HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Tomorrow marks the Birthday of a wonderful Drunk Writer, My boyfriend who can be found on drunkwriter.blogspot.com 


So, in order to mark his birthday I decided to make another TARDIS cake. I'm really keen to improve on last years and to get it better. So this is the one I make for his birthday: 

That is this years cake. Last years birthday cake can be found here: http://creativeprogress.blogspot.com/2011/12/tardis-cake.html


So, it's definitely safe to say that we are WHO fans... 


Now I'm not sure which one is better. Can you help? 


This years is obviously the right colour. It took me ages to get the right colour using sugar flair colouring paste and my hands are still blue from mixing it (no, really they are). It's a chocolate cake, which I was quite nervous about because I've never really made chocolate cakes... His request! But I tried the butter cream and that had some serious yummy goodness right there! 


Let me know if you want to know how to make it! 

TARDIS Cake

First of all welcome to my blog. This is a blog dedicated to all creative things that might occur when I've got bored of doing my assignments or when I'm just being creative. I hope you enjoy. 




I've always enjoyed Baking. However, I've always made the cake and just got done with it. However it was my lovely boyfriend's birthday in January and I decided that I had to make him a cake that he wouldn't forget about, ever. And so he got his first ever TARDIS cake. Now it's very safe to say that he is a little bit of a Doctor Who fan. 
Scrap that, he adores Doctor Who, and so he should it's a wonderful show. 

Ok so It's not the most beautiful cake in the world, but it was as I've previously mentioned it was my first attempt. And I did make the fondant Icing by hand, it is ridiculously difficult to get the right colour for a TARDIS. Whatever they said 'Blue Food Colouring' doesn't make it as blue as you'd like it to be. I don't know about you but I have never seen a pale blue TARDIS. 
I piped the detail which wasn't easy, first attempt at any type of piping!


Looking back on this it does look as though a 4 year old made it... But that's fine, seeing his face when I presented it to him was priceless :). But next year I think I'm going to attempt to make it differently and use sugar-paste. Or I might attempt a different type of cake, look forward to that update in January.


Whenever I'm making sponge cakes, traditional Victoria Sponge cakes that I'm turning into a birthday cake I always use Mary Berry's cake recipe: http://bbc.in/9ar9pi 


Over and Out!
