This cake was created to celebrate the christening of a sweet little boy, Panayioti. The cake has a hand made gumpaste teddy atop the top tier and fondant stars. Stripes feature on the bottom tier and his name is made from fondant blocks – placed on the board.
Two tiers of chocolate fudge cake, filled with dark chocoalte ganache and covered with rolled fondant.
I was so caught up in getting my daughter’s 1st birthday celebration ready that I literally left decorating her cake until the last minute. Yes well, how the heck did that happen??
So I found myself at 11.30pm whipping this little number up – all I knew was that I was going to do something in a chocolate and pink colour scheme so I started to knead fondant and before I knew it – voila! Julia’s 1st Birthday cake was done.
I guess sometimes it pays not to over think a cake design.. maybe I was just lucky with this one!!
