Shrek Cake

My sister asked me to help her with a Shrek cake she was making. She used a doll tin to bake the cake and covered it with fondant that she had made to look like wood.


I made the roots using wire and wrapped fondant around it, tapped the fondant with a sharp knife to give a wood effect. I stuck a tiny piece of straw into the cake before sticking the wire into the straw, so the wire would not touch the cake.


A lovely cake and we had fun making it together!!

Surf Party How to!!

My sister and I are planning my brother's 30th birthday party. He loves surfing and so we are having a Surf party. We are making the table decor and have had lots of fun making different beach things. I took photos of the star fish making out of fondant and I made Flip-Flops out of foam and pipe cleaners. On some of the Flip-Flops, I twisted two pipe-cleaners together to make a prettier shoe. Simple cold glue stuck the pipe-cleaners to the foam. I also use my cookie cutters to emboss the foam for a more funky shoe.

I will post more cool ideas as we finish them. The cake is going to be a combi, Retro VW with surf boards on top etc. Can't wait to see his face when he sees it!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
