FOR SOPHIE.
What an absolute joy meeting with Anna and Sophie. They came to discuss Sophie's upcoming 10th Birthday.
An Afternoon Tea, after school for Sophie and her friends.
After speaking with Sophie for a few minutes i learnt that she loved all Animals and Birds.
So a Cake with Birds, Butterflies .....and Silver Dragonflies
There shall be a Birthday Cake -
Chocolate Mud with Cherry Ripe dotted throughout with a Cherry Ripe Ganache, filling all six layers.
A Mauve Cake with Purple Flowers and Purple little Birds...as Sophie loves the colour Purple.

PDCC - Thank you petal - I was trying to keep it within a colour range for this particular little girl as Purple is one of her favourite colours.

Maxine, how do you ever find time to come up for air?! Pulling this whole beautiful party together---everything made by your talented hands, Oh my goodness! I love the color scheme carried throughout and Sophie is one very lucky girl. You are not only a terrific cake artist, but a whole party rolled into one. Can you gather that I love this one? You keep topping yourself, showing that growth never stops.
ReplyDeleteJan - Staying up into the wee small hours of the morning helps me complete all that i need to... :)
ReplyDeleteYes, i thought the Purple, Mauve and Mint were such pretty colours together for Sophie - and she was thrilled with what i delivered.
Thank you ever so much for your kind comment.

Maxine you are just fabulous. This is great. Are the cupcakes with the butterfly have a purple ganache or is that fondant. That is neat!
ReplyDeleteHello Never Dessert You - I think you are referring to the little Purple Chocolate Cups that have a little butterfly on top.
ReplyDeleteThat is just straight Purple Chocolate that i poured into the little paper cups - then when set i placed a butterfly on each.
The little cupcakes are in the little clear boxes - that is Mint Green Fondant - with a little purple flower on top.
Thank you for your kind comment.

Hello there Maxine! I was wondering how you get such perfect little tart crusts. Your work is lovely as always.
ReplyDeleteFrostine - lovely to see you petal...
ReplyDeleteRe the little Tarts - after placing them in the mini muffin pan i dampen the edges with a droplet of water to smooth and even the rims out. Then i bake them for about 8 - 10 minutes.
I found that by dampening the edges it does keep them smooth and more rounded.
Hope that helps you - for when you make yours :).
Thankyou again for visiting and commenting....
