The Story Behind the Cakes

I've shared on here the story behind my cooking adventures, but neglected to tell the story behind the cake decorating adventures.

My Bible study group meets on a weekly basis and we take turns doing snacks. There is often a tad of competition....


... Fancy Flavoured Cupcakes


... Coconut Carrot Raisin Bread



... Fruit Shoe "Cake"

And then one day, Chef de Cuisine decided that she would prepare a special cake for a dear friend. This is a chocolate zucchini cake (probably the best cake one could ever taste in my not so humble opinion!). Having never decorated a cake before, this one was quite the challenge. Yet the candy markings gave way to inspiration to start decorating cakes - an inspiration that has only grown with time!
