Cake that!

Phew! What an epic few days we have had! Sophie turned 4 on Saturday and, as seems to be the tradition in our family, she had an excessive number of days celebrating. Mum’s Group party on Thursday, Kindy party on Friday, Ford family party on Saturday and O’Neill family party on Sunday. I worked it out that while she is only 4 years old, she has had about 16 birthday celebrations. As for Elliott, he is only 1 but has had 3 celebrations! Lucky I love making cakes and celebrating with family and friends J

I wanted to take the opportunity to share some pictures with you of some of the cakes I made this year. Elliott’s main cake was a simple vanilla cake surrounded by vanilla and lemon cupcakes topped with white chocolate ganache. Delicious!

Sophie’s feature cake was the rainbow cake with butter icing laced with a splash of lemon juice. On the Saturday, it was a simple looking white round cake, until I cut into it and that’s when the magic started. We only consumed half of this cake on Saturday, so for the Sunday celebrations I turned the cake on its side, re-iced it and fashioned a rainbow garden scene. Perfect for the Garden Fairy party we had on Sunday, with dress ups, face painting and all J (I wont mention that this particular party was made up of only my 2 children and 8 adults in fairy wings and face paint lol).

So, over the period of just a few weeks, the kids birthdays are done and dusted for 2011. We have a lot of family birthdays coming up in the next few months though so stay tuned for more cakes from Kate’s Creations J Yummy!!
