More cakes from 2010

Here's the pictures of the other cakes I made this year.  Hopefully you can see my skills getting better as the year progressed, finishing in the two I posted last time (both made in December!).


Mum's Birthday Cake
Wasn't happy with the colours on this one. I was using shop bought food colouring.  Completely feeble compared to proper colouring pastes!


Dad's Birthday Cake
Looks a bit chaotic but everyone liked it, and it was the tastiest one I'd made all year apparantly! One thing I learnt through working (simply!) with chocolate is that white chocolate melts VERY quickly, especially in a warm kitchen!! lol


Brother's Birthday Cake
This was the first one I was really happy with. I'd bought not only the colour pastes by this point, but also some pre-coloured sugar paste too.  Cheating slightly, but for the strong black colour it was worth it. I would never have been able to colour it that dark myself!

Anyway, hope you like!!
