Writing this, I am feeling super summery! These cakes are the product of an afternoon's baking and I had a really nice time making these. We had just come back from a day out on the boat and at the beach and a cake needed to be made for my brothers birthday. His favourite is plain sponge with buttercream in the middle and on top, so that was what I did! However, I like the chocolate icing so to compromise I doubled the mixtures and then made some extra cupcakes.
As I've said before, the piping part is my absolute favourite! I do like the other parts but it is just so satisfying to do. I went for the classic swirl on the chocolate cupcakes and then on top of the cake I did some little swirl blobs (not their professional name I'm sure!!) of the vanilla buttercream all over the top.
My brother is very boyish and so I didn't want to make his 13th birthday cake too girly and pretty but it did need something just on top and so I grated some Lindt dark chocolate over the top to dust the buttercream and then not to forget, 13 candles on top!
I'd love to hear from more bloggers and get to know more people so leave a comment!
