My mum wanted to throw a summer pool party, she loves any excuse to throw a little soirée…I’m definitely my mother’s daughter because I have the same problem. Hahahaha
My sister is a master organizer so she kicked into organizer mode when mum announced that a soirée would be had with her clan and her sister’s clan who were visiting for the holidays…I was tasked with sorting decor on the day, the P&C and bringing the cake (plus some other peripherals…just imagine I had a HUMUNGOUS list because this doesn’t sound like much!)…the cake itself needed to be dual purpose aka bipolar…to fit the theme and to make my nephew happy. So it needed to be one side Nautical and the other side Spider-Man. I suck at doing character cakes, actually I suck at fancy shmancy cakes. I love it simple but cute ❤️ this is my kinda cake!
I am obsessed with simple buttercream….I love love love it! Always have! I am no amazing cake baker but I can bake a cake and this simple buttercream with dripped chocolate ganache type of cakes have become my absolute favourite thing to do, and eat! I’m an addict……unashamedly so.
I made a 4-layered chocolate cake covered in simple buttercream and drizzled with coloured white-choc ganache, topped with candied corn and an anchor…of course Spidey cake pops appeared on the other side.
But without babbling too much here’s the pictures…inspired by Mumtaz Desai’s nautical themed dinner party.
