Well its time for St Valentines day again and this year I was determined I was going to make my wife Lel, a cake especially for her. A heart shaped triple layered orange flavoured sponge cake with an orange buttercream filling and crumb coat, containing real Orange juice and orange zest.
The cake was then covered in marzipan because my perfect wife loves marzipan and I am quite parshall to it myself.... so I wasn't going to complain if that is what she wants. Once the marzipan was finished and smoothed out i put on the red fondant covering for all love hearts are red!!!
I made tiny roses out of sugarpaste, some of them even had little leaves on them. these are tricky to make to begin with, but after doing a dozen of them I was beginning to get the Knack of it.
Now for the hard part.... A sugarpaste Westie. Why a Westie you ask? because if you look down at the first entry to my blog you will see we have a Westie who is now 7 months old. He is my wife's baby =]. This took a couple of hours of trial, error and alterations to get right but I think I did a good job in the end.... Oh I hope I did because if she doesn't think it looks like a Westie I will get my butt kicked.....
Well now my mini Alfie Westie sugarpaste thingy ma bob is ready, all that's left to do is place a few different sized white sugarpaste hearts over the plain red of the heart cake. Then arrange and stick down the roses and Alfie..... Job Done and I think it looks good.
