Ladies VS Musaeus Regatta

For any Ladies and Musaeus girl/oarswoman, past or present this is one of the biggest events in their sporting calendar. Being the sister of the current Ladies' College captain, as a tribute to both teams I created a 1lb cake and two toned mini cupcakes.

I do need to warn that my attempt at making the oars was not a success due to the lack of time and humidity, so they unfortunately did not keep their form.

The cake was a mini rainbow cake, you must be wondering what I mean about a mini rainbow cake, well the fact was this was a four layer cake, themed around the Ladies' College (Red and White) and Musaeus College (Blue and Yellow) colors.  To cover the surprise inside was was a white cream cheese frosting.

The cupcakes were vanilla flavor with with vanilla butter cream, colored to the same theme. The reason for  having all the four colors was because my sister wanted to send the message that out of the water both teams can create a close bond among each other for the future. Congratulations, to both teams on yet another great regatta.  

Flowers and Rainbows....

One of the most exciting cakes I have done was a rainbow cake  for my sister's 18th. Waking up at 6 am in the morning every day was so worth it when the end result was this;

  
I wanted to go for a more simple look for this cake so that when you cut into it there was a surprise in store.

The frosting was a delicious cream cheese icing that gave it that additional moisture and sheen. It is advisable to keep this cake in the refrigerator and take it out 15 minutes before serving because in the humid temperature such as in Sri Lanka the icing tends to melt quite a bit. So to avoid a pool at the base of the cake it is best to keep the cake chilled.
