Tara's 30th - my first commission!

I happily accepted my sister-in-laws request to bake a cake for her 30th birthday party. We decided upon a white chocolate cake with white chocolate ganache and passion fruit filling. A bit of googling pulled up this yummy sponge recipe from Woman's Day and I used another recipe for the filling from the Australian Woman's Weekly. Scrumptiouso!



The colour theme of the party was yellow and grey, yay, my favourite "Pinterest colours" at the moment! And I happen to own a yellow cake stand!

I covered the cake in MMF. And for the first time I used ribbon on the cake since I knew I would be assembling it on a boat. 

Tara's mother had fortunately bought some candles and how well they fitted in with my last-minute-on-the-spur-of-the-moment decorations! 


We had to drive for a couple of hours to get to the boat cruise so I used a styrofoam box that belongs to a friend and used some ice-packs to keep it cool. During the drive I realised I hadn't glued the cake board to the cake tin so I had lovely images of squashed cake but somehow it survived!
