BEHIND THE SCENES
The pictures below show some of the process of making and decorating a cake. An average cake will take, aound 4 hours, from mixing the ingredients to putting on the final touches. The end result is a unique cake made with the utmost care and attention to detail.
BATTER
It may surprise you to know that it costs around £8.00 in ingredients to make an average-sized cake!
Here you can see the batter, which is ready to be baked.
BAKED
CAKE
After about an hour, the cake is baked and ready to be decorated, once it has cooled.
CRUMBING
Once the cake is cooled, it is covered in a buttercream layer, which is called crumbing.
After being refrigerated, the cake can be decorated.
DECORATING
Now for the fun part!
I use fondant, which I colour, and use to cover the cake.
Once it is smooth, the decorations can be added.
