Bob Marley cake and cupcakes.

28 Feb
 

I enjoyed making this cake as it was a theme i haven’t done before. It called for a different technique covering the cake and cutting out the silhouette style face of Bob Marley using black sugarpaste/fondant icing. I had fun with the cupcakes, they have got to be one of my favourites.

This is my latest cake and this one was definitely one of my favourites to make. It was for an 18th Birthday party that was having a circus theme.

The name of the Birthday girl and edible ticket border.

No circus is complete without a scary clown tent.

Happy Valentines Day xx

My friend asked me to make a cake, she wanted to surprise her husband for Valentines day. This cake was a fruit cake ( as her husband loves fruit cake) covered in marzipan and then in sugarpaste/fondant icing.

The decorations and the little bee figure are also made out of icing.

The Monster Book of Monsters.

I cannot begin to tell you how much fun i had creating this cake.

It is based on  ‘ The Monster book of Monsters’ book, as seen in the film Harry Potter. Everything else is also cake including the cauldron, the bag of Bertie Botts beans, the book of spells and the 3 potion bottles.

Here is a closer look at the cauldron with a tentacle creeping out of it.

Leopard print, bags and shoes.

12 Feb

I made these cupcakes for a girls 14th Birthday, she loves leopard print patterns and designs, so i decided to incorporate that into the design of the cupcakes. I designed 2 different styles of cupcakes, both were vanilla with vanilla buttercream, one was topped with a leopard print icing topper and the other was topped with a leopard print pink heart icing topper.

Here are some other cupcakes that i made that were topped with icing shoes and handbags.

Wedding Cupcake Tower

1 Feb

On Saturday a friend of mine got married and i feel really lucky to have been asked to make her wedding cake for her. We decided to go with a cupcake tower and have a small cake on top. My friend told me her wedding colours were purple and white and that she would leave the design up to me.

The cupcake tower consisted of 84 large and 30 mini cupcakes, 114 in total.

The large cupcakes were decorated with roses, flowered hearts and the bride and grooms initials, the mini ones were decorated with a swirl of purple buttercream and a sprinkling of edible glitter.

Here is a closer look at the cupcakes.
