It was my Mum's birthday the other day so I decided to make her a cake as a surprise. We went to a nice restaurant for a meal where the waiter very tentatively gave her the cake being careful not to singe his eyebrows off. The fountain I bought to put on it was very impressive! As you can see in the photo, the flame was so high it went out of shot!
The cake was a real labour of love. It took me a couple of hours to bake the cake itself and then all night for the decoration.

Luckily, Mum was out at a party so I didn't have to worry about her walking in.
I started decorating at 7pm and just literally didn't stop till just gone midnight! As you can imagine I was very tired. But as much of a cliche as it sounds, it was worth it. I actually had to point out to Mum that I had made it because she thought that it was a restaurant cake!
An what does the cake itself taste like...well, as my Dad put it, fabulous!
Yay!!!

Gosh well done! What sort of cake was it? I love that duck egg colour.
I know how long all that icing palaver takes - yes literally hours and hours!
It was a chocolate cake. There's a picture of the inside at the bottom. Not very clear though is it.
Yes I was pleased with the colours I got. Mum loves duck egg blue and the colour brown gives a sort of rustic look to it.
Kneading the icing is a good way of keeping warm in this weather too. I was boiling at the end of it.
