Relationship ABC: Plans

A relationship is a constant change of plans.
When you're single you are plenty of dreams. You wish to be socially active,  have plenty of friends, invest in your career, study, travel, etc.
You even dream about finding the prince of your dreams (ladies?). Until you find this guy that changes your life.

Sunday is Cake Day! #3

Happy Sunday Cake Day for everyone! :)

So this time I decided to try something very different from what I'm used to. For that I did a basic sponge cake and turned it light green and gave it some Pistachio flavour (with a bit of Vanilla).

For the icing and filling, I just went for an amazing dark chocolate ganaché. 

Dark chocolate in pieces and hot double cream to a pan, melt it, mix it, let it dry. Yeay!

Two layers and that's it.

For the decoration I did basic buttercream and turned it light eucalyptus for the leaves and aqua colour for the roses and added a few dots to keep it simple but interesting. 

This cake was so amazing! Not that easy to make, had a few issues in the middle, but turned out to be fine. And tasty. Sweet pistachio flavour and the sweet and powerful buttercream flavour cut by the dark chocolate ganaché created a very harmonious effect.

Lovely.

Have a look at the pictures and please don't forget to leave your ideas for my next Sunday is Cake Day!

Style by Portobello

I finally got my Style by Portobello box!!

For those who don't know I recently won a competition by Poppy Loves (sweet Poppy, thanks a lot!) and I won a cute box of vintage items coming straight from famous Portobello Market, in London.

Sunday is Cake Day! #2

Hey there you cake lovers!

So this time I decided to give cupcakes a try. Never did it before.

I wanted something cute in tones of pink and cream, and this came out.

Tried a different flavour in the sponge itself, Almond. A-mazing! Loved it really.

The icing is a basic vanilla buttercream :)

Sunday is Cake Day! #1

Hi cuties!

So following my new inspiration for baking I decided to give it a try.
This is my first ever cake!
I was a bit nervous about it but it turned out to be fine.
For my first experience I decided to go with a normal chocolate cake with basic buttercream.
For decoration I used a blue marzipan rose, coloured (blue) buttercream and some white and milk chocolate for details.
