Happy Mama's Day

Pecan & Maple Syrup Cake

Happy Mother's Day to all the mum's out there!!

I made a pecan & maple syrup cake for my mum today. Being the disorganised daughter I am I just winged the design although I had other ideas - a basketweave with maple syrup buttercream and lots of handmade roses with butterflies in between was one but I had run out of time.

Tiered Cake

I know! I can't believe it either - my very first tiered cake. Who would have ever thought that I would even get this far. I would used to look at these cakes wondering how these works of art were created and now I know!

This is only the beginning of what will be many more creations - I hope.

I must say that this hobby is expensive!! Along with the golf lessons this is starting to hurt my piggy bank. 

I've been looking at some courses in Australia and the UK but these will be on the 'wishlist' for someday in the future.
