Miffy's 21st Birthday Cake
Tiny photo I know, Mum used some new-fangled photo sender/editor…
Vanilla bean pound cake with a white chocolate and fresh raspberry buttercream, marbled chocolate collar and hand-made fondant daisys and dark chocolate discs.
Edible image of the birthday girl on a fondant plaque on top.
Same cake in the cupcake with white, milk and dark chocolate frosting. Various hand-made decorations (including the edible images-great product, printed on thin, thin fondant)
Retro theme cupcake wrappers from a brilliant place I found on ebay.
Yay, Miffy loved it, everyone loved it! A success!
Hello,
love the blog! I’m an Aussie living in the UK! I wanted to ask which non dairy spread you could recommend over here for buttercream frosting? I used Pure sunflower and it split when I added the colour….most annoying! Check out our blog http://www.bunted.wordpress.com as well! Good luck with uni.

Hi Sarah in the UK! Many thanks for your kind words. I don’t actually know any of the UK non-dairy spreads but I am wondering about the split mixture – would the addition of more icing sugar rescue it do you think? The only other suggestion I have is to try using a gel or paste colouring from the cake decorating shop; they are much stronger so don’t use much at first, add it slowly. They are also a lot more stable to use compared to the supermarket liquid food colourings.
Just a few more weeks and the dissertation is done, done, done!
Thanks for the uni wishes
I will look at your blog- cheers for that.
All the best
I love the cake… It looks so delicious. I’m pretty sure it made Miffy’s 21st birthday more wonderful.
Thank you sweet mandy
I just wish the photos were better. Still hoping someone from the party sends me some good ones 
Looks yummy! Found your blog when I was looking how to cook silverside! It’s cooking along nicely on the stove now.
Thank you! Hope the silversie was yum! Let me know if you had any problems
that’ll be yummy silverside, not silversie…
