Rory's Monster Party

So Rory decided to go to his Monster Birthday Party as one of the Cybermen from Doctor Who!

 

 

 

 

He was very specific about what he wanted and it was not a 'nice' Monster Party but a 'mean' Monster Party, hence the cake with the fierce face and the cupcakes!

 

 

 

 

My lovely mum made Rory's party bags and I made some Monster Cookies to go with all the other bits and pieces that go into a party bag

 

 

My lovely husband carved a Monster Melon and filled it with fruit and for the first time at one of Rory's party's all of the fruit was eaten!

 

 

Here is a picture of my lovely husband who had his face painted by the lovely Josie Mullen who is a brilliant face painter.

 

More Christmas Cakes and Things!

So this is how my Mini Christmas cakes started.  I had seen Christmas Bauble Cakes on the internet and wanted to do something similar in design on my cakes.  After marzipaning the dome cakes I covered them in white, red and green fondant and then iced them and decorated them with fondant flowers that I had made.  I loved making them and they were very popular as a small gift for loved ones.  People gave them to teachers, friends and included them in food hampers.

 

 

 

The white ones were my favourite!

 

 

 

I also sprayed the cakes with silver food spray to give them a glow!

 

 

 

The red cakes were very popular too!

 

 

 

The stars of the show!

 

 

I also made my first Gingerbread House which was great fun.  I used the Gingerbread House Cutters from www.lakeland.co.uk and they worked really well.  I raffled the Gingerbread House at Fishbourne Schools Christmas Fair and raised £25.00 for the Special Care Baby Unit at St Richards Hospital. 

 

 

 

I loved the design of this Christmas Cake, simple but effective.
