(Party Time!!)To all my fellow Food Bloggers out there, to all that enjoy reading food blogs, to all who have a passion for food, to all people who eat food, come and share some cyberspace cake with me.
(Ma Birthday Cake)Mrs Shanks (aka Shankette, formerly known as 'The W') has been so inspired after successful cake decorating attempts for MiniB's birthday cakes and The Cupcake Gallery's cupcake workshop that she wanted to make my birthday cake this year.
(The weapons of The Food Blogger)She was stumped on a theme for the cake as she's previously only made designs that would suit a 2 year old girl. A light bulb flicked on and what better than to pay homage to one of my most favorite past times ... Food Blogging.
(Food Blogger Frenzy)Not only did she create my weapons of mass food blogging, but she included an 8-course degustation. From the design stage to the finished product it took her roughly 1 week, bearing in mind that she only spent a few hours a day in front of the tv, and had so much fun making them!!
(Meat & 3 Vege)
(Roast Chook with carrots)
(Salmon Nigiri)
(Say Cheese, Pizza)
Course 1-4 [front to back]:(Roast Chicken, Steak & Vege, Pizza, Salmon Nigiri)
Course 5-8 [front to back]:(Lemon Meringue Pie, Birthday cupcake, Gyoza and Spaghetti & Meatballs )
(My 8-course Birthday degustation menu)Many thanks to my better half, Shankette for my awesome birthday cakes. You doubted your creativity...but look what you have created - Wow!!
Till next time ... we eat!!
Shanks.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and well done to Ms Shanks for the brilliant cupcakes. The detail is amazing - did you keep some for posterity?

ReplyDeleteThanks for you comments everyone, I've passed them on to Shankette which I'm sure has encouraged her to create more designs - A win for us all!!
ReplyDeleteHi Simon, Thanks. It was hard but we did eat them all :)
Hi Suze, Thanks glad I could give you shot of cute :D
Hi Karen, Cheers. I ended up squealing for the meat and 3 vege :)
Hi Yaya, the extra fudginess was due to excess fudge added to fill in the flaws :)
Hi HB, You're gonna have so much fun at the workshop!! Are you doing 2D or 3D?
Hi Sara, Thanks. I love the laptop too which was a late addition to set :)
Hi Foodwink, Thanks for stopping by. They were good eye candy but a plus that they tasted good too :)
Hi Lorraine. Thanks. They were so fun to make even though my contribution was just kneaded the colours in. :)
Hi Anna, Thanks. Too bad I can only share the cakes via cyberspace ;)
Hi Helen, Ha ha ha ... You always had a thing for chicken legs!! How funny was your verification :D
Hi Maria, Thanks. We found that the simpler you keep the design for the camera the more detailed it looked :)
Hi Belle, Thanks. Ha ha...Unfortunately none survived for posterity..we'll always have the memories, and the photos :)
Hi Mademoiselle, Thanks. It's amazing what people can do with fondant. No need to taste it when you've got eye candy :)
