I haven't gone!

I just realised today that I haven't updated this blog in almost six months! I've still been baking, but not too often to be honest. I had some emergency surgery in December that put me out of action for a few weeks and then not too long after that I found out that I am pregnant. Morning sickness and baking did not mix. I had also found I just wasn't enjoying it like I used to but the cake break has helped. I have one to make this weekend for my cousin's daughter and for the first time in ages I'm actually really looking forward to it. In the meantime though here are my few very minor efforts of the last six months

Hopefully I'll be much better at posting from now on!

Christening Cake

I really enjoyed making this cake, especially as I could do all the little fondant bits and pieces in advance so decorating the cake was the work of minutes (the time spent on making the fondant figures is another matter!). I have switched from tappits to clikstixs for lettering, but I'm still doing something wrong (fondant too thick or too thin?) I end up with some weird indenting on some letters. or maybe they are supposed to look that way?
