livvy's birthday cake!


Ok so im skipping ahead a bit now! its june 2008 and i decided to make my daughters 2nd birthday cake..i wanted something pink and girly but none of the shops seemed to have what i was after so after browsing on ebay (which is something im very good at!) i decided that it shouldnt be too difficult to design her a cake!

now at this point baking still wasnt a strong point and i had decided it would be easier to buy a ready made cake..which i did from asda at about £8 ..i know! more money than a bloody pre-decorated one!! after looking at many many cake decorating shops, sites and blogs i ordered my bits and pieces! unfortunately though one box..the main box didnt arrive in time and i had to just ..'make do' with what i had!!! so anyway i got to work..basically i just covered the cake in pink shimmer dust...made my own cake topper from butterflys pink flowers and glittery things (technical terms i think!) and stuck livs favourite toys on the top..dora and boots! cant go wrong with dora and boots!!

well she loved it, my mum loved it..the other kids wanted me to make them one..but i hated it! it wasnt what i wanted at all!! as u will find out ..i am my biggest critic! anyway ive posted a pic of it for you to see! this was my first taste of the cake decorating life and i wanted more!!! bring on the cakes!
