Wow! I thought work might be winding down on the run up to Christmas but it seems to have gotten much busier.
My mind is turning to thoughts of baking for all the family events we are attending this year. I am going to make some fantastic home made shortbread mince pies. I'll share the recipe and the result here.
But, for this week, I thought I might share some baking I did for my my in laws wedding anniversary a few months ago.
We went out for a lovely dinner at Lachlans Old Government House (also a wedding menu tasting whilst we were there - I can't wait to get married because the food there is yummy!).
Here's Di and Neil on their wedding anniversary.
I decided to make a unique cake for them so I personalised it by creating their heads from fondant icing (I have a great recipe for vegetarian fondant icing - again, will share in another post).
Ha, Ha! What do you think? A good likeness?
You could try making your kids and your kids friends for their birthday cakes. It's really fun.
There's n need to make separate batches of icing in different colours.
I just made a big batch of white fondant icing then pulled off bits the size I needed, rolled them into balls, dipped the balls in food colouring and worked them with my fingers until the colour blended well.
Then I rolled the icing and used cookie cutters to cut the hearts and a small knife to cut out the face and hair shapes.
I finished it off some edible balls as eyes and earring then wrapped a bow around it.
It made a great dessert when we got back from dinner.
Is it wrong to eat your in laws??
