Since Thursday I have made *deep breath* one Devils Food Cake, 53 cupcakes, one Coffee and Walnut cake and a Custard Cream cheesecake.
The Devils Food cake was for Anna's birthday, I used a Nigella recipe (Kitchen) and decorated with sugar paste flowers made using cutters that Lucy gave me. I dusted the centre of each flower with some edible red dusting. VERY chocolatey.
These were for the school cake sale. The theme was Space, so Eve suggested using flying saucers. I decorated the vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, sprayed on edible glitter, added some star shaped sprinkles and the flying saucers. We carried them to school in disposable roasting trays.
Coffee and Walnut cake (Nigella - Kitchen) for Sunday teatime with Ian, Frank and Paola. Loads of butter icing, there was a bit of leftover icing which was delicious with the spare walnut halves.
Ian's favourite biscuit is a custard cream, so this is a standard baked cheescake with a custard cream base for him. With raspberries to cut through the full on dairy-sugariness of the whole thing.
