This cake was make for my son's first birthday! It is a boiled chocolate cake with royal icing.

Nicole's comments: What a great cake Rene and the cake seems almost as big as your son! For all those reading this and who are nervous about decorating a cake, don't be! Colored royal icing is fantastic for creating anything and everything. Think back to what you can do with Play Doh...

Octo-Cake!

by Jodi Puls
(Inverness)

The cake was for my son's 4th birthday party.

I made two chocolate marble sandwich cakes, filled with butter cream, one larger than the other. They were stacked then covered in slightly marbled blue icing.

The top was covered in blue frosting, formed into slight waves, into which I placed dolphins which I had made from icing. I made all of the octonauts, the fishes and the coral reef from icing (although the starfish were just sugar stars, and the balls on the white and pink coral are pink sugar balls!). Everything was assembled, with some use of edible glue.

I used golden caster sugar with just a little yellow food colouring to make the sand which I sprinkled around the coral at the base.

Nicole's comment: What a fabulous cake Jodi. I love all the little characters and your attention to detail. It looks too good to eat!

Michael Jackson Moonwalker Cake

This cake was made for my 7 year old son who is crazy about MJ.

It was a painstaking job cutting all the black and white contrasting pieces but it was all worth it to see his face light up.

Boat Cake

by Amanda
(Gloucester, England)

I made this for my dad for his 55th birthday.

I cheated and bought 3 ready made cake mixes and followed instructions on them, poured into a loaf tin and baked as required on packaging.

Once cake cooled, cut peaks at front to form front of ship, hollowed out section near rear for seat then set to work icing it.

It is important to make sure the icing is same thickness all over. Gently drape over cake to ensure size but before applying, soften some apricot jam and add a little water to make an apricot glaze. Paste this over the entire cake to enable the icing to stick.

Gently ease the icing into the seat area to avoid tearing. Once iced, apply licorice laces around ship about 2/3 way down. Put bread stick in as mast, attach rice paper sheets as sails (these stick easily when moistened along edges). Put Polo's/life saver mints around front and wind different colour laces around them for ropes and an aniseed whirl as a light. Run licorice around inner seat area to outline the space and use a sherbet disc as a cushion. Make a mini sail at rear using again bread stick (mini version) and rice paper as before.

For the waves, take some ready made butter icing and whip it together with blue food colouring and paste in peaks on cake board to make your ship look afloat.
