I tried to write a blog last year when I first started Claire's Cakes and I am sad to say I didn't commit to it (naughty me), but I feel that I have had so much inspiration, for my work and mostly for my spirit, that I needed to give it a proper go.
So here it goes, 26th February 2010, first post day!!!
I have started by posting a recent picture of the cake I made for my daughter, Faye's 9th birthday. It was a vanilla sponge left plain (my daughter doesn't like anything else!). The inspiration she gave me this year was from the drink bottle she takes to school!!! I know that sounds weird but she loves the colour of it and it has lots of flowers on it and lovely big butterflies.
I decided to make the butterflies into cookie lollipops that she could give to her friends as favours at her birthday party. I think they worked well, although there turned out to be quite a lot of cake left over, as Faye only had 4 friends over for a trip to the cinema and lunch afterwards. So we ate cake for dessert
for about 4 days!And finally just a quick pic of the cut cake. I would have preferred it with some buttercream and jam sandwiched in there but she wouldn't let me. Oh well, it was still yummy.
Speak to you tomorrow,
Claire x
