Mum was going through a bit of 'stuff' leading up to and even after her birthday so the actual day wasn't too great for her. I must admit that I was lacking motivation and my creativity juices weren't flowing as they normally do when I bake but I made sure as always to put my 'ahua' into her cake.
I made a two tier Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing and since Mum LOVES elephants, I moulded a baby African elephant out of Modelling Chocolate.
There are a few things I would do differently for the next square cake I make and wish I had've taken time to think about how the finished product would turn out as the icing of the cake was quite rushed.
Mum couldn't even eat her cake because of the 'stuff' that was going on but all her visitors managed to polish it off for her and gave glowing comments so here are the pics of the finished product.
