Long busy weekend with our eldest's birthday festivities.....over tomorrow evening. I am zonked.
This cake is a repeat of the number 7 cake I did two years ago, partly due to not much time to create and partly due to her asking for something similar. I used a bundt tin and a loaf tin, easy to shape then.
Differences being the cake inside is chocolate yogurt - my mum's fail safe recipe with 1 egg, yogurt, oil, butter etc. Lovely and moist, and never has turned out bad.
Did much more roses this time, due to lots of leftover marzipan and fondant from Christmas. Light pink is default, options were black or green colour, plus its very easy to create pink.
The roses make it look like a wedding cake, so I was told by one of the eldest's friends, but they are easy to do, I did around 7 a day for 3 days and let them harden in the fridge.
Tons of tutorials online, takes a minute for a rose and a very small ball of fondant, marzipan is a bit stickier.
Dr Oetker wafer daisies.
Overall result no cake left at all today, now to form some concoction from the bits leftover for her actual birthday :)
