Absence...

I can't believe my last post was over a month ago!!! what is wrong with me?!
I guess I can catch you up in all my culinary adventures ;)

It seems cake design has become sort of a trend in Portugal... everyone wants a decorated cake to celebrate special occasions. So I've been having quite a few cake orders.

One of my cousins turned 18 this year and in Portugal that is the birthday you go all out and do big celebrations. So I was asked to do her cake:) Of course I went all out and created the best cake ever!!

I put together a few elements I was told she liked... eh voilá!!!

A Mini Cooper with destination Rome!!! It turned out so good! It took me a long time to do this cake, it required a lot of measuring and precision.

For the cake I made a simple orange butter cake with an orange buttercream. On top, I covered the cake with fondant, lots of it! I buy all my fondant already dyed, it works out cheaper and less time consuming.
