Birthday Cake Hunt
My son's second birthday is just around the corner and I have decided to bake him a fun cake for the ocassion. I am a wee bit nervous as this is the first time that I will be attempting to create a 'work of art' from the oven. All my numerous past baking escapades have been routine and nothing overtly complex. I have started poring through my archives of cookbooks and magazines, looking for inspiration. Pictures are vital for me to get inspired, especially in this context. A pretty picture of a child's birthday cake can speak volumes about the ease or complexity of the recipe and decorations involved. It also gives you loads of ideas to adapt and make your own.
I have not found many pictures on the net, so I am thinking of scanning the ones that I do have in print and putting them up on the site alongwith recipes for mums [or dads] who want to indulge in a little birthday cake baking adventure. My son adores 'Noddy', 'Woody' and 'Buzz'. I did come across some 'Buzz Lightyear' cakes in online cake shops that make them on order. They look pretty difficult to make at home, especially for a novice. Have any of you baked fun, shaped, 2-D, 3-D birthday cakes for your kids? Do you have pictures? It will be great if someone can post them. I am sure they will be a great inspiration to many ....
