Three Tiered Chocolate Monster Cake (Katherine Sabbath Inspired)

Hey everyone!

Would you just look at that Monster?! 

I had such a blast making this cake! It is inspired by the wonderful and talented Katherine Sabbath and her own cakes, which are just out of this wold! Take a look below!

ALL CORYRIGHT FOR THE ABOVE PICTURE IS KATHERINE SABBATH, I DO NOT OWN THIS PICTURE OR THE CAKE DESIGN.

Isn't it just beautiful? Look at all those colours, though this is a cheesecake not a cake, but its still brilliantly impressive! I cannot find her online through a website to link to or on Facebook, but she is on Instagram so go search for @Katherine_Sabbath and give her a follow!

So this was my cake, and the first of taking on the inspiration for doing a Kat inspired cake! I loved designing and making this cake, it was such fun and was completed in 48 hours which I was very surprised with if I'm honest!

The cake itself is a three tiered sponge cake, with two layers of chocolate and one layer of coffee cake which is in the middle of the two chocolates. The sponge was then all sandwiched together using coffee buttercream and then crumb coated in the same buttercream. 

The cake was then covered in Coffee buttercream, and chocolate bark shards we're placed on top as well as white and blue meringue kisses, chunks of golden crunchie bar was also sprinkled over the top of the cake. A full on chocolate and coffee overload! 

Here's a close up of the Chocolate Bark before it went onto the cake! White, milk and dark chocolate with crushed crunchie pieces and crushed meringue kisses sprinkled on top! Such a golden effect! It reminded me a bit of gold nuggets hehe 

Side view of the cake, with the meringue kisses, chocolate crunchy and the chocolate shards! 

And there we have it! That's the big monster of a chocolate cake haha

Think this photo is my favourite out of all of them. Big thanks to my younger brother for taking some fab pics of the cake! 

Much love and baking wishes! 

Mother's Day Cake

Ahh! Hey everyone! 

How are we all doing this evening, morning, afternoon, wherever you are in this big wide world! 

I for one am feeling great, this blog is finally starting to pick itself up (by itself, I mean me...of course...or am I?) 

Anyway, all pages are getting updated, and most of them are all up to date, though sadly apart from this one. BUT! We've nearly got you all covered, seeing as we have a few final posts to go then everything will be all in sync!

We currently have some Banoffee cupcakes in the oven, but we will post them at a later date...hopefully tonight or tomorrow. It has only just occrred to me that I should of probably been putting the dates on these posts to when they actually took place, but I haven't. Sorry guys, may do it at some point! 

So the above photo is the second, yes I did just say second, Mother's Day cake. The first was a dummy and it was made for my college course, but this! Oh no, this beauty was a fruit cake and decorated too! 

It's pretty much the same as the one I made for college, except it has pink roses instead of really pale pink roses, it's mint green instead of pale baby blue and it has some different flowers around the outside and different embossing on the cake board.

So basically, the design is the same, the colours are a tad different, only a tad though! 

I loved making this cake and my Mum and Auntie enjoyed it too, sadly my Nan didn't but she was with us in spirit I'm sure! 

I made the lovely roses, but I know they need working on..I'm sorting that out don't worry, still learning in some ways but aren't we all! I was aiming this page to be a website but it's kind of turned into a blog (which it is I suppose, I know!) But I do prefer it as a blog, so hey ho!

I embossed little flowers around the top of the cake, made thin little pink daisies to go around the outside of the cake too! I then piped 'Happy Mother's Day' in graduated line work on top in white then pink. To top it all off, I pipped a snail trail around the base of the cake in pink and embossed the cake board.  

Ta-Da! All piping was done with Royal Icing :) 

Speak soon and much love,
