So much to do and so little time

Wow... 2 weeks just zoomed past or has it been 3? I've been attending a sugar paste course and baking in between. Some people are asking about Christmas cakes already and I'm like "Christmas is here??" Sometimes I wished there was 3 of me, firstly so I don't have to explain what needs done, secondly 2 of us can stay home to bake while the other does all the running around and thirdly, we can take turns working sometimes up to 5am!

The weather lately... sigh... so buttercream unfriendly! I should be grateful that I don't work with fondant so much. Our beautiful sugarpaste designs all fell off the cake as soon as we brought them home... horrors.... a dreadful thought if it was really for a customer!

Anyways, enjoy the pics below!

I know, I know... it's long over but I'm so behind with my updates!













































Hope y'all had a scary one!

No prize for guessing right!

I baked all these on the same day. Actually there were 2 more but I feel they're kinda ordinary looking to feature. Anyways, can you guess what these all have in common?
Look at bottom of post for answer.

I basically used only 3 colours... white, green and pink. Except for that little bit of yellow I had leftover.

Is this all?

I swear I cannot get used to the layout of this blog. I apologize if the pictures are haphazard and un-creatively laid out. I have to work from bottom up and it's not unlike driving in reverse!

It felt like I was baking my buns off (pun intended) all week but when I look at the pictures, I say, "Is that all?"
