Made this Daisy, it was very easy to make. The basket weave was made of sugarpaste. Like the blue and white, very bright contrast.

Heart shaped Cake



My first time attempting to carve a cake into a heart shaped. Get to learn from Lindy Smith herself. It was really interesting even though it didn't look anything like Lindy's -Flora lHeart cake . Well, there is always the first time to everything right?

I don't really like the recipe of this cake. It was Medeira which I find it rather heavy and dense. Also, it has to be baked inside the oven for quite some time. The cake is supposed to be densed as apposed to light, soft and fluffy; this is for the purpose of easy carving.

I will have to tweak the recipe or find another good cake recipe such as sponge cake or anything but madeira for carving in the future.
