Apologies that I haven't written for a few days, i've been quite busy! What with visiting Thomas's family on the weekend and then preparing for Halloween all of yesterday, i've been little busy bee!
Yesterday I had planned to make some muffins and a cake with a punch so that Thomas and I could have a mini Halloween party to ourselves. I made a fruit cake with chocolate icing, with a spider web decoration iced on top. This was my first time at decorating so the spider web didn't look too great, it was more of a square!
Next I had planned to make some chocolate muffins with a buttercream icing on top with a green spider web decoration. However, I was left with way too much batter after I had filled all of my muffin cases, so I decided to use the left over batter to make another cake. So that left me with 2 cakes and 12 muffins! Just for 2 people! It was getting rather late by the time I was able to ice the muffins, disaster struck. The butter cream icing wouldn't set! Which meant that the muffins now looked awful, tasted amazing, but looked awful! It also meant that the spider web decoration wouldn't really stick to the butter cream. So I decided to use my green decoration icing to decorate the spare chocolate cake instead. I was too tired by this point to put a spider web on the green cake, even though a simple white web would have looked really good on top.
It had reached midnight by the time I had finished baking and making the Spiced Autumn Punch. Despite being tired and worn out from all of the hard work I had created myself, everything tasted delicious! There's definitely one thing that me and Thomas can be sure of for a while....we're stocked up on cake!!
