Hawaiian themed cake and biscuits

Last year my cousin turned 16 and she had an Hawaiian themed birthday party to celebrate this special day. Like I said in a previous post I wasn't a very good baker till a few years ago. All my previous attempts of baking were disasters.

I was asked by my aunt to bake the cake and biscuits for the party. My cousin chose a picture from the internet of a cake that she liked. The biscuits I was given free reign. I struggled with the design of the biscuits until the day I had to bake them. It was a light bulb moment (LOL). I decided to make a mixture of chocolate and plain biscuits and since she had a theme I really didn't want to leave them plain . I cut them using cookie cutters

These are some of the biscuits I made for the party. It was normal butter biscuits which I rolled and cut into shapes and then decorated with royal icing that I had coloured.

I wasn't really happy with the shape of the cake. One side was rounded a little more than the other. Not sure how I missed that when I was decorating. No one noticed except my husband, and the birthday girl was happy with it. So that was a disaster averted.

I really liked the look of these biscuits, it resembles garlands. These are also plain butter biscuits decorated with royal icing.

The saying 'practice makes perfect' is definitely true. Even though I still make mistakes with my baking, each and every time is a learning experience for me.
