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, 

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! 

Paris Themed Birthday Cake

Evening everyone! 

How are we all doing? 

I've just finished going through all the posts, seeing as half of them had photo's missing! Can you believe it, no? Me neither!

Anyway, I don't have many more updates to give you all, well, I do but I will do them all in a batch post. You will all soon see!  For now I will grant you the access to view some of the last cakes that I have recently done, there are three but will all be posted in separate posts (They need their glory! Haha) 

And here we have it! The two tiered, Paris themed birthday cake. I really did enjoy making this cake so much and for once I wasn't really stressful, Hoozah! It was great and so fun!

Now to the specifics: The bottom layer was a Funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam sandwiched together, the top tier is chocolate cake sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream. 

The bottom layer was then covered in white sugar paste and the top in mint green. Emerald stripes of sugarpaste we're placed around the bottom tier, whilst emerald polka dots we're placed around the top tier. 

Using modelling paste, I created one large pink rose to sit on top, and four little white roses to be placed on top of the bottom tier. I made silhouettes out of black sugarpaste and placed them inbetween the emerald stripes. Making the black stand out more on the white background. 

Last but not least, there's an Eiffel Tower stuck on top, constructed out of Rice cripsies and covered with many layers of white chocolate and then green. We then placed black and white ribbon around the base of each cake to make it look even more pretty, and pinned them in with a pearl coloured bobby bin (Don't worry, it was brand new, not used for anything else and sterilized first) 

I really enjoyed making this cake, especially the silhouettes, I just love them!  I really liked how it looked and everything. It was a surprise for the customer as her partner had bought her tickets to go away to Paris for the weekend and surprised her with her birthday cake! How wicked is that! Very happy to be a part of it. 

Much love,
