Bro-in-law Cake

My future bro-in-laws birthday rolled round in January and as I had done a cake for his sisters birthday, it was only fair that I did him one.

I did a plain sponge cake decorate with fondant icing. He loves pandas so I made 2 pandas for the top. I also added a model made to look like him leaning on pillows with an xbox at his feet. As he is a huge Harry Potter fan his cake wouldn't be complete without a small gesture towards HP so I created a wizards hat and placed this at his feet.

The Happy Birthday and border were cut out using the Cricut Cake Mini.

The cake was greatly appreciated and seemed to go down well although, to me, it wasn't the best as it was very narrow. It didn't seem to raise much. I think I need to get a new pot of baking powder as I've had it for quite a while and the potency (apparently) can deteriorate.

Dad-in-law and Bro-in-law

So my Future brother-in-law (FBIL) and future dad-in-law (FDIL) both have their birthdays in January so I had 2 cards to make in 1 month. Not such a hard task any more. That is when your printer wants to work!

Now for my FBIL I have done the same card as I did for my Harry Potter mad friend only, he loves Harry Potter more than her. He is an avid collector of all the replica wands and has bought a lot of them. Last I heard he had bought another 4 for his birthday! Due to this it only seems right to do the same card. Needless to say he loved it and prob won't ever throw it away (Yay me)

Now for my FDIL it was just as simple. His fav race car of all time is the John Player Special. I have to admit it is a BEAUTIFUL car. All I did for this find a nice picture of the JPS, printed it out, cut around it, stuck it to gold mirri card, cut around that and stuck it on using foam pads. Then I just folded an a4 black card in half stuck it on and stuck some 'Happy Birthday' peel offs on and some gold card candy in the corners.
A simple yet effective card!

Undesirable No.1

On thing to mention about this girl. She crazy, funny, evil and LOVES Harry Potter so what better Birthday Card to do her than the Undesirable No.1 poster from the 6th film with her name and her picture.

This was pretty simple to do as Warner Brothers have a website where you can download a copy of the poster with your friends details on it.

All I had to do was print it out and stick it together however, I used a different picture and raised the poster like a frame.

She thought it was brilliant but now I need to up my game with her next one lolz.
