Final Bakes of 2015

Hi!

I can't believe that 2015 is coming to a close and a new year is just around the corner! Eek! I thought I'd end the year with some of my bakes which I didn't manage to blog about from August - September 2015.

My goal for 2016 is to be able to upload at least one bake a month so wish me luck.

Anyways..

Hemp Surprise

Sponge: Vanilla

Filling: Vanilla Buttercream

Covering: Vanilla Buttercream 

Extra(s): Fondant Decorations

This cake was baked for S friends and it was his idea. I didn't manage to take the inside but it was a rainbow cake inside. I'm going to lie. I didn't taste the cake nor did the birthday boys because someone stole it! Someone decided that they need cake and stole the whole thing.  

Chiffon Fruit Cake

Sponge: Vanilla Chiffon 

Filling: Fresh Cream and Fruits

Covering: Fresh Cream, Chocolate Fingers, Malteasers

Topping: Fresh Fruit, Chocolate Heart Shaped Lollipop

Fruit Cupcake

Sponge: Chocolate

Covering: Vanilla Buttercream 

Topping: Fresh Kiwi, Fresh Strawberry dipped in Chocolate

I made these for my friend's niece. A traditional Chinese Birthday Cake is made from a chiffon sponge so I attempted it and it was a success as it had risen well and tasted yummy.

Mini Fruit Cake

Sponge: Vanilla

Filling: Fresh Cream, Strawberry Jam, Fruit Cocktail

Covering: Fresh Cream

Topping: Dark Chocolate Ganache, Fresh Fruit

I made this for S birthday cake. I used the Wilton Rainbow cake pan and was so disappointed. The cake was so small but it was just about enough for 5 people. The cake tasted just right as I didn't add icing sugar to the fresh cream due to the sweetness from the fruit cocktail syrup and strawberry jam. 

Chocoholic

Sponge: Nutella Chocolate

Filling: Dark Chocolate Ganache, Nutella Butter cream

Covering: Nutella Buttercream, Chocolate Fondant

Topping: Fondant Flowers

This was my first time making fondant flowers and I was so proud of what I had achieved even though it wasn't perfect in my eyes. I made this to go with 50 Nutella Cupcakes for a wedding reception. I was told that the colour theme was purple so I used 2 different hades of purple. I originally had 3 but it didn't work well so I used white flowers with some purple food colouring painted on.
The bride was shocked and overwhelmed by the cake; the guests loved the accompanying cupcakes and they had an amazing reception.

Thank-You for reading about my baking ventures
