Not sure what exactly to call this cake – I’m thinking its animal print icing but is it a zebra or a tiger? I had completely free reign on this cake – I suggested red and black as Vicky’s sister tells me that she isn’t very girly so pink wouldn’t do.
We decided on a star explosion but the rest was a surprise. I really wanted to do a funky board so was really pleased how it turned out – obviously it had the obligatory bling with the black stripes being sparkly.
I had a really good catch up with Gina, Vicky’s sister who used to look after Vi at nursery – Good job she is used to kids – mine were WILD that morning!
Last week’s Cake of the Week had a fabulous response – There was a real cutie from Real Suburban Mummy eating her chocolate cake and an entry from Mary Oxendine introducing us to her recipe blog.
There was an amazing Twix cake from Jackie Marum which bowled me over -I hope Jackie doesn’t mind me putting a link to her photo up.
So what have you been up to this week – I’ve currently got a loaf proving in the oven as I’m joining up with the Baking with Julia crew – I used to join in with their first book, Tuesdays with Dorie so am really excited about what I can learn as I bake through the next book.
I love this one, the lines are so clean n crisp , the little bit of a swirl in the animal print just gives it that real eye catching extra, absloutely gorgeous 🙂
No problem at all posting the link to my twix cake , think I’ll enter each week if thats ok 😀
