More baking – this time a purple and white swirled rosette cake for the mother of one of my best friends who is celebrating a birthday this weekend.
Can you believe this is my first purple cake? It’s travelling to Okaihau today so I hope it has a safe trip!
Been baking. These are vegan cupcakes with cream cheese flavoured duotone buttercream roses.
I know, cream cheese and buttercream do not sound vegan. Did you know professional buttercream is made from vegetable shortening? It keeps better*. Thank goodness – doing a cake decorating course without sampling the frosting would have been rather difficult.
These babies will be sold off to sweet toothed TRN staff to help me recoup the ridiculous amounts of money I’ve been spending on baking stuff lately…
*Apparently most use meringue powder though (with egg) to get the buttercream to “set” a little.
Cute! I helped Nathalie at work to make a cake for her little brother Aaron’s 8th birthday this weekend. It’s a dirt race-track with grass, if you can’t tell!
Cake is eggless chocolate cake with vegan chocolate buttercream, the grass is tinted vanilla buttercream.
The banner may be my proudest moment, so THAT’S why I bought those tiny wooden pegs!
Facebook chat is the lowest form of communication. The only people who do it are your best friend from the third grade and your aunt. Sending smoke signals would be cooler.
