Mice cake
For my daughter’s birthday (her nickname is “the mouse”). White chocolate icing with a little bit of yellow food colouring. To make gruyere hold : index and little fingers ! Homemade marzipan mices (green like the french song !). To…
Homemade almond paste (marzipan)
When you buy it, there’s only 30% of almond powder and doesn’t have a good taste. Though it’s easy and quick to make it. 50 % almond powder + 50 % icing sugar (5.3/7 oz of each).
Poker cake
For my son who likes poker (as all teenagers). Green marzipan for the mat, pink for the poker chips and white for cards.
Skittles cake
We took children to the bowling and went back home for pizzas. One year too late : I had to put the 11th candy onto the bowling ball. The hardest was to cut 10 skittle in the cake. Fortunately there…
Monster cake
Maybe you know the comic “Kid Paddle”. As always, marzipan (green for the body, pink for the tong and white for the teeth and the eye). Some pustule/smarties and you’ve got the monster.
Dragon cake
Again almond paste. The dragon is drawn with melt chocolate (very useful to keep the Vahiné frosting pen when it’s finished : cut the bottom, clean it and use it with your own frosting). For the drawing tuto click HERE.…
Heart shaped cake

Dolphin cake
Nothing difficult but it’s my son’s favorite animal. The cake remained small but the children weren’t many.
Football cake
At this moment I realized that pieces of a soccer ball are not so simple (especially in flat). The finishes are far from being perfect, I had to be in a hurry that day.
Garden cake
The advantage of decorating a cake with almond paste is that children who don’t like the taste can take it off . They like pecking sugar balls or smarties (which help to cut the cake in equal shares).
Balloons cake
I loved the pastel sugar confettis.
Train cake
Almond paste and some smarties.
School cake
The first one of a (very ) long run of decorated cakes with almond paste. In that time I found moldings alphabet and numbers in chocolate (I wish I kept those molds).
