New hobby

Ok, this is my new hobby: baking and decorating cakes. I want to make the cake for Mika’s birthday myself (a Tiger-cake), so I started searching the internet for techniques and examples. Wow, I found a LOT of info and even more great examples… Last Saturday I bought some ingredients at a nearby bakery (icing and decorating fondant) and started experiencing. I didn’t have original food colouring, so I used red beets to get a pink colour. I definitely have to improve a few things, but I think the first result looks promising. It became a birthday present for my neighbour José, who turned 31 today!

I’ll show more pictures when I make new projects.
