For my birthday i baked ice-cake with chocolate chips, and a chocolate cake. I also had a few attempts on cheese cake, but adjusting my recipes to swedish products proved a challenge. Most norwegian cheese cakes use jello, but we cant buy that here. So had to try and make jello. Was hard finding the right amount of this and that, so it failed. twice. But i'll try again later on.
The other two cakes turned out great tho =) Im very pleased.
I'll put in a pic of the icecake some other day. ^^
For my cake "obsession" i have started to buy a bit of equipment. If you're gonna do something without getting totally annoyed and frustrated you need at least some equipment to make things easier.
I've bought:
* cake mold
* mini cake mold - for practice purposes.This way i can practice baking without getting huge amounts of cake that we wont be able to eat before it goes bad
* decorating bag (tho i do want a more pro set)
* decoration pen
* stencil
* scraper
* steel wire (for decorations)
* flour sifter
* Icing colors
...and probably more.
I've also researched a bit, and found a few recipes, a few tutorials and styles i would like to try. So what remains now is to get started! ^^ Hopefully in a while i will be making cakes that both looks and tastes good! :D
