This week my youngest niece celebrated her first birthday.
I’ve
been day dreaming of the possibility of creating a Carousel Cake for the past
year and quickly decided to take the opportunity of this milestone occasion to
give it a go. With no specific theme
request I could challenge myself safe in the knowledge that if it didn’t work
to plan a quick change of direction could easily be arranged and no one need be
any the wiser.
This
cake allowed me to try many new techniques and immerse myself in elaborate
design ideas, a perfect combination if you have the time. The ornate decoration meant the
possibilities were endless and it was great to allow my imagination run wild,
even if this had to be reined in on a few occasions.
A
big challenge of this cake was the construction aspect of the design. It took some time just planning and thinking
through the options but everything worked very well, much to my relief.
This
was a most enjoyable cake project which allowed me to fully indulge my
creativity. The Birthday Girl didn’t
fully grasp the opulence of her cake but her older sister and brother gave it
the thumbs up, saying it was “excellent” before quickly reminding me of their
upcoming birthdays and the cakes they would like.
