Mag Wheel Birthday Cake

Classic rich chocolate cake, torted with Nutella buttercream, covered in chocolate fondant. All details made from fondant and the only non edible item is the candles.

I must say I loved how the tread on the tyre turned out.

And to go with the Mag we had 12 individually named classic chocolate cupcakes frosted with Nutella Buttercream, styled with fondant name discs, royal icing and chocolate racing cars, to give to the kids as thank you presents. The whole set of cupcakes and cake turned out wonderfully.

Marzipan Roses

Three little somethings for your pleasure. Tiny marzipan roses, each of them smaller than an Australian 5 cent piece in diameter, dusted with red edible glitter, just practicing making roses, the Peggy Porschen way. I always thought that I could make a decent rose, but to get them looking like a perfect florists rose is tricky. More practice is required.

You can expect more roses from now on, working up to a rose tower cake, in about 10 years when I have got them perfect!

Don't hold your collective breaths.
