HANDBAG BISCUIT...

1. Firstly coat the entire biscuit with white ready to roll icing
2. Create the glitter detail to the hand bag by drawing a V from the left and right hand corners of the bag in edible glue. Then sprinkle on your edible glitter or coloured sugar. You can also use hundreds and thousands if you do not have glitter.
3. Using pink coloured ready to roll out icing, cut out a flower shape. Using your ball tool, make the petals look 3D.
4. The centre of the flower is made from a ball of white roll out icing, covered in glue then rolled in the edible glitter.
5. Assemble the flower by gluing the center on to the flower, then glue the flower in place. I chose the top right hand corner, however you can stick it anywhere on the bag.

Red Floral Dress & Shoe

These biscuits are covered in white ready to roll out icing and have been painted using 'Squires Kitchen's Designer Edible Paints'.

For the dress, I painted the top half to the waist red and finished the skirt with a simple flower design. I kept the flowers simple as I wanted to put many flowers onto the dress but still keep the style simple and elegant.

The shoes have a red sole and heel and a 3D red flower, I chose to add more detail to the flower on the shoe as I have only added one flower, rather than many.

Pretty & Pink Biscuits

1. I coated the biscuits in white ready to roll icing. I chose white as I wanted to give them a 'wedding' feeling, however you can use a different colour to suit your chosen event.
2. On the dress, I added a pink trim along the bottom of the dress, sleeves and neckline. I used a fine paintbrush and 'Squire's Kitchen Designer Edible Paints' to do this.
3. I also painted a ribbon along the middle of the dress. I did this by painting a thick line across where the waist would be on the dress and slightly right to the center, I painted two small triangles with the corners meeting to form a simple bow.
4. The design for the handbag is aimed to be simple and elegant. To keep with the pink theme, I used the pink paint to outline the typical features of a clutch bag
5. The shoe is my favourite of the 3 biscuits and is pulls all the main features used on the other two biscuits together. I added a pink trim along the sole of the shoe, on the heel and along the front of the shoe. I also used a small piece of icing to form a 3D bow and painted this pink too to keep with the theme.

CHEESE BURGER CAKE

I was inspired to bake this cake after watching "Ace of Cakes" and they made a hot dog cake. Each element of this cake (Lettuce, cheese, burger, bun, ketchup and olive) were made individually then I assembled them to create the above result.

1. The bun - 2 round vanilla sponge cakes make up the bun, I would strongly advise you use vanilla compared to any other flavour as it keeps the cake mixture a pale brown colour like the bread-cakes you usually eat your burger out of. You can sprinkle sesame seeds on top like the real version, however, due to personal preference, I chose not to.

2. The burger - I made the burger from a circle chocolate sponge cake.

3. The cheese - no good cheeseburger is without a cheese slice! Roll out a square of cheese slightly bigger than your burger so that it can flop over the sides, like a real cheese slice!

4. The Salad - I kept it simple here, by just using circles of green roll out icing as lettuce leaves, but you can let your imagination run wild here and make any salad ingredients you like on your burger! 

5. Assemble - pile up your salad, cheese and burger on top of the bottom bun in preparation for your sauce

6. Ketchup - as if you didn't have enough sweet stuff on this already, it's time to add a good squirt of ketchup... put the bottle away, I don't mean the tomato kind you get from supermarkets. I made my 'ketchup' using red food colouring, icing sugar and water. Don't use too much water and food colouring as you want a thick consistency, but you need it gloopy enough to run down the sides naturally. Add as little or as much ketchup as you like to your burger, and if you can get a little ketchup pot fill that up on the side!

7. The finishing touch -  Top your burger with the last half of the bun. You can  also make a olive from an oval of purple icing, if you like. I used a wooden skewer to hold all the components together, however if you're not having an olive, you don't need to do this.

I hope this step by step guide helps you make your own crazy burger cakes, it doesn't have to stop at burgers though, you can make sandwich cakes like this too, just substitute the burger for a pink circle of icing (ham) and leave out the olive and ketchup.

Enjoy!

How to make - cute bunny bums!

Possibly the most simplest (but effective) bun decorations I've ever done, any one can do this and it is worth giving it ago :)

1. First bake your buns, any size you like will do!

2. Apply a layer of spreadable icing to your buns, it is entirely up to you what you use, however, I personally prefer the flavour given from butter icing

3. Cut out circles out roll out icing in your chosen which will fit your chosen size buns.

4. Make little 'tear-drop' shaped tails from your chosen colour icing. I used white for a more traditional look.

5. Next you need to make the feet - make 2 ovals out of the fur icing per bun. Then, this is where it get's fiddly!, made the paws out of pink icing (or a different colour if that's what colour the fur is!!). I like to make 3 small circles and one large for my paws, however if you're making loads of buns and want to keep it more simple you can make 1 large circle.

6. The Grass! Make butter icing and colour it green, the put it in your piping bag and use either a small circle nozzle or grass nozzle (flat circle with many small holes) to make the grass. I got mine from the 'my cake decorating magazine' however you can get them from all good cake decorating shops and eBay.

7. Ta-dah!! You're bunny bums are done!

I used Renshaw Ready to Roll icing in my buns as I like the vibrant colours they give and the brown roll out icing is also chocolate flavoured, which went down well in our house!

Enjoy!
