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.

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.

Our New Years Eve dessert

Happy New Year.


For our dessert this year I decided that I wanted to try to glaze something, since I haven't tried that before, but I got very inspired to do so, but watching the Danish Christmas version of the Great Bake Off. So here it is our fancy dessert:

It was actually not so hard as I had imagined, only mistake I did, was not following the recipe, at least I figured out what to do to get it to work. Here is how the cake look inside:

The cake consisted of "kransekage" bottom, blackberry lchf fatbombs, lemon fromage and blackberry mousse and glaze.



Christmas baking

It is time to start baking the Christmas cookies so here is William working on making the dough for "pebernødder".

Besides "pebernødder" we are going to make "brunkager" and "vaniljekranse" and when we get a little closer to Christmas we are gonna make the sweets we usually have. They have to be made last, because once they are made, they have a tendency to disappear very fast ;-).
