On the subject of cakes….

On the subject of cakes…. I just celebrated my first wedding anniversary with my husband and we ate the top layer of the wedding cake! The cake was made by Ruth Lawill from Divine inspirations in Brisbane and the photo is courtesy of Todd Hunter Mcgaw.

A few other pretty cakes

For the past year or so I’ve tried making a few different cakes and using different techniques. I have a big family so there's always a reason to make a cake!  Here’s just a few photos I’ve found and I’ll post more as I find them.

My sister’s 40th Birthday cake.




My nieces christening cake.

A pretty cake for Angie

Well this is my first post and it’s hard to start.

I’ve wanted to write a blog for a while but didn’t know what subject to focus on. Instead of any one thing I’ve decided to focus on all things pretty. So let’s get started!

Tonight I made a red velvet cake for my friends birthday. It was my first attempt at a red velvet and also my first attempt at the weaved basket icing effect.

I used this recipe to make the cake http://allrecipes.com.au/recipe/10766/red-velvet-cake.aspx

I was extremely hesitant to use this recipe becuase I’ve never baked with vinegar before, but it in the end I think turned out pretty good and I don’t think the vinegar could be tasted.

I used this tutorial to help with the weaved icing. http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-decorate-cake-basket-weave-pattern-214451/
