Mother's day cake 2

Mother's day cake for my mum. This is my first attempt in making 'bag cake'...it was fun. At first, I thought the carving was going to be disaster but luckily it wasn't. The cake was also a gluten free cake with no butter or any oil. But the cake was not dry instead it was very moisture and soft. Love the texture and taste and of course it is healthy with the goodness of almond and orange. Yumm...

I used 5 inch round almond orange cake ganached in dark chocolate for ganache covered with fondant. Firstly, I rolled the grey fondant into a long sausage then I measure the length for the bag handle. With toothpick, I marked 2 holes on each side of the handle. and let it dry on the plate. I covered the whole cake with fondant then I cut the bag lid and place it on top of the bag. Later, I pushed 2 toothpicks half way into the cake for holding the handle. The buckle was cut out fondant painted in golden lustre.

For details, I marked some pattern on the bag with toothpick. Assembled the handle and finished the join with long thin sausage painted in golden lustre. For final touched, I attached a fondant rose and buckle. My mum loves it and the kids tried to carry the bag...it was so funny.

Mother's day cake

First of all, Happy mother's day to all mums...
Yesterday was the day when mostly every mothers received their special treatment a part from their birthday. On Friday, I received a cup of sweet treats from my son that he bought it from his school stall. When I picked him up on Friday, he ran to me and give me a bear hug and handed me the gift. He said, ' Mummy this is for you and can I please share with you?' I was surprised where did he get the money? I forgot to give him pocket money that morning. He told me that his teacher gave him the money so he could buy gift for me. Luckily, his teacher was very thoughtful. Sam was sad that all of his friends had money to buy gifts but not him. I was so touched and guilty that I was so unsensitive about my son's feeling. But now Sam is happy and to show his appreciation to his teacher, we made his teacher some sushi for lunch and everyone are happy...:-)
