The cake recipe was altered from one of The Hummingbird Bakery's...Brooklyn Blackout Cake(chocolate addicts heaven!)
I absolutely LOVE Green & Blacks cocoa! |
Okay to the Brooklyn Blackout recipe I added a couple extra ingredients to taste...ginger powder...gingerbread rum (Marks and Spencers- thank you very much, just found this over Christmas!)
Strong arms required for coloring the icing...:( |
The emblem and label is normally stitched onto the speaker covering of the amp, so a-painting I went...
I painted using concentrated icing gel colors (Wilton's I've found quite good to use, different consistencies gained with water). After I applied the emblem I made small corner coverings and got on with painting the dial symbols from the amp, instead of adding actual dials I thought it would be more effective with the symbols enlarged and surrounding the cake.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLUM:)

DeleteHow good are you! You must have a lot of patience, not to mention willpower not to eat the cake before the job was done..... Well done Miss Fiddletown Cakes and I hope Callum had a great birthday too.
ReplyDeleteThank you:) it took some determination! I think he was surprised I'd done it and loved the tea party mom did....homemade cornbeef and potato pies, Callum's cornbeef mad
DeleteWow! Amazing cake. I've made that recipe too and it was delicious. The picture of the square cake before you started to decorate it made my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteI'm also extremely jealous of your kitchen aid mixer - I'll keep dropping the hints at home (although it really is a waste of time and energy!) x
Aw thank you:) I know I can't get enough of their recipes too much yummy goodness!
DeleteKeep pushing kitchen aids are amazing:)! Xx
