Frangipani tutorial

Many have asked me about the sugar flowers that I used on the lemon meringue cupcakes. I can tell that the flowers are called frangipani. A very “simple” flower to make as you use 5 petals in the same size. Frangipanis is often in the color combinations white/yellow or pink/yellow.

So while I was browsing for suppliers for the cutters I found this cool Frangipani tutorial online. It is with photos and is well explained. I hope that you will enjoy it and that it will help you make beautiful frangipani flowers for you cakes and cupcakes.

You can buy frangipani cutters here:
Earls Craft ‘N’ Cake
International Sugar Art Collection

Note: If you know other suppliers who have frangipani cutters please let me know and I will add them here. Thanks!

Happy Caking

Cake of the year

Ok, so its been a while since my last post. The reason is that we have been moving to a new place. It has taken a lot of my time and the good part is that I will get a brand new kitchen :-) but it will not be ready until 2 weeks or so.So there is no baking for me yet :-(

Also if you are one of those who have sent me an email or comment please forgive me for not replying to you. The reply list is long but all the renovation of the home takes all my time at the moment so I will do it when time permits.

So what other news do I have to you? Well I am a member of a nordic cake forum where we have just ended the poll for the cake of the year 2007. I was so happy to see that it was my cake that won the title ” Cake of the year” as that cake was one of the best I made last year. So for now until my kitchen is ready, be patience and I will soon post more about my baked goodies :-)

Happy Caking
