In the wedding edition of Cake and Craft, a cake magazine, I found a how-to for making these lovely bows with a gem stone in the middle. For my aunties visit I've made this little cake, filled with fresh strawberries and strawberry mousse.
The gemstone takes a lot of patient to make, but I love the result.

Little one
This little cake belongs to the large Bambi cake. it's made in the same style and colours and is also filled with fresh strawberries and strawberry mousse.
Delivering my first assignment.
My friends youngest son became one this year and she asked me to bake him a cake. The order was quite clear. Bambi, purple and orange and strawberry flavoured.
Still I thought it was quite hard to do this, because I didn't really know what she really likes. I mean, not everyone likes the same things (thank god)
I started with planning a purple cake with orange decoration and a orange cake with purple decoration. Then I've made the Bambi to put on top of the cake. When I'd finished the Bambi, I certainly realised it would be nicer to have the purple mixed with a hint of orange, so it looks like it's marbled. So. I need to change my plan at the very last moment. This is the result of a night hard work.

Motheringsday part 3
I know, Motheringsday was just one day. But baking for mother is a nice thing to do. We should never end loving and respecting mothers.
This cake, I've made for my own mother. Like the cake for my mother in law, it was filled with fresh strawberries, strawberry mousse and forestfruit bavarian. The cupcakes (in the left corner) are also strawberry flavoured.

Motheringsday part 2
My friend went on vacation and bought me a nice book about baking cakes and cookies as a souvenir. The recipes look so nice, that I tried them for motheringsday. On the top are rabbitshaped strawberry cookies. on the bottom are the girlface cookies with chocolateflavour.
The chocolatefudge are from a recipe of Nigella Lawson (and they taste very nice)

Motheringsday part 1
Motheringsday is a nice day to show how we care for mom or mother in law. This cake was made for my mother in law to show we respect her.
It was filled with fresh straweberries, strawberry mousse and forestfruit bavarian. Covered with marzipan and the pink rozes are also made out of marzipan.
Unfortunately my brother in law was to early, so I couldn't finish te cake properly.

I'll make you happy!
My friend, he is staying in China for his work, asked me what would me make happy, so I said, Baking cakes and deliver a good tasting cake makes me happy, seeing every one enjoying the cake, makes me more happy. So, he said to me, I'll make you very happy, and he asked me to make him a cake for his short stay in Holland with his girlfriend.
The result was this cake, or should I say cakes. My sister-in-law asked me once to make her a cake filled with baileyscream. What's a better occassion for a nice grown up cake then a short gathering with all friends. For the non-alcoholics, I've made a small cake and filled it with strawberrymousse and fresh strawberries.
Both cakes are covered with chocolate fondant. and decorated with purple coloured Icing. Unfortunately, it seems like I'm always making to much icing.
