Christening cake for Frey

One of my colleagues had a son back in March and they asked me if I would make a cake for the party, which was here in August and so I made this cake:

The cake did have the boys full name on it, but since it is a very special name I have removed it on the picture for privacy reasons. It was my first attempt at making an elephant but I think it turned out really cute. I found a vidoe on YouTube and just followed the instructions in it.

The cake consists of 3 layers of vanilla cake (drømmekage), 1 layer of elderflower mousse but this time I had added white chocolate with lemon to it and 1 layer of strawberry and rhubarb mousse. It is coated with buttercream with elderflower juice and covered with homemade fondant. All decorations are also made with homemade fondant and then I used Royal Icing for the border around the cake.

Birthday card

Lately it has been really nice weather here in DK, so I must admit I haven't spend much time at my craft table, when it is this warm I prefer to be outside, and it can be a bit tricky to sit with paper etc. outside, so instead I have being working on my chrochet skills, because that is easy to do outside, but today I will show you this birthday card I made for a friend:

Materials used:

Maja Design - Denim and girls collection

White cardstock

China die (round frame)
