Happy Birthday Mum!!

So yesterday was my mum's birthday.  The cake I made her was a chocolate cake (not the vegan one that I was going to use) filled with orange flavour buttercream and finished with orange flavour buttercream.  I cut out some sugarpaste chocolate flavoured circles which gave it a contemporary look.

The inside....chocolate yummyness!!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all.  I am full of optimism for 2012 having had a not so good 2011.  I resolve to blog more regularly-I was really slack last year-and to have more commitment and determination to push DBC further and further.


It's my mum's birthday in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to make her cake.  I will be making her a vegan chocolate cake-I have used this recipe a few times and everyone vegan or not have loved it.  I will  be decorating it with Vegan buttercream using either Trex/Vitalite/Pure as my butter alternative, have to experiment and see.

Pics will be up when done.  I've also started up my taste testing club again for this year and in a couple of weeks they will have the pleasure of trying fat free fruit loaf and white chocolate and cranberry biscuits.
