Chocolate Truffle Box Cake

 Well I certainly had fun making all the different truffles for this one.  The cake itself is a citrus white chocolate mudcake covered in ganache.  The decorative side panels are solid chocolate and the entire cake is then piped with ganache around the edges and of course, topped with all the truffles.  Delish!!!

Black Forest Cake

 This has certainly been the most decadent cake I have ever made.  Three layers of cake interspersed with ganache, cream, cherries and kirsch.  The decorations on top are meant to reflect the forest floor with twigs and leaves.  This cake was truly delicious!

Fairy Log Cake

 I loved making this Fairy Log Cake - it was completely different to anything I had done before and I learnt quite a few new techniques.  I'm sure any little girl would love this for her birthday cake.

Chocolate Windmill Cake

This cake has three layers with chocolate
buttercream inbetween each layer.  It was then covered in ganache.  The hardest part of this cake was doing the chocolate collar.  It took me two attempts but I think it turned out ok in the end.

Chocolate Cupcakes

Term 3 of my cake decorating course and I decided that learning about the art of chocolate would be a fun term to do. 
These cupcakes were done in the first class where I learnt how to make the chocolate decorations on the top.  I think they look quite impressive.

I made this cake for the daughter of a very dear friend of mine.  I was pleased with the way it turned out - hope she was too!

 I made this cake for my sister for her birthday.  I was really happy with it - I think it looks very girly and pretty.  It is a carrot cake filled with lemon buttercream and iced and decorated with fondant.
Happy birthday Christine Anne - love you xx
