This is a double chocolate sponge cake with chocolate buttercream icing that I made for my niece and her friends joint 13th birthday party. The cake was 8 inches wide and about 5inches high with edible glitter polka dot decorations. I piped 'Daisy - Mae' and 'Megan' on top then added gold glitter. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the inside.
I made this cake for my friend Rosannas birthday. I had picked some elderflowers the day before and made some cordial, so I thought I would make a cake based on this. I used left over elderflowers to decorate the cake. It probably wilted by the time it was opended!
Above is the final package of cake and below the cordial.
I have had am amazing Bundt tin for a while now and I've been waiting for a reason to use it. This volcano birthday cake for my friend Claire was my excuse. I have had a lot of delicious beetroot from the Fern Verrow the Biodynamic veg stall I work on and Claire loves chocolate so I mashed a couple of recipes together to create this... it's low fat and very good for you, with only a couple of ounces of fat in. It's just a shame I can't spell.
I apologise profusely for my silence over the past few months. I have racked up quite a few things to post. However I am currently taking a sabbatical involving a broken wrist (see picture). This has resulted in a ridiculously large cast and the inability to bake, write and wash my face properly. The pot comes off on the 10th May, so hopefully my limp wrist will start to recover quickly after then! x
