TARDIS Birthday Cake

Apologies to anyone who has been checking back for the promised Alice in Wonderland posts. They say bad things happen in threes, and the last month we've been hit by several life affecting and stressful events which have taken my attention away from the blog.

But I've got a few minutes, so here is the TARDIS birthday cake I did for my son's 5th birthday (sorry about the poor quality photo):



Because of outside stresses, I only had 2 hours to construct and decorate the cake when I'd planned to spend most of the day doing it. Luckily 5 year olds don't care about perfection and he was thrilled with it!

Hopefully I will - finally - get the party pics up fairly soon, as long as life is returning to normal for us :-s

Doctor Who Cakey Goodness!

Just a brief post today as I'm busy attempting to bake a Mad Hatter cake (also known as a Topsy Turvy cake) for this weekend's party. Expect lots of Alice in Wonderland party posts in the next few weeks!

I’ve been looking around a lot at cakes recently as my son’s birthday is coming up and he’s been asking for a Doctor Who cake. I’m leaning towards doing a Tardis cake since I found out Dr Oetker’s ready coloured icing packs now come with blue in the box (I tried colouring my own blue icing for his first birthday when I did a Pocoyo cake - never again!).

I’ve found some really fabulous cakes on the ‘net, which I’ll share here for other cake baking parents with Doctor Who mad sons!

I love number 2 on the list. It’s similar to what I have in mind for my son, except I don’t think mine will turn out this amazing!

But the best ones I’ve found were featured on the Sunday Sweets section of Cake Wrecks:

Check out the last featured cake where the baker actually decorated the inside of the Tardis too, with mirrors and LEDs. That’s not a cake, that’s a work of art.
