I really love making cakes (as if you had not already guessed!), but I have not made many themed celebration cakes. It is not because I do not have the ideas , I have plenty, it is just that I am no good with using fondant icing having not had any training or much practice, which is why I shy away from making elaborate character cakes. Therefore, when offering to make a special cake for someone’s birthday, I attempt my own style and prefer to use lots of frosting and sweets – afterall sweets can cover up many cake making mishaps!
Last month, a friend of Burton’s celebrated her 4th birthday and wanted a princess castle cake and wanting more practice at making celebration cakes I asked her Mum if I could make it for her because she was going to get a professional to make her one. Now, don’t get me wrong I am NO cake making professional but I am cheaper and full of enthusiasm so I won the ‘gig’ lol. I have a copy of Birthday Cakes for kids by Anne Rigg which shows step by step instructions of how to make a castle cake , which I used as a guide. I used my own sponge recipe and made pink coloured sponges- perfect for any budding princess! The cake was constructed and covered in a white chocolate cream cheese frosting and then heavily laden with pretty chocolate sweets and I made turrets from ice cones covered in pink chcocolate, and for a finishing touch I added a princess crown for the birthday girl to remove and wear as she feasted on her cake.Read More
