Yes I know I have been very slack with the blog lately (you never know if anyone reads it anyway) but I have been baking just not blogging about it .
Anyway it was my friends daughters birthday and I was asked to make the cake. Its always nice making a cake for a girl as I've got two now adult boys and a grandson. The cake requested was a goldfish. I really did not have the time to make a shaped cake so decided just to make a round cake and decorate it. I made celebration chocolate cake from foodlovers http://www.foodlovers.co.nz/ the cake was fantastic and huge!! then I iced it with blue buttercream icing. I had real trouble with the buttercream icing, it would just not go on an nicely, so I just decided that the fish would just have to be in rough water!!, then I coloured royal icing and cut out a fish shape. It really looked lonely on the cake by its self so I had to colour more icing and decorate round the cake with seaweed, the rest just sort of evolved until I thought it looked right. It was a fun cake to make and I have to do it all again on Friday for my Grandson's 5th Birthday he's requested a lightning McQueen cake......so will see how that one goes.....

That's a fabulous looking cake Jan - I love it. Yes, I always read your blog and enjoy it, but I'm slack when it comes to comments and that applies to all the blogs I read!
