Celebration Cakes - photos only and no comments please

I have made another Christmas tree biscuit tower for the Show this year, and have included a couple of photos of the process too. I used this gingerbread recipe http://www.ukthermomix.com/recshow.php?rec_id=53, iced them with royal icing and decorated with silver cachous. The recipe made enough biscuits for more than one tower. I also graduated the colours so the bigger biscuits were a darker colour, and I added more white to the icing as I iced each size of biscuit, so that the smallest biscuits were the palest. I glued a dowel to a cake board, and used this to support the tower, which is why the biscuits have a hole in them, apart from some of the small ones which are placed at the top of the tree.

DS obsessed with boat that park in the road side and call it funny boat - so here is his 4th birthday cake using 1.5 bimby chocolate cake. A friend of mine did the decoration.

DD's birthday cakes

Well, my DD asked for a cake shaped like 2 dogs, but as she only asked this morning there was no way I could juggle that.  This should do the trick:
Magic Bean Cake and butter icing

Cricket Cake for DS's 7th birthday.   For the cake I used a double recipe of EmeraldSues quick mix dark chocolate cake, and for the icing I used the creamy vanilla frosting that Frozzie posted.  The lighting for the photo isn't good, as I took this photo late at night just as it was finished - and then forgot to get another photo the next day in daylight

DS requested his favourite cake for his birthday party - New York chocolate cheesecake. Made the cake in good ol' TM. Oreo base, Lindt ganache using method from I Love Chocolate book and Maddy's chocolate buttercream icing.

I made a two tier orange and poppyseed layer cake for my SIL's mother's 70th birthday. One layer was filled with orange curd and the other with orange jelly.  The cake was covered in Swiss meringue buttercream http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2012/18181/swiss-meringue-buttercream-thermomix-recipe.html

I have also made another gingerbread Christmas tree. However, this one was made in one piece. A tree of life pattern was cut out of gingerbread, baked and then iced.

I went on a one day Christmas Cake decorating class last Saturday with my sister-in-law. I made the cake a few weeks ago to mature.At the class we covered the cake in marzipan and fondant icing. We then decorated the top making a Christmas Tree using a technique called Quilling.It was hard LOL. The top of my tree isn't right but I really pleased with what I achieved.
