30th Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday Nicole!

My sister, Nicole, recently celebrated her 19th Birthday and requested a chocolate cake with a peace sign. So i packed up my baking goods and some clothes and off i went to Saldanha. She LOVES Astros, so i incorporated them in the cake as well.

Zoe's Chocolate Birthday Cake

Busy Bee...

It's been awhile since I have added any new pics...SORRY! I have been busy this weekend to make up!  And to think...with chocolate of all things..imagine, in this heat! Well, it came out quit well if I do say so myself.

Firstly, I made some chocolate cupcakes with chocolate Icing for Monique who's Nephew will be arriving in SA today for the first time EVER!

I also made some Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream Icing for Tanja's sister-in-laws baby shower.

 

Lastly, just for fun...I made a Chocolate Mousse Cake with Chocolate Ganache and a chocolate collar...

This cake was time consuming as it had to be done in stages...luckily I had the whole weekend to myself to try out the recipe.

What I've been up to...

Since completing my Patisserie and Decorating Courses, I have been keeping myself busy creating delicious treats for friends and family...on request...or just because I felt like spoiling them :)
