My passion is baking and decorating cakes for close friends and family. This is a compilation of the cakes that I have made and blogged about! With each cake that I have made, I have included instructions and recipes of how I have made each cake – so you can make them at home too!
I am self taught, getting ideas, tutorials and inspiration from Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube and Google. I make cakes for fun (not to sell) and love to inspire others to make cakes themselves as it is so much fun and very rewarding! I am not a fan of fondant so I usually decorate with buttercream, cream cheese frosting, ganache and meringue.
I started making cakes about 3 years ago, with it becoming a lot easier when I got my Thermomix a year ago! Note that my recent cakes have been documented really well (whilst I’ve had my blog) and my older cakes are not as thoroughly documented as I only took a photo of the finished product and used ‘normal’ non-Thermomix recipes.
I like to make my cakes the day before an occasion, but if I know I have a lot of work to do, I make and freeze the cake(s) beforehand – scroll down, and I have included the instructions on how to do this at the bottom of this page 🙂
30 second Vanilla Buttercake with chocolate chips ‘watermelon seeds’ with vanila buttercream icing.
This is a great base for decorating i.e. drip cakes, buttercream, fondant, rainbow/ombre cakes, or into cupcakes.
This is a very basic recipe WITHOUT requiring a Thermomix butterfly. It is easy to pipe, tastes great, sets nicely and is very versatile with colours and flavourings of your choice!
