Dora cake and cupcakes

This cake was covered with home made marshmallow fondant.

I posted the MMF recipe on earlier posts:)

I am learning to get comfortable with MMF. 

I find it more challenging as it is much softer than plastic icing/gumpaste.

All the toppings on cupcacakes ect was also MMF.

This was made for a 3 year old little girl that loves Dora.

Brave Party Prep

I made copies of princess Merida from the movie BRAVE.

My daughters love her curly fluffy hair.

I pasted the pics on the blue/red triangle Banner. It looked good:)

My famous coffee jars...I will give them another soapy wash and fill them

with sweets or something??? Not sure yet... Party Packets for kids??.

Cutting all my pics. Trying to keep it blue and red... 

Framing princess Merida and family. I will place this on the main table.

This was the invites I downloaded off the internet.

I will put the pics up of the Brave party:) in my next post.
At the end of the day...parties are Special, fun, happy moments for kids ,
dads and moms!.

Button Cake

My button cake. 

This was my first time covering a cake with MMF. 

I struggled a bit because the marshmallow fondant was softer than the 

plastic icing I buy at the shop/store.

My crumb coat. Then came a second coat of butter cream icing :)

This was my marshmallow fondant. The MMF recipe is in previous post.

Mix icing sugar with the melted marshmallows.

Knead the MMF and colour if needed with colour food paste. 

The whole cake has been covered with the marshmallow fondant I made.

MMF taste better but using it was not easier for me. I prefer the plastic icing.
I find it is easier to mould and dries quicker.

Making the marshmallow fondant was also more expensive in my country.
Buying the ready made white plastic icing would have been less expensive.

It was a trying time working with MMF. 

I need to pratice more (**;) and then I might feel differently.

Ship cake

This was a ship cake I made for my little girls. 

I used all my left over cake pieces and plastic icing/fondant.

I took all the leftover cake and shaped them into a boat.

I then glued them together using butter cream icing. This was my crumb coat.

Always colour your butter cream icing brown.

I made the holes using toothpicks. 

You can see why it was better to colour your butter cream brown.

All the bits of white showed :(

Using my fingers,I rubbed some brown food gel all over the top

deck of ship.

I will add some windows, flags and an anchor later.

This was very easy to do cause it was a small cake (**;)

My kids wanted to eat it asap!
