It was my grans birthday in February and not just any birthday... her 85th !!! I decided to mark the occasion with a cake. As I have mentioned in a previous post I follow a coeliac's diet so the cake was completely gluten free.
1. All the ingrediants
2. Prepared for measuring & mixing
3. Starting to mix the ingredients together.
4. Cake just out the oven (I used a heart shaped cake tin)
5. Once cooled I cut the cake into 2
6. Smooth on the buttercream & jam filling.
7. Cover the cake lightly with buttercream for under the fondant
8. Use icing sugar to prevent sticking when rolling the fondant.
9. Fondant icing rolled thinly & evenly.
10. Drape the fondant over the entire cake
11. Trim round the edges neatly.
12. Decorate how you fancy!!
13. My finished cake!
I used ready made edible flowers from Tesco - however if you have time you can create your own with fondant and colouring!
I hope you enjoyed this post!
P.s. My Gran loved it & she kept the 85 candles as a little memento! (cute)
