My daughter turned 11 in february and wanted a Harry Potter themed birthday. I just loved the idear! There is so much free material/ prints on the internet for s perfect invitation, signs ect!

Harry Potter is loved by everyone and all my daughters classmates came dressed out  and ready for fun!

Harry Potter is made from gumpaste.
Cake: chocolate cake, White chocolate filling. Decorsted with airbrush and handpaint.

The snake is made from carved chocolate cake, covered with fondant and airbrused. The sand is made from sugar. 

DIY: Barbapapa family

 

All you need to make these Barbapapa figurins is:
Coloured fondant
Needle tool
Knife tool
Wires for making flowers
Food coloring pen, black.

I placed a small styrofoam ball on a lollipop stick in the tummy of Barbamama so that the weight was reduced and that i wouldn't have any trouble with the feet being "crushed":) It also gave the figurine great stability.

Windmill cake pops

Hi, I just wanted to share my newest tutorial: How to make these cute windmill cake pops:) Please press on the picture below to see how you make windmills. Let them harden/ dry for about 24 hours before making your cake pops.

1: Melt white chocolate and coat your cake pops. Let it dry in your fridge for 1-3 min. Then apply a little bit of white chocolate on the side of the cake pop, and place your windmill and support it with your finger until it doesn't slide off (10-20 seconds).  And that's all there is to it:)

VOILA:)

Princess Ariel Cake

I made this cake for little Anna who turned 4 years in june. She loves princess Ariel, so there was no doubt in my mind what kind of theme cake i would make for her.
Her parents served the cake in Annas kindergarten, and she was so excited and happy - my own daughter was likewise happy that " my mommy made this cake for Anna".. they are just so cute all kindergarten children.
Ariel is handmade - no moulds used. Her hair was quite heavy, so i had to place som metal wire ("cake-wire") from her neck and down to the clam that she is sitting on. ... i really should learn to make the cake more than one day ahead so it could dry without metal... hmm... :)
The clam is made from chocolate cake, and chocolate frosting. I put the cake in the freezer for about 20 min so that tha surface was hard and easy to carve.
The seaweed is made from 20 G wire and fondant. The rock is made from rice krispies treat:)
All figurines are made from Wilton ready-to-roll Fondant:) It's so easy to work with whed added a bit of gumtex.
Sand: cane sugar:)

Hans Scherfig as a cake:)

Hi, everybody! Hope you all enjoy a nice summer vacation. I just wanted to show you a cake a did a while back. It's a cake that is made upon paintings by Hans Scherfig, who is quite famous here in Denmark for his animal paintings. A lot of danish babies and children have his paintings on their wall.
I chose to decorate the cake using bas-relief technique and hand painting due to the artist painting style. It was a fun project, and the parents were pleased with the result.
The bas-relief technique is perfect for projects like this. The technique builds it's figurines with "chunks" of fondant to make the arms, legs and so on, and then cover the whole figurine with one flat piece of fondant. It makes it so much easier to make this effect compared to making the figurines from one piece of fondant.

The third picture is Hans Scherfigs painting that this cake is based upon.

Spring wedding cake

Wedding cake with 3 different kinds of flowers and flower buds. It gave a really good effect to add flower buds as well - something that many guests noticed.

Bottom tier: Chocolate cake with chocolate-mocha cream and blueberry mousse.
Middle tier: Light vanilla cake and macaroon-marzinpan cake with raspberry-white chocolate mousse.
Top tier: same cake as the middle tier combined with blackberry mousse.

Easter Bunnies

Bunnies: Rice krispie Treat covered with modelling chocolate (look under recipes). Whiskers is cake-wire. Eyes, nose, tongue is fondant.

Basket: I placed the cake in my freezer for about 15 min, before carving. This makes it So much easier!  Covered it with chocolate buttercream and decorated it with royal icing.
