Rainbow Speckle Cake & Strawberry Prosecco Traybake
A couple of bright summery baking projects to share with you today!
First up a rainbow speckle cake – celebrating a birthday or just need an easy decorating idea to impress? This Rainbow Speckle effect is easy to do and looks brilliant too.
3 – Chocolate Penguins
I have to admit I love making these little chocolate models, this year I’ve come up with these cutie pie little chocolate penguins, I’m sure you know someone who’d love one of these!
You will need:
Round christmas tree chocolates
Lindt Lindor chocolates
Chocolate ready to roll icing (Renshaws – Amazon) or sugarpaste coloured dark brown
Modelling or flower paste (available in Sainsburys or Tesco)
Gel paste colouring in orange plus another colour for the scarves
Edible ink pen in black (Amazon)
A little pink petal dust (Amazon)
Small cake cards, a square of card covered in foil or a square of baking paper.
2 – Quilted Christmas Cake
If you’re short of time it’s good to have a quick and easy idea up your sleeve for your Christmas cake. This quilted version is more a technique than a design and although I’ve just used almond paste (marzipan) you can do it in just the same way with a Christmas cake covered in both almond paste and ready to roll icing.
Easy Children’s Birthday Cakes
Is making your children’s birthday cakes a full on event?
New research from Stork shows that nearly 50% of parents spend two and a half working days baking their kid’s birthday cake, with one in 10 baking well after midnight!
Crikey me!
Edible Flowers & Flowerpot Cake
I’ve been busy working on some more projects for Stork and I think you might just like this one!
If you’ve loved Chelsea Flower Show and are inspired to get a little green fingered then some edible flowers and a stunner of a flowerpot cake could be just the project you need.
