Birthday Baking

Birthday Baking

So this weekend it was my Sister’s 18th birthday and because I am such a loving sister, I made her a cake to mark the occasion. I don’t know why, but I do love baking a good cake for the odd celebration or occasion because 1. It gives me an excuse to bake, 2. It will always been received with great appreciation & 3. It’s out of love! Baking or Cooking is all about sharing and therefore sharing the love, whether it be amongst family, friends or colleagues, workers and possibly new acquaintances. Sometimes we need that extra push to cook or step foot in the kitchen.. So why not begin with cooking for a special occasion or experimenting with recipes that you can try out on your nearest and dearest (After all, they’ll appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into it.. But whether it tastes good, then you may have to work on that!)



Every time I bake a cake, I very rarely have a specific look that I am aiming for especially when decorating. That’s because wherever we look we can gain inspiration and ideas from, just turn on the TV, flip open a magazine, maybe go for a walk even.. Like decorating this birthday cake, I just knew which fruits I wanted to decorate it with. The chocolate covered strawberries were a last minute touch I decided on, which I was inspired by looking through a supermarket magazine. You never know where creative ideas will hit you, so just keep your eyes peeled and keep a look out.



I will definitely be uploading a cake recipe or something that everyone can have a go at in the up and coming blogs I have planned. But for now, I shall leave you with the process of baking a cake through my trusty camera pictures. J Hope you all enjoy & gain some ideas.
