Robot Fruit Cake

This is my unimaginative attempt to decorate a cake... in the more lazy/easy way possible lol.

Most proud of the marbled fondant...

I LOVE COOKIE CUTTERS!!!

C A K E

Simple, yet effective.

Make for Robyn's Potluck.

Playing with my fondant... not very good at it but with the help of a rolling pin and cookie cutter letters... so easy and so much fun...

Hmm... CAKE!!!

Mum's 1kg Butter Cake

1 kg Butter/Margarine
1 kg Sugar (150g less for dad)
14 eggs (med/large)
1 kg Flour with 8 tsp Baking Powder or 1/2 kg Flour + 1/2 kg Self Raising Flour or 1 kg Self Raising Flour
1 cup Milk
2 tbsp Vanilla Esscence

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line the base of cake tin with baking paper and butter the sides generously.

2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar.

3. Add eggs, one at a time and continuously beating, until it is well incorporated and sugar dissolves.

4. Sieve the flour.

5. Fold in flour with a metal spoon or a plastic spatula spoon by spoon alternating little by little with the milk and vanilla. Make sure to fold gently rather than beating or mixing or stirring. Incorporate well, no floury bits.

6. Bake at 350 F for 45min to 1hr.

Horse Brownie/Cake

My Brownie Horse

With a chocolate icing skin, light drizzled chocolate icing mane, a marshmallow eye ball, a black sweet pupil, roll up reins, a hoop lollie clasp, and a black jelly bean nose.

The horse was a prototype for a horse cake for a friends nieces 3rd b'day. I agreed to make a doll cake but then got told she wanted a horse cake. I freaked!!! thinking it would be way too hard but luckily with google, i found the below image and lots of inspiration. Don't ask me why, but in my head, a horse cake had to be 3d and if not, defiantly had to have fondant.. which i suck at dealing with!!!

EASY PEASY!!!

My inspiration for the brownie. The actual cake is going to be a yellow horse with a white mane... still cute... especially for a 3 year old, but me personally, i still like my brownie horses colouring much better.
