It was my friend’s daughter Maya’s birthday and I wanted to do a special cake that is not so common. So I decided on a bed cake.
I made my two cakes. Basic recipe. The one cake was a rectangular one (8 eggs,2 cups margarine, 2 cups castor sugar, 1 cup milk, two tablespoons Vanilla, 4 cups self raising flour, the second was a 4 eggs square cake (half the ingredients for the other cake) and butter cream….lots of it.
I made the head boards from the square cake and the bed itself from the rectangular cake. Through trial and error, I cut out this cake. The trouble was in stabilizing the cake. I used carrot sticks eventually and the cake was stable.
my my my…is that home made?it looks magical,how can i get in touch? can yOU do it for me?
that is really beautiful piece.
Ooooh! Thais so gorgeous Kamari!
That is nice! Where can you be located in Nairobi? Pls put contact details.
Thanks so much for positive comments.
Awooohhh!
That cake looks yummy…..mmmhh.it is sooo…cute really find the words beyond lovely
Trial and error are how all mine are made. If I can make a suggestion…It looks fabulous, shape and bake a sugar cookie for the headboard and foot board next time….cook it an extra few minutes and it will stabilize just fine with icing :-D from experience. I created a graduation cap and the cookie was the board…it worked beautifully and was still all edible…:-D good luck!
Wonderful Mashaalllah!
Thanks for the suggestion Karen. Will surely try this next time.
