The Cake - its a basic butter cake recipe. I made a double batch, and spread it evenly into two square cake tins. Once cooked and cooled I cut it like this:
The decoration:
Purple house: I brought white fondant and kneaded blue and pink food colouring in to get the right consistancy/colour (about 350g of fondant). Roll out the fondant so it will fit over the whole cake. Once in place, smooth down the edges and trim off the excess icing.
Brown Roof: I made a chocolate butter icing, and piped it on in the shape of tiles. (use a flat piping attachment)
Black door: I had left over black fondant from another occasion so I used this and rolled out a rectangle.
White window: Easy - just roll out a bit of white fondant
Green grass: You could colour white fondant, however I had green left over. The roses I made using a mould and different coloured fondant. (make sure you oil the mould so the flowers come out easily)
And finally I used a butter icing coloured purple (by mixing blue and red) to finish off the edges.
I hope this cake works for you and would love to see some pictures of your creations!
