My auntie invited us for lunch on Saturday afternoon, and asked me to bake a cake. So, on Friday morning before going to work, I've baked this little round cake. I was planning to finish the cake after work while Melissa would be sleeping. But when she saw the cake, she thought she needed to help. So this little cake I've baked for my auntie, became a mother and daughter project.

Little duckies
Another person who joined our 30+ club. My friend of the balletgroup, turned 30 on the first of april. The week before his birthday, he saw the birthdaycake I've made for Melissa and claimed he also liked a duckcake.
Because of time shortage, I've just made him some stracciatella cupcakes with a little ducky on top.

Petal bakingform.
On a baking exhibition I've bought this petal bakingform. It looked very nice to me, but I didn't had a clue how I could cover it or decorate it.
Good Friday, my first day off since a long time, we went to a friends house for playing (for the kids) and crafting (for the moms). Because I would have help, I dare to try this new form and it wasn't that hard to cover it at all.
This is the result of a day hard work, well, a half day, I've made a lot of different flowers, but because it looked so nice with just the four roses on top, I've decided not to use the other flowers.
The cakes was filled with blackberryjam and forestfruitbavarian. (yes, I need to finish the stock)

Here comes the bride (and her bridesmaids)
I've always wanted to try to make a barbie/princesscake. On the internet are so many beautiful examples of barbiecakes.
So when another friend turned 30 this year and because she is also getting married this year, it seemed nice to me to make her these cakes.
The bride(cake) is made of chocolatecake and filled with orangemarmelade and orangebavarian. Then it's covered with buttercream and her dress is made of marzepin.
Her bridesmaids are made of normal plane cake. 2 of them are filled with strawberryjam and strawberrymousse, 2 are filled with blackberryjam and forestfruitmousse and the last 2 are filled with lemoncurd and lemonmousse.
My friend asked her bridesmaids to wear babycolors (pasteltints) so I've tried copy this.
(The dolls are real and not edible.)

Apple strudel
My colleague is always joking about how he likes to have a piece of a good old apple pie or apple strudel instead of the marzepin covered cakes we maken nowadays. My friend got a baking book for her birthday and because she don't have an oven, the book came in my possession. Anyways, in this book, there was a recipe for apple strudel, so I thought it's nice to try this.
It was quite easy to make, but it took a lot of time to prepare it.

Babymold
For my birthday I've received a cute babymold to make small babies from marzepin, fondant or clay and what's a better opportunitie to try it then a celebration for a baby?
The baby and blanket are made of marzepin and so are the letters what form the name of the daughter of my friend. It was the first time I've triede to paint marzepin (the hair) with coloring mixed with alcohol.
This cake was filled with blackberryjam and forestfruitmousse.

(Big) Girls love pink!
I've made these cupcakes when I visited my friend for the occasion of her daughters 1st month on earth. My friend and I love pink (and purple), so I've used pink to decorate her cupcakes.
Again I've used stracciatella cakes and lemoncurd to stik the marzepin on the cakes.
