When I was pregnant of my daughter, I participated the course: pregnancy and moving, some sort of pregnancy gym. Eversince we like to contact and meet each other now and then.
All children just turned 2 the beginning of the year, so when we had contact to arrange a meeting, I thought it would be nice to make the children an extra birthdaycake.
The bottom layer is a petal form cake filled with fresh strawberries, strawberry mousse and frorestfruit mousse. The upper layer, was filled with lemoncurd and lemonmousse. Both are covered with marzepin and the stars are also made out of marzepin. On each star there's a letter from the first name of each child.

It's strawberry season again.
Just a simple forestfruitcheesecake and fresh strawberries on top to celebrate the first warm days this year.
I'm very glad to see there are edible (read not sour) stawberries again.

Facemold from Debbie Brown
On an exhibition, I've bought this facemold. It contains 4 different sizes of faces with you can decorate to make woman-, man- or childrenfaces. It is really simple to use and vary.
This cake was made for the birthday of a friend from ballet. It's filled with strawberry jam and strawberry mousse. On the sides, I've used chocolatesticks for decoration.

Orange and chocolate bomb
It was my dad's birthday, but I had an exam, so I wasn't planning to make a cake. Then, when I was cleaning the kitchen, I found the chocolatefondant would expire in may. So I've made this chocolate cake (yes, the cake was also chocolate) and filled it with orange marmelade and orange bavarian. Then covered it up with chocolatefondant.
For the fondant I've used the impressionmat. I love the way it leaves a nice pattern on the fondant. It seems more clear to me then when I use it on marzepin.
In blue I've put on Happy Birthday around the cake because my brother thinks it looks so plain. My lovely daughter, made the blue flowers.

Mother and Daughter project
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)
