Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cake.

I love making cakes that are a little bit different, so as you can imagine I was thrilled to be asked to make a TMNT cake for a baptism. This was a super fun cake to make and I was very happy with how it turned out.

Monster book of Monsters cake

This is the 2nd Monster Book of monsters cakes i have made and let me tell you they are great fun to make.

I also made mini cakes to go with this Monster Book consisting of potion bottles, a spell book, a cauldron and a bag of Bertie Bott beans.

Super Hero/Super Villain cake.

This cake was so much fun to make. I loved every minute of it.

The tiers on this cake consisted of 3 different flavours, vanilla with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream filling, chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and a lemon cake with lemon buttercream and lemon curd filling.

The top Joker tier of the cake was then finished off with an icing Joker style gun.

Pink & white Christening cake.

This is a christening cake that i made a while ago in pink and white.

The top pink tier of the cake was decorated to resemble a patchwork baby blanket design. The bottom tier had white icing baby items all around the bottom of the cake. Lastly no Christening cake is complete without a cute little icing baby laying right on the top.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

Looking for ways to use up your pumpkin flesh after carving your scary pumpkins.

Why not take a look at my delicious recipe for Pumpkin and ginger cupcakes.

This is the recipe that won a competition and was also featured in the fundraising book by Macmillan ‘The little book of treats’.

Justin Bieber cake.

A Birthday cake for a girl who is a huge fan of Justin Bieber and also likes zebra print patterns.

Starwars giant cupcake.

This has got to be my all time most favourite Giant cupcake that i have ever made. The bottom of the cupcake (the cupcake liner cake) was covered in icing and then sprayed with edible silver shimmer spray for a more metallic appearance. As the cake was for a girl i piped a rose swirl design all over the top of the cake using blue buttercream. Silver stars and edible images were used to decorate the top of the cake, which was then finished off with lots of edible glitter.

Tiffany Box style wedding cake.

I made this wedding cake in the style of Tiffany boxes, as requested by the bride to match her wedding colours. The 3 tier cakes were all chocolate cake with a rich chocolate buttercream filling and covered in sugarpaste icing. The bows and roses were also handmade out of icing. This is the rose and bow detail on the box lid.

The bride had the cake topper shipped over from America and it looked truly stunning, the photograph really does not do it justice. The gorgeous topper put the finishing touches to the cake perfectly.
