Pastry Girl Cakes' First Blog Post!

Even though we have our website up and running and our Facebook fan page to post the latest details, I thought it would be nice to have a space where I could include more information about our pastries.
This latest cake was for an 85th birthday and included all of the birthday girl’s favorite pastimes: knitting, drinking a cup of tea and eating her peppermints. This cake was especially fun because it really represented the recipient and we were able to focus on the small details like painting a delicate china pattern and including her name on the teabag.

The cake was rich chocolate and the filling was dark chocolate ganache and raspberry preserves. The basket, balls of yarn and teacup were all made of cake and the yarn, teabag and saucer were made out of sugar. I made the yarn using Makin's Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder. The gun is really easy to use and comes with 20 discs.

This week we have a few cupcake orders and look forward to sharing the finished product!
