Boss cake

Here I did something for a dear friend. She loves gardening and just got promoted. It had to be something where all these things came together.

The cake itself was a simple sponge with lemon flavoring and colored yellow. The icing was colored green and flavored with vanilla essence. Green leaves and strawberries are made of fondant and so are letters. Some piping in dark green is made by icing . 

Egg free biscuits

The food allergies are one of the reason why it is so nice to be able to make your own tasty but safe treats at the same time.

My friend is allergic to egg so these are egg less .

100 g of plain flour

100 g of self raising flour

100 g of butter

50 g of gold caster sugar

1 tea spoon of vanilla essence

pink coloring

chocolate to melt and sweets to decorate

 Prepare the dough it will be fairly stiff one. I colored mine pink.

Fill the piping bag with dough and use large nozzle to pipe lines , circles and s - shapes on baking paper. Preheat the oven at gas mark 4. Bake for 12/15 minutes until golden . Allow cooling before removing biscuit from the baking paper. Once cool dip one end in the melted chocolate and decorate with sweets.

Frozen chocolate and cream cake

My modest Birthday cake. I prefer my cake this way :

Very simple really. Take silicone mold. Melt 50 g of white chocolate and cover inside of the mold. Put into freezer whilst you prepare dark chocolate. 200 g melt and line the mold. Return to freezer. 

300 mls of whipping cream is whipped and sweetened by 1 or 2 tea spoons of sugar. Use small pot of fruit yogurt and you will also need small tin of fruit and sponge fingers.

Layer mold with cream, fingers dipped in fruit juice, cream and yogurt, fingers , cream,...until you get to the top. 

 

Allow 2 hrs in freezer . Peel off silicone mold.

 

Ta daah! This is how i like my cake!

The best about this one is that sponge fingers could be dipped in alcohol - like Baileys and you can use natural yogurt - that will be like frozen Tiramissu.  Or you can use different fruit. Or if you have more time you can pipe white chocolate into more delicate decoration - possibilities are endless!
