It’s been a long while since I’ve posted on my blog for 2 reasons.
Life is just getting busy and my camera has been away for repairs for the past 2 months and I’ve missed it so much. This weekend the husband and I went on a drive to just get out of the house. We ended up driving through Llundadno beach. The weather didn’t help much and it left us with a not so spectacular sunset which we are so accustomed to in Cape Town.
These are my memories of the weekend.
This is just a practise run for my food photography. I love natural light; you don’t have to bounce too much light and you don’t have to make sure that the light is coming from the right direction… etc.
Here is some of my latest creations. These are black fondant roses which I painted silver with luster dust. These are actually test roses as the client would like to have these for a birthday in March. I really struggled with roses, I just could not get them right. But this weekend I decided to get them right. I liked the black but the fondant turned very grey and washed out not very nice at all.
I’m not a huge lover of store bought lemon meringues, but I love home made and I’ve never tried making it. So this weekend with my husbands birthday, this was his request, Lemon Meringue.
And I have to admit they are pretty awesome… I will definitely be making these again. So even though I made a bigger one for us to devour, I made these minies. I have to make these one more to time to get the quantities just right, but I am very happy with my first time.
So keep checking for the recipe.
I am back after a very long absence. If you would like to see what I have been up to visit my facebook page for some updates.
I have seen so many of these on pinterest and wanted to make one as well. It was a bit tricky at first because the icing was too runny and it just sagged when I made the rosettes. So instead of taking 1 hour to make the cake it took about 4 hours.
All in all I am very happy with the result 🙂
This cake was so much fun to make. Searching pinterest for suitable cakes to see what others have made and finally coming up with this design. It took a while to make though, with all the little details but I really love the outcome.
What another cazy busy weekend. So here is the birthday cake for Hannah that turned two last week.
