It's meant to be a lotus bloom. I was reasonably happy with it as my first attempt. The next one will be better.

A few more from the weekend
This cake has had an overwhelming response on my fb page. I already have another order for one and I only posted the pic on saturday! These ones are a bit dodgy. My hands had the shakes. The customer was still happy thought, so that's the main thing. eta: The lollipops are made out of fondant. That was something new that I haven't tried before. I was fairly happy with the result. The bow is also fondant.

Yes, they were meant to spiderweb looking. Haha. They were for a boy to take to school for his 6th birthday today. . The cupcakes themselves are red velvet with some of the mix dyed black and swirled through. They looked pretty good, and the taste was good too. I will find out tonight how they went.

Is the business side of things coming along too? Being a baker and owning a business are two different jobs. You are doing great at the baking. Are you paying yourself enough?

Getting there glatt. I do allow for my time when quoting jobs, but most of that still goes back into the business to buy more tools. The right tools mean i can do jobs more quickly, which means i can be more competitive.
It's a cut throat cupcake world out there.

How did you make the black fondant? I've heard that's a very hard color to pull off.
