Several people asked me if my wife was preparing another of her special cakes for my birthday. The honest answer was that I had no idea - but furtive rustlings in the kitchen and the rapid deployment of tin-foil over the last couple of days whenever I appeared suggested I might be in line for a follow-up to last year's Antarctic special (see here). Well, here it is - a scene reminiscent of that most wonderful of all Cornish beaches, Trebarwith Strand, complete with gulls, rocks, spume, sand and grass:
As with all my wife's cakes, every bit of it is edible - even the water and the foam. It's the first time she's depicted water - and, in real life, the effect is pretty stunning. It's a coffee sponge cake, with a chocolate and a coffee filling. It's delicious, and my diet is now officially shot to pieces.
I'm late..
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday big man.
Cake...swanky cake. I can't even get a Twinkie around here.
I love this. Where did you wife get the seagulls from? I'd like to do something similar for my friend's engagement cake.
ReplyDeleteMy wife made the seagulls out of icing sugar - the only non-edible things on the cake are the wires holding the seagulls aloft. If you'd like to ask her anything directly, her email address is: sara.gronmark@btinternet.com
Deletehi I need to do a cake with water and love the creativeness and the effect that she has given in the cake. How did she do this please?
