Fondant cakes - Part 1 ...

Haven't got a chance to update, so here's a quick one. I would like to share a few cakes I have done the past.

This cake was my first try at a fondant cake. A cute gift box, and I love the lavender color.





The second one was a two tier cake and I just made it with flowers and petals.




I got a chance to make the cake for friends' birthday. it was a surprise for her and we celebrated her Birthday at a vacation home. it was an excellent trip and we had a lot of fun. I tried my hand at the orange cake and it came out really good.

Festive season :)

Its time you can feel the holidays in the air. I haven't been able to update anything since I spent too much time cooking the delicacies for Diwali. Apart from the traditional Indian sweets and snacks, I did a cake for Diwali as well. In the wee hours of the night after the Poojan, this is what I came up with.





It was an eggless chocolate cake, with white buttercream icing and strawberry preserve filling. This icing was liked better than the older ones I have done, because it was all butter. It was a little tough to manage but I knew that once done it would stay put since it was getting colder outside :)
The decorations are all edible and made of fondant !
I hope you all had a wonderful time with friends and family, and so did I !
Looking forward to more festivities and the holidays! I'll be trying to post more often!

Let's Begin...

Hi everyone,

I am starting a blog here to discuss the most delicious dessert - Cake!
Cakes for an occasion, and cakes for no reason. Cakes to brighten up someone's day and cakes to indulge once in a while. Cakes for everyone - eggless cakes, vegan cakes and more!

I also decorate cakes and have been doing that for a few years. I will add my work so far and will keep adding more as I go...

And not to forget, I will keep adding the cakes I make, the "tips and tricks" and all that I have to share !
