Here are some more gorgeous cakes that i have churned out recently for T-Cake. These cakes were made during the festive season, so as you can imagine i have not stopped......the baking has had to take second priority as the demand in cakes was so much recently, but hopefully i will now be able to pick back up where i left off. (I know baking cakes is baking....but i want to stretch further than cakes on T-Cakery).
Above is the Ben 10 cake that i previously mentioned in my blog, it was a rich chocolate sponge, covered lavishly with chocolate fudge filling. I designed this cake on the watch Ben 10 wears (or the Omnitrix as i have now been corrected). The little boy wanted to have Ben in the middle with the aliens around him, as i have only just ventured into the modelling world (in fondant terms atleast) i didnt feel ready to take on such a well known character, so luckily i came across a Ben 10 figure in my local cake shop and it was something he could take off the cake and keep, so worked out well!!! I was told the cake tasted as good as it looked!!
This Cheerleader cake was made slightly differently to my other cakes. The recipient of the cake didnt actually like sponge, so the customer asked that i make this using a brownie mix to substitute. I was a tiny bit apprehensive about this, as i know brownies are renown for being gooey stodgy gloops of heaven....and i didnt want to cover the brownie only to find that it sunk in the middle. In the end i cooked the brownie batter for 40 minutes as opposed to the 25 minutes guide given. After 25 minutes the middle was soooo gooey it just wouldn’t have held under the fondant and the figure. After 40 minutes a delicious sturdy crust had enveloped the gloop enough so i could begin decorating. The middle of this cake stayed gooey.......success.
Happy Baking
