28 August 2013

Last week of August, surely not!

Heavens to Betsy, is it really the 28th already?
So much has been going on.....
 
........harvest of course, A Level exam results and
an 18th Birthday!!!

 
a bit like August, the last 18 years have flown by....
.....in less than a month my son will be off to Loughborough University.
 
So I thought this years cake should mark the double celebration
and of course Ben's favourite sport.....hockey!
 

 
I don't know about you guys but my piping skills are to say the least, erm, limited, so I treated myself to some Tappits cutters.
 
They are a tad tricky to use, yes the letters do get stuck sometimes but the knack is to roll your icing out very thin..............and use gum paste NOT fondant.
 
A big thank you must go to some lovely ladies on You Tube who posted how to use these cutters....thank you girls!
 
 
Well I had best be off, lots to do
Hugs

CAS cake decorating... OK, maybe not simple. Looks like perfection in this case as well! Congrats to Ben!
