My latest cake was this one which I made for my friend Jill's birthday. Jill is a massive Melbourne fan just like myself - and so is her whole family. So when I was invited to her family's dinner to celebrate her birthday at the local delicious Greek restaurant, Mezethes - I could not resist baking this cake!
The funny story behind it was that Luke, bless his heart dropped the figurine and broke its right arm, its right foot and its right HORN. I swear, everytime I use store bought figurines, someone will inevitably break it. First it was Jody breaking Nicole's Marily Monroe figurine for her Hen's night cake, then an unknown James Squire staff breaking a bit of James Bond's head and now this. Seriously.
Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. But I think I held it together alright - what do you think Luke?
I am particularly impressed with this cake because I started making it at 5pm and was done by 9.30pm. Yes, from making the cake from scratch, to the buttercream to the fondant to the decoration. So I was quite happy with that. It's not often that that happens. And furthermore, I also ate dinner and watched a spot of How I Met Your Mother in between.
And for the record, I made yet another chocolate cake because I noted that Jill liked chocolate cake - and EVEN THOUGH I didn't like making it (only because I didn't want everyone to think I'm a one trick pony) I did.
I should also say that Luke made amends by buying another figurine, so I put the second Demon where the three red candles are and moved the red candles to the bottom of the cake. I was quite happy with the end result. I can't believe I haven't got a photo of it though. I know that Jill's mom took a photo, so I might see whether I can get it off her and add it at a later stage.
Well done!
