Once Upon A Time.....
.....I was asked to make a cake. A very special cake, in my opinion. For a very good friend of my dog. |
| My dog, Gnasher. |
This is my dog, Gnasher. If you knew her, you'd know that she is basically ever so slightly bonkers. But in a very good way. Doesn't have a grumpy bone in her body! She makes friends very easily, human & doggie. This particular friend was a human. A small one, called Rosie, who is the daughter of a lovely friend of mine.
Rosie, or rather her Mum, asked me if I would like to make a cake for Rosie's 8th birthday. A cake based on the Disney movie, Tangled. Maybe a Rapunzel's Tower cake? 'Would love to' was my reply (well she & Gnasher are very good friends!!).

| Can you see the board? No, I can't either!! |
So I had a good think, a few mugs of tea, looked at some pretty pictures of cakes...and spoke to some of my lovely cakey mates. My friend Julie gave me an intensive masterclass in making castle cakes ~ Thank you lovely Julie!!
My friend Kellie gave me strict instructions on how I 'must cover the board properly & use a ribbon!!' So I did just that and doesn't it look professional?
The first time I have ever covered a cake board!! I have made a step by step album (you all know how much I love doing these!!) on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.292284777508972.66128.134501389953979&type=3, so I won't bore you with it all again.
Here we go, the finished Rapunzel's Tower cake!!
