Annie's actual birthday was on Wednesday, 20th May. So I just bought her a simple cake to share with her squash mates at Sarawak Club since she was having training that evening.
Last night I was also busy making Allyson's birthday cake for tonight's party (the month of May is overflowing with birthdays). It was a last minute 'commission', so I didn't have time to use fondant and used cream instead. I tried a new chocolate mud cake recipe which turned out quite yummy, with chocolate truffle filling. I'm still in sore need of practice for my icing-piping techniques though, but the overall result was satisfactory methinks. I still prefer the look of fondant.
