Butterfly & Big Truck
January 21, 2010 | 
Author When I was first getting into cake decorating, I was keen to get a lot of practise. So when a friend of mine’s daughter was having a birthday party, I offered my services of making the birthday cake. I was very excited when she accepted. Also, not having any girls myself, it was a great chance to make a “girly” cake. Thanks Donna!

For a little girl’s 3rd birthday, the options were endless. We decided on butterflies and pink. The main cake was milk chocolate mud cake covered with ganache and fondant. I shaped this cake from a square. For decorations around the cake, I made little insects: bees, lady beetles, caterpillars, along with some little flowers and placed all around the cake. The writing was done using purchased gel icing. |

I made some cupcakes for Scarlett also which were white chocolate mud iced with pink strawberry buttercream. I topped them with some hand made butterflies and a few sprinkles. I was pleased with the end result and they are still now one of my favourite cupcakes! |

I was over the moon when Donna asked me to make a cake for her son’s 2nd birthday in December last year. So now for a little boy’s cake. My direction was that Bailey likes big trucks and smarties, so I went with that. Since Scarlett’s cake was a hit we again went with a milk chocolate mud cake covered with ganache and fondant, shaped as a truck – again, I shaped this cake myself from a square cake. I put smarties in the back of the truck and used coloured fondant and letter cutters for the wording and number signs. |
I hope that Scarlett and Bailey both enjoyed their cakes!
