WOW! Its 2014 now and tbh I gave up blogging but thought why not keep to it so this will be my new years resolution.
To blog atleast once a week! LOL
How have you lovely readers been? Hope you've had a great start to the new year if not here is some lovely homemade cakes that me and my sister Judy made for my friends birthday!! YUMMM :P

| Fruit Birthday Cake with KitKats and Banoffee Minion Cupcakes!! |
Fruit Birthday Cake:
Sponge: Vanilla
Filling: Fresh Cream, Strawberry Jam and Fruit Cocktail
Covering: Fresh Cream
Topping: Mango, Strawberry, Blueberries, Kiwi, Peaches and Grapes
Border: KitKat
Extra(s): Chocolate Plaque (Bought but hand written)
The fruits we placed on the cake was sour due to it not being rip (learnt from that mistake, lol) but it looked amazing! As a first attempt me and Judy are very proud of it even though it got a little mashed on the way to the venue xD
Banoffee Minion Cupcakes:
Sponge: Banana Sponge
Filling: Caramel
Topping: Caramel Buttercream
Decorations: Hand made minions and Gru's Logo
Ok.. I admit the minions don't look like minions but I'm still pleased with my first attempt at using icing! I didn't realise how hard it was to shape stuff from fondant icing. I tried using a youtube video but that didn't help much as I couldn't keep up so in the end we gave up and made our own xD
The taste: OMG! the caramel hardened inside of the cake aswell as the caramel buttercream so it was more of a banana cupcake *sighs*
But as people say, "Try and try again and you will succeed!"
Lets hope so... (Fingers Crossed)

| Half&Half Fruit Cake!! |
Sponge: Chocolate(Top) and Vanilla(Bottom)
Filling: Fresh Cream and Fruit Cocktail
Topping: Kiwi, Grapes, Blackcurrants, Cherries, Strawberries and Raspberries covered in Strawberry Fruit jel
Border: Milk Chocolate Fingers and White Chocolate Fingers
Extra(s): Homemade "23" Milk Chocolate plaque
I call this the surprise cake as you don't realise that its half chocolate and half vanilla until you cut into it. This cake is definitely an improvement as it tasted so much nicer (no sour fruits so lesson DID learn!).
I must also admit that the Strawberry jel ruined the appearance of the cake but it was needed in order for the fruits to stay fresh as the venue was in a club! It was a fun night.. .. .. From what I could remember lol..
Anyways I will post new cake updates when we make them (lol)
Thank-You for reading
