Fit for a princess

My cousin turned 6 last weekend. Instead of cracking my head for a gift.. I offered to bake a cake (naturally). Her request was .... a pink castle, with lots of flowers..

Immediate thought.. should I have just cracked my head for a gift? HAHAHAHA..
Anyway, I must admit I was excited of the challenge. Or maybe it was the little girl in me who got excited.. :)

Three cakes, and 5 hours later... tada!

The pink castle for Megan

M - For Megan, naturally...

Knock Knock.. is there a princess inside there?

Oh there was a lil' duck pond behind the castle too :)
(made with royal icing)

Cake : Buttercake with strawberry swirls .. totally yum!

Frosting : Strawberry jam

Decoration : Fondant, royal icing

p/s : We bought candles from Tesco in the shape of horses (didn't manage to take pics though).. and just before the ceremony, Megan gets to place the horses on the castle.. it was so adorable.

Sugar and Spice and Everything nice

Turning 21 is such a special time, and a WONDERFUL excuse to have an extra special cake. The first 21st birthday cake I made was in May. This time, I received an order from the same family, for ANOTHER 21st birthday cake :)



The cake's for a girl named Susha, who loves the color white. Loves ribbons. Loves cute things. Loves flowers.



When I heard that, I thought "This'll be a snap!"... boy was I wrong... I spent nearly a whole week thinking of how I'll incorporate all those onto a cake. *bites nails*... I hope I managed to... why don't you tell me?

Can I offer you a flower?

The key is being hidden by the bunny

All packed up and ready to go :)
