First trip to Paris and God knows I have to return. There's so much more to see and capture but I am glad I got the Eiffel Tower

unfortunately it was raining the day I visited the Eiffeltower and I had no tripod. So I had to deposit my camera on a wet railing.. I hope she'll forgive me :D

After a weekend decorating gingerbread cookies, it was then back into "normal" cake making!

I go to a French conversation class every week, and had been asked to give a presentation in French about my cakemaking. What better way to illustrate my hobby than making a Paris-themed cake for the class to share! I used to live in Paris and love the city, particularly in the Springtime (to paraphrase the Cole Porter song).

The cake was made with Fairtrade sugar, so I entered it into the "Fairtrade Bake-Off" competition which was launched on Facebook the day that I made the cake (hence the bag of sugar in the background) - I didn't win the top prize (although I did win a runner up prize, which was a box of Fairtrade goodies), but I had the consolation that I was pleased with the cake - and it tasted good!

Lemon madeira cake layered with lemon buttercream and lemon curd, covered in sugarpaste. Handmade Eiffel Tower made from royal icing using the run out technique. "Cherry blossom" side design with handmade branches and blossoms, adapted from my cherry blossom cake (fast becoming my signature cake).
