Jorge's 3rd Jungle Birthday






Apologies for the belated blog post, as it appears once again juggling work and cake decorating is proving to be a challenge, and lets not forget being a domestic goddess.

Here are the final pictures of Jorge's cake, we were going for something a little more rough and rustic, so we steered clear of the traditional fondant cake and opted for something a little more kid friendly, little Jorge was wrapped with the cake, as you can see below, and we had to have a chat to him about not eating the figurines until he blew out the candle. He was absolutely thrilled with his cake.

One great lesson learnt throughout this experience is the importance of ensuring that all the items on the cake are edible, when it comes to kids cakes. The minute those candles were blown out the kids attacked the balloons and the animals....it certainly made me fell special, this was one cake that didn't go to waste. Every last bit was consumed. (yay!)

The cake was inspired by Jorge's invite and mum Tonia let me have full creative control, which always makes the job a little more enjoyable and less pressure when there are no expectations. It was a chocolate mud cake with buttercream icing.
