I have this new passion, well not entirely new. I always loved baking and cooking! After watching 'cake boss' I really wanted to try my hand at making such wonderful cakes and cupcakes. So I got the book 'sugar sweet secrets' for my birthday. It's a dutch book with recipes for cakes and cupcakes and decorating ideas. After getting myself some material to work with I tried my best at making a cake.
This is my first cake, it's filled with chocolate fudge an about 20 cm in diameter. I covered it with marzipan because I like the taste more then fondant. The light purple stars are made of fondant.
This is my second cake, it's made after an example in the book 'sugar sweet secrets' I made this cake for Christmas. In my family we have the tradition that we all make one dish for the evening dinner. We had to make the dessert this year, needless to say it was a huge success! I filled the cake with chocolate fudge and covered it with red marzipan. All the grey you see is fondant and covered with sparkling dust. The snowman and tree are made of marzipan.
