Ashley's 21st

My sister-in-law Ashley turns 21 today, she decided she didin't want a big party so I invited her, her partner Andrew and daughter Skye around for dinner tonight, told her she wasn't allowed to cook or do dishes on her birthday. I wanted to make a special cake for her and as she loves chocolate cake that is what I made, but I spent the last week making chocolate roses to decorate it..


Having two nearly 40 degree days I couldn't make any on those days as the chocolate mixture just got to soft, but I got a few made. A very fiddly job but not to bad. Samantha and Spencer hung around like flies wanting the chololate! They are made from a mixture made up of chocolate and glucose syrup. Here is the end result...Hopefully she likes it!

That is one gorgeous looking cake Pauline - you are so clever! No wonder the children were hanging around, I would have too! Hope your SIL likes it - how could she not? xxxx
