Birthday cake

Dear all,

A while ago I made a birthday cake for one of my colleagues at work. She loves shoes (walk in shoe closet anyone?) and even has a shoe calendar at work, so all I could do was make a shoe cake. With marzipan, food colouring and food gloss I made a pink pump! Woo!



Working with marzipan actually turned out to be quite fun. It's easier to get here than sugar paste or something and it absorbs liquid food colouring better (as do my hands mind you!). I went for a chocolate brown and pink theme for the rest of the cake with lots of marzipan flowers to mark the beginning of spring, oh yeah!



And of course the cake itself was a nice surprise for my colleagues! They hadn't seen this signature cake of mine yet.

xoxo Jennifer
