My sisters 40th birthday cake made by Sophie & me.

Sophie gets cracking!

 Good afternoon readers,
It was my sister's 40th birthday this month and my niece Sophie wanted to bake her a special birthday cake so we set to work....

Whisking away.

 Sophie got on with beating the eggs light and fluffy while i was weighing out the rest of the ingredients and lining a 9inch cake tin making sure the paper came over the top of the tin to stop the cake from burning,

Lined &ready to go.

Slowly does it.

 Now Sophie poured the fluffy egg mix slowly into the flour/sugar mix.Once well mixed we divided the cake mix into two bowls then added yellow and orange (Bakers tool kit)

Oh pretty!

 I like using disposable piping bags as its less mess.Then we filled then and tided them using a freezer bag tie.

Ready for the oven.

We then piped spirals alternating colours then popped it in the oven on 190 for 35 Min's until cooked through,

Sophie making sure it tastes yummy!

 Once out the oven we left it to cool a little before turning it out on a cooling rack.

The inside.

 Then we cut it open and used marmalade and chocolate butter icing to sandwich it back together then covered the whole cake in the icing. 

All hidden.

 Once covered i put a ready made topper on top and smoothed it down,then Sophie set to work icing the top edge and then the bottom once it was sat on the cake board. 

 We then put wafer Daisy's all the way around and this is the result.Looks awesome as well i do hope you agree.

The end result.

                It took us 5 hours from start to finish and best of all my sister LOVED it.

Looking good...

And so we have it my sisters surprise birthday cake she had no idea what the inside was like until she cut it and she was really happy with the top as she is dolphin mad! The topper cost just £4.00 from Country kitchen cakes on facebook and is edible too. The total cost for this cake was just under £10 to make topper included.







Thank you for taking the time to read to the end,Until next time ttfn stay lucky,

Love

Bella and Sophie,

My review of Pact Coffee Subscription Service.(Plus Special offer for all readers any bag for £1)

Good Evening Readers,

                                            If you are a coffee lover like me then you will have several kinds of coffee (no value stuff will do!!) and also several ways of making them ie espresso,filter ect  and dread running out  (i need my morning caffeine fix) then Pact Coffee is for you,  

They are a online company that offers a coffee subscription for £6.95 each packet They then send you a bag of freshly roasted coffee but not any old coffee these each have a unique flavor like the Sitio Chapada AKA Chocolate coated toffee.They even have a Milk chocolate cherry one (cant wait to try that) If you want decaff they have that too.

It is so easy to order and there is no fixed contract you can cancel at any time,You can also pause it if you need to for any reason,Delivery is free and order before 1pm for next day delivery.

It is so easy to order you just enter your name and what kind of coffee drinker you are then you get taken to coffee heaven,There you will see a variety of coffees taken from all over the world,
I signed up and chose to try Sitio Chapada first so was excited when it popped through the door the very next day,

What i really liked was the personal service you get from Pact they send you a welcome email and even call you up the day after you get your coffee to ask was everything  ok and how did i like it,Shame other companies don't interact more like Pact i felt very welcome and was delighted at the communication,

I could not wait to try it so out came my filter and the kettle on.(TIP. NEVER let the water boil when making coffee as you will burn it and it will taste very bitter) once i opened the packet the smell was amazing a deep roasted coffee with a chocolate toffee hint.My nose went wild as i waited for it to brew i could not wait to taste that first sip and boy i was not disappointed i had never tasted coffee so good! There is nothing i don't like about this one and i am looking forward to trying the rest of them.
     

Love Pact Coffee!
