Sharky Birthday Cake

This birthday cake is for a friend at work who has a thing for sharks! I used white and blue butter icing to create a marble, ocean effect. The fish and reeds around the edge are cut out using cutters. Its a good idea to dust them with corn flour each time you cut, so the royal icing falls out. The shark fins are cut using a home made stencil. I've also dusted the fish with edible glitter so they glimmer as if under water. 

Rose Water Cake

This three tiered rose water cake was a great fun to make! Rose water butter icing separates each layer. I then coloured the remaining butter cream with three different colours. 

Using the 1M piping nozzle, you can create these beautiful roses, start in the middle and pipe around in a circle. I brought disspsable piping bags from Amazon, they work out more expensive, but  I think its worth it, I find you can never wash a piping bag enough that it doesn't smell!
