Blessing Cake Table

A few weeks ago I made some cakes for a Blessing.
I was asked to make a variety of cakes to celebrate and here they are.

I made strawberries and cream cupcakes topped with butter icing. The fresh strawberries create a moist texture and running the strawberry jam through the individual cupcakes gives little bursts of flavour.

As they were for two boys the colour theme was bright primary colours.
Their names and photographs decorated the cakes.

This one was a rich chocolate cake filled with chocolate butter icing.

The decoration was kept quite simple but again bright to compliment both the main blessing cake and the cup cakes.

This second cake was a passion cake. If you have never tried passion cake it is similar to a carrot cake only richer and fruitier. Due to the amount of fruit in the mixture it stays moist. It was filled with butter icing.

For both of these cakes they were covered in butter icing underneath the fondant as it compliments the cakes.

The main centrepiece for the table was the blessing cake itself.

A two tier madeira sponge cake with raspberry jam and butter icing, covered with marzipan and fondant icing.

The angel topping the cake was also made of fondant icing.


It was a great celebration the I was lucky enough to attend and it was lovely to be able to make something for everyone to enjoy.
