Golden Anniversary cake

t
This is a Wedding anniversary cake. It's a golden anniversary so I tried to incorporate some gold. the writing and the number are painted with gold and the roses are dusted with gold dust. Not much visible though. The cake is a fruit cake. It's the traditional to use either fruit cake or almond cake for a wedding here.

Teddy bear twin cakes


Oh I enjoyed so much doing these cakes. I think they're really cute! Wished I could squeeze the teddy bears. These cakes were for twins. I suggested to the mother to make two separate cakes. I know how it feels having to share your birthday cake with your sister.(I'm a twin too) I wanted to make something similar but at the same time different so I decided to play with the colours. All decorations are made from sugarpaste/fondant. One of the cakes is a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and the other is a vanilla cake with white chocolate ganache. I think they were really happy with the cakes since I received one of the nicest messages from the mother thanking me for the nice cakes. I'm really happy when I receive positive feedback :)

Almond bones ( ossa dei morti)



These are almond filled pastries. November is the month of the dead and these are shaped to symbolize dead. Also known in Italian 'Osso di morto'. These are found through the month of November. These consist of pastry filled with a mixture of ground almonds and decorated with some royal icing. I made about 150 so far and still receiving requests for these. Next year these will look much better since I just bought a bone shaped cookie cutter. They'll be all the same size and shape :)

I also made a huge bone (if you can call it like that) for my boyfriend. It still vanished in a few days. :)
