This Years Cake Creation

[HappyGeorge]

So looks like I finally finished with Birthday stuff and caught up on sleep. Spent whole weekend on my 4yr old daughters birthday half of Saturday making a Grufallo cake and Sunday with 20, 3 and 4 year olds and their parents. All a bit hectic hence not been on here.
So here are some pics of this years cake creation completed with a suprisingly small amount of swearing. I admit to cheating on the ears and using a piece if dowl with ear shapes cut out of margarine tub and then with fondant layed on and iced over the top. There are also photos of the fabulous cup cakes my sister made for us too. I am just about to make a cuppa and have a cookie dough one just as soon as I have posted this.

CHOCOLATE AND CHERRY FLAVOUR

COOKIE DOUGH

LEMON

OREO COOKIE (these had a complete disc from the top of a full size oreo as their base and the icing is oreo cream and crushed oreos )

My sister is thinking about going into business and opening a pudding restaurant as she makes some wicked puddings and desserts.

Nice heavenly.........I see you use the same food dye as me, fab stuff like mixing acrylic.

As for the taste, they are usually woofed down, have hidden away a large chunk for myself, have to ration it, it always gets carved up on the day and everyone leaves with a big lump. The Grufallo hand wasn't great as I baked it Friday night so it would cool for me to work on the hand whilst the other cakes were cooling on the Saturday, but found my scales had broken so had to use american cup measurements, and it just doesn't work for really good sponge. The rest was bottom level vanilla victoria sponge, then vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam, then choc chip sponge and some more jam and cream, then chocolate sponge. The Grufallos coating is chocolate buttercream flavoured with 4 whole bars of Lindt 75% chocolate.

Thanks for the comments guys, if we ever have a get together I will make a reef scene cake.
