Three Tiered Victoria Monster Cake

Evening everyone!

How are we all doing? 

Bit of an old cake I'm afraid, by old I just mean that I forgot to post it!

The cake is just like the Chocolate Monster Cake which you can see here! But it's Victoria Sponge..Go on, click the link, you know you want too ;)

But it's Victoria Sponge!

Don't look! There's a baby picture of me in the background! *Covers screen with hand* Anyway, I'll crack on with it shall I? 

The above cake, was again three tiers, with vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam sandwiching the sponges together. Crumb coated then covered in smooth Vanilla buttercream. 

Green, white and lilac meringue kisses we're made and placed on top and around the base of the cake (I thought this added more 'WOW' factor to it, don't you think?"

Milk, dark and white chocolate shards, covered in pretty pearlescent sugar balls and then sprayed with silver shimmer spray. I have christened this chocolate bark, Galaxy Bark!

The cake then had the chosen sweets (By my granddad for my granddad) Which we're the classic, Bassett All-sorts! 

I LOVE making these Katherine Sabbath inspired cakes! They're just so fun to make and you can never go over the top or do too little, they always look elegant and crazy which is just amazing and so fun! They're so creative! Give it a go yourself and go mad!

We also made some cupcakes for the special occasion! Fluffy Vanilla sponge, smooth Vanilla buttercream, complete with Silver and Gold shimmer '80' toppers!

I enjoy making these cakes so much and I enjoy working with buttercream even more, it makes such a great finish and they just look beautiful!

If YOU wish to make this cake, stay tuned and the recipe will be up soon! 

Much love as always, 

KitKat and M&M's Chocolate cake

Hi all, 

You may feel like I start to spam you in a moment, and well...That's because I am! And I plan too! This is because, as I have stated in my last post, that once I make a cake or I bake anything I end up posting it on Facebook. Quite frequently actually because I have a lovely little page there, which you can all access if you wish to have a nosey at it. 

But back to the subject, yeah...I post everything on Facebook so I'm trying to update this wonderful blog, spruce it up a bit, fill it with posts and make it look more homey. A bit more homey like my book review page. ( Which is you're ever interested in having a look then please go to: Tinks Books and Reviews

Anyway! Back to what I was saying. The above cake was just a little something I made with the things we had in the house at the time. I did see this design on facebook in honesty over just a page that I had liked and really wanted to make it!

It's a normal homemade chocolate cake with homemade chocolate frosting in the middle and around the cake. I then snapped some kit-kat's up and placed them around the cake, and then covered the top in plain chocolate M&M's. Very chocolaty I must say! 

I enjoyed making this cake and I loved the colour of what the M&M's made the cake look like as it make it look more cheerful and fun! Though it was a little messy to eat as all the M&M's kept falling off! Haha, but it was fun non the less!

I must say, thank you for people looking at my page recently! I've seen a big jump in the sights over the page and I am over the moon! Thank you ever so much! :D Please feel free to comment on any of the cakes, about what you like about them and what you don't like about them and if I can improve on anything. I would like to hear your comments about them, good and bad! 

Much love, 
Emma xxx
