D & D's Dora the Explorer - $110

This is a Dora and Diego cake I made for two-year-old twins. The little birthday cake Dora and Diego are sitting around is also made out of cake so is completely edible (also a good place to place the candles). The whole thing looked a bit 'green' so I put a river running across one corner and down the sides. It turned out very effective. Then, of course, there were the stars all around the outside - no Dora-themed cake would be complete without them. The palm trees were the hardest thing about this cake. Trying to get those fronds to stay on top of the trunk - frustrating!

Tea Cake (3) - $30

This is a more traditionally iced cake. The cake itself is a vanilla cake and the icing is strawberry flavoured buttercream. I have tinted the buttercream a delicate pink. A real girly cake. On the top I have sprinkled some pastel 100s and 1000s just to make it special.

Tea Cake (2) - $30

Another little tea cake. This time it is a banana cake which has been iced in my special lemon curd buttercream icing. I have decorated it with large fondant daisies and a fondant bumblebee. Cute!

Tea Cake (1) - $30

I had some little cakes (6") left over when I did a bake last week, so ended up decorating them and sending them off to the local school for morning tea. They went down a treat so I thought I'd post them on my blog so you can see them too. These are perfect for taking along to a morning tea. This one is chocolate with a chocolate buttercream icing and then decorated with fondant flowers.
