviously there are good and bad points for both butter and marg - look it up it's quite a good read and a definite eye opener!!

Now I am not saying marg/stork doesn't taste nice and it is only my opinion but give butter a try.... 

After all why have a McDonald's when you could have a real beef burger? 

Yep it serves a purpose but you know that it is full of allsorts lol...

So this weeks share is a black and white Wedding cake

The ribbon and diamonte ribbon were both from that craft place

Thanks for popping by... see you again next week xxx
