Swinging Sixties

This has been a swinging 60's week with two 60th birthday cakes! The first one was a lovely moist chocolate fudge cake basket- and the "chocolates" on the top are actually cake too!

I actually think this would make a great Mothers Day cake too! I have just started making these little "cake bites", they're a mix of crumbled cake mixed with a flavoured buttercream and dipped in dark chocolate. The cake bites for this cake were mint chocolate flavoured and toffee/fudge flavoured. I shall post more "cake bite" pictures later in the week.
The second cake was for a sixties-themed 60th birthday party in Warrington.
The bottom tier was vanilla sponge with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream, the second tier was chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling and the third tier was, of course, this...


... complete with purple vanilla buttercream filling!
This week, I'm making a replica of Billie-Joe's (from the band, Green Day) electric guitar for a 21st birthday. I can't wait to do this one, it's totally going to rock!
