I made this chocolate fudge pirate ship cake for my son today. Tomorrow we will be celebrating his 1st birthday.
The sea surrounding the ship is banana cake with creamcheese buttercream frosting.To finish the piece i had to have Capt Jack Sparrow on board! Ships Ahoy!
This was my first time using icing fondant...The results are pretty and cute.I hope it tastes as good as buttercream though.
Vanilla cupcakes always look good dressed with pink frosting. I don't know what it is but if you had cupcakes on a plate in all shades of pastels...i'd definitely go for the pink ones first. I love pink.
I am officially a daring baker! I have completed my first baking challenge...Bostini Cream Cake.
This cake is consists of orange chiffon cake sitting on a bed of creamy custard and drizzled with warm chocolate sauce.
I really love custard especially with crumbles etc.. I have never tried it with chocolate sauce before and must say that they go together really well. Thankyou Mary of Alpineberry for finding a simple yet delicious dessert that can be made for a dinner party gathering or just to enjoy on your own!
I'll be making this cake again and perhaps next time be using some tropical fruit for the cake for an asian twist....looking forward to next months challenge!
I love choux buns....these had three different fillings, vanilla icecream, light creme patissier and whipped cream. They were delicious. I dipped each in milk chocolate glaze and served it with dollops of vanilla icecream.
These Brownies were from a recipe I took from an australian woman's magazine. Its been quite some time that I've been able to find a really great brownie recipe. This one just excels. The chocolate part is very chewy,moist and fudgey contrasting well with the extra creamy cheesecake swirls.I added lots of milk chocolate chips at the last moment..think it gave the brownies something special...just love to pick them out one by one....
