Movember Cupcakes

Yes it's only a month until our men put away their shaving gear and cultivate fabulous Mo's to raise money for prostate cancer research and men's depression initiatives.......yes it's Movember.
Don't forget to support your Mo Bro's in this fantastic cause.  My husband is growing a Mo for the sixth year in a row and I have to say the end result doesn't look that bad.  I made some simple chocolate Movember cupcakes with fondant icing Mo's for my husbands birthday......I had a Mo cookie cutter that my husband obtained from Movember in 2011.....I finally got to use it.

1st Communion Cake v2

I racked my brain trying to decide what I was going to do for my sons first communion cake.  I wanted it to be something really special.  After making a communion cake for my friend (see my earlier post in November 2011), I wanted to do something in 3D.  So I came up with a simple design comprising of a fondant covered mud cake, with the three main communion symbols....... the bread, the wine (ie, grapes) and the communion wafers.  The bread is just a large piece of fondant icing coloured and shaped to look like a loaf of bread.  The grapes are small fondant balls.  The chalice is actually a ceramic egg cup that is covered with fondant icing and painted with gold edible paint.  The communion wafers are fondant icing cut with a small cutter and imprinted with a cross. I was really really happy with how it turned out.

70th Birthday Cake

A special request from a work colleague who I have know for a long time.  A simple chocolate mud cake covered in fondant icing, and decorated with small fondant icing flowers / decorations.  She loved it.

Rammstein Cake

I had a request from a heavy metal fan to make a cake linked to his favourite band Rammstein!  A simple chocolate mud cake covered in fondant icing.  The Rammstein band logo is on the top and the flames / skull  wrapped around the side are inspired by their live concerts.  Simple.....but it was a real "head banging" hit!
