Christmas cakes

Two Christmas cakes, one for my Mum (gluten free) decorated by Eve and another for everyone else. Usual boozy soaked fruit, heavy on the cherries and pecans. Royal icing with a touch of glycerine to save on the dental bills. I love my playmobil Father Christmas! 

Halloween cupcakes

This was a bit of a rush job, but Eve and I got 24 cupcakes baked and decorated while Leo was out at cubs. Blob of runny icing then star punches of fondant and a sprinkle of edible glitter. 

Lego brick

This was for Leo's 8th birthday. He requested two LEGO blocks, which was surprisingly straightforward to create. I used my favourite cake recipe- Nigella's Buttermilk Birthday Cake (Domestic Goddess). The  'nobbles' on the top of the bricks were cut out of cake off cuts. 

I also made a stripy jelly for the party with submerged LEGO men and a crocodile.
