A white choc mud triple covered in ganache with a chocolate bow. I had loads of dramas getting a smooth covering. It was only later I realised I had poured it close to an open window and in these artic Melbourne nights, one side was hardening up too fast!! DOH DOH DOH. In the end it looked ok, but next time I will remember. CLOSE THE BLOODY WINDOW!!
I have decided that chocolate is my favorite medium to decorate. It's so much fun and the possibilites are endless. I just need to practise MUCH MORE!!
The other cake was a choc mud cake, filled with strawberry buttercream and decorated with two chocolate horse for a joint birthday party. Lots of fun, it was a girly cake so I got to use my edible glitter for a bit of extra pizzazz!!
I am doing some workshops at Greensborough Cake Decorating centre. At the moment, i am in the middle of Royal Icing. Very fiddly and time consuming and quite frankly a pain in the arse but the end results are really worth it. I actually have homework for next weeks class which should be fun. Heather is a great teacher, very passionate about royal icing and to be prefectly honest, I have NO idea what the hell brush work is. I only just worked out what lace work and extension work is... sorta. I was too emabressed to ask because everyone else just nodded seriously. Okkkkkk so I'm dumb! I'll admit it. I HAVE NO FREAKIN CLUE about Royal Icing but I'll learn!!
Happy caking to all.
