Cake Post // Leopard Print

I think it's time I got back to posting on this blog. I have so many cakey pictures saved on my computer and they just don't suit my other blog!

So I'll start with these ones, of a leopard print birthday cake I made for a friend. It is a chocolate mud cake, with a chocolate ganache, then it's iced with fondant. The 30 is made from fondant sprinkled with non-toxic glitter. She loved it! I'm pretty happy with it. I managed to ice the whole thing in 3 hours which I thought was a good effort!

I'm sure some of you will get a surprise seeing a new post from Sequin Corner pop up! I have regularly been getting comments on my old posts though, so I thought it was time for a new one. 


Come & check out my facebook page if you like - I've been posting lots of cupcake pictures lately!

 

Fondant People // Gardener Pop

Here are some pics of the cake topper I made for my Grandads birthday cake a couple of weeks ago. He loved it! I was so happy with it. Making a standing fondant person is hard work, but it's so rewarding when its finished (and it hasn't fallen over!) He is made from coloured fondant with a hardner added, and toothpicks in him to help him stand up. The 'dirt' is made from dried, finally chopped fondant and there is a toothpick down the centre of his spade to help it stand up.

Hopefully I'll have a couple more to do in the next couple of weeks, I love making fondant people! 

50th Birthday Cake

Hello again!! It has been awhile. I finally have working internet again, so I can post these photos of a cake I made 2 weeks ago!

A friend of my sister wanted to order a cake for her Mothers 50th birthday party. She decided on a chocolate cake with buttercream icing, "Happy 50th Birthday Lynley"and some pink on it somewhere. I decided to make a white Swiss meringue buttercream, similar to what we used at the French Bakery where I worked for the gateau's. I wanted to keep it grown up, so used soft pink roses to add some colour, as well as lettering cut out with my stencil cutters.

I got some great feedback about the cake so I'm glad it was a hit!!
