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.

Baby card

One of my colleagues had a baby boy at the end of March. The little boy wasn't due until here in May, so they were at the hospital for a while, but now they are at home. Due to the virus my colleague had to stay at the hospital the whole time, so we haven't seen him yet, and don't know when we will see him again, since we are all pretty much still work at home, but I have made a card now for them, so it is ready for when we can give him the baby's gift. This also gave me the oppurtunity to try out a new die set that I got for my birthday – the baby clothes line from Marianne Design. I am really happy with the outcome of this card, it's definitely one I will be making again.

Christening cake for Laura

My boss had a baby girl back in October and March 14th it was time for her christening and he asked me if I would make the cake for them. It has been a long time since I last made one, so I must say I am a bit out of practice but I accepted anyway. The cake was ordered to be for 35 people but due to the Corona virus they ended up being a lot less, so I think the top cake went into the freezer. Here's the cake which I think turned out really pretty:

The cake consisted of 2 layers of yellow cake (drømmekage med et twist) and 1 layer of chocolate cake. The mousses were Bailey's mousse and raspberry mousse and I covered the cakes with SMBC before I put the homemade fondant on. All the decorations are also made in fondant, so it is all edible.
