Tickle Your Tastebuds!: Designer Cakes for Parties and Competitions

Background of Blog

This blog has been designed to enlighten the world to sweet and savoury cusine. Personally, my favourite ingredient in cooking is citrus fruits, particually lemons, so I will try to inspire your inner chef to share the interesting flavour of lemons in the most indulgent cupcakes, muffins, cakes, slices, cookies and of course savoury dishes. My collection of recipes can be applied to any situation; formal or informal, in any case they are delicious and will interest your guests! Enjoy preparing and sharing the following recipes for what will be a memorable gathering with friends and family for any occassion.

The below images are all cakes that myself, friends or family have made throughout the years for parties or competitions. To make a designer cake the essential parts are to have a clear picture of the design on paper, make the cakes close to the shape and size of the design (it helps if the cake is a little over cooked), use a sharp knife to cut the various parts of the design and have a lot of icing ready to spread over the cake thoroughly and connect the pieces (using toothpicks or skewers also helps to do this), lastly, have a range of edible decorations handy (these should have been planned in the designing of the cake). These pictures should give you some good ideas for cake decorating. Remember, if the design is clear then you can practically make anything with cakes.
