My adorable sister is a whizz at cake making. She should be professional. She has made all my DC's birthday cakes which everyone swoons at. She makes cup cakes to rival the magnolia bakery.
It's her birthday soon and I am resolved to make her a cake deserving of her. She'll of course like it no matter what, because she's very sweet. However, I would like it to be super yummy. And I want to be able to decorate it simply but effectively.
I'm no slouch in the kitchen, I can bake ok with a decent recipie. What gems can you share with me? Any suggestions for simple but effective decoration? That's the part I'm not so hot at. I'm not very arty and don't have a particularly steady hand.
I have quite a few recipie books along the Nigel, Nigella lines, but have not really tried out an effective birthday cake type of cake yet.
Oh, and kids will also be eating it.
