Castle Cake

I love this cake, it was so effective and colourfull.

The top of the cake (the castle) was made out of pastillage, fixed to a board covered in sugarpaste.

The base cake is vanilla sponge, with apricot jam as the filling, a simple cake as it was for a four year old and her friends.

The cake is covered in regalice, edged with 'jelly tots', the cake was dowelled and the castle stood on the top.

The mother of the birthday girl provided the toy fairies which we stood on the cake.

Antique gold, boxed cupcakes

These fabulous muffin sized cupcakes (130) were chocolate sponge, with piped buttercream and coated with a glossy chocolate ganache.

Each cupcake was topped with a sugar cala lily and leaf, place in an individual perspex box, each one tied with a metre of ribbon, with beads, butterfly and tag on the top.

The effect was that of a french confectioners window! Stunning.

Garden Wedding

This bride wanted a summer garden wedding -in style - very relaxed, therefore simple fairy cakes were the order of the day.

The vanilla cakes had a vanilla buttercream and were cut in butterfly shapes. The chocolate cakes had chocolate buttercream and had the tops sliced off, filled with buttercream and stuck back on the top like top-hats.

90th Birthday

This was a light fruit cake (fabulous cake with sherry soaked fruit, inc pineapple and apricots) and covered with pretty pink sugar orchids of various sizes.

McVicar!

This cake was for a vicars 70th birthday, the cake is a vanilla sponge, covered with regalice, that we pleated. The legs and shoes are solid icing.

This was a 21st cake for a fan of sheep! First time ive used the shaped number tins and i think they worked great.

It was a chocolate cake with a buttercream filling.

Roses And Lillies Wedding Cake

This is my first wedding cake. The bottom tier is a fruit cake, the middle: a vanilla sponge with buttercream and jam and the top tier is fruit. All three are covered in ivory regal-ice.

The floral sprays consist of cala lillies, roses, rose leaves and generic green leaves. To add a bit of glitz I added crystals and bear grass.

The board is also scattered with crystals.

To add a bit of drama, gold tulle was scattered draped around the cake stand, this matched the brides colour scheme on all the tables.

Hen Party Cake

I warned the bride to be that id get her some strippers at her party.... i didnt disapoint. This was a fun cake and went down a storm.

30th Cake

I like the simplicity of the design, it could be adapted for any birthday. The colours can be matched to any theme too.

70th Birthday

A 70th birthday cake for my great uncle John, he is a carpenter and is always on hand for a bit of DIY, so this cake seemed appropriate.

Twins 30th Birthday Cake

This is the cake I made for my husband and his twin brothers 30th. They are very different in their interests but both have their mother as their focus as she isn't very well at the moment, this is why i decided to put her at the centre of the cake. The left hand side has one twins interests and the right hand side is the other twin. Hence why it is such a jumbled set of objects. Anyway I think its great fun and it went down a treat!

A quick birthday cake!

My neighbour asked for a birthdday cake for her husband with only 10 hours notice! this is what i rustled up for her, any excuse to practice my smooth icing and im there.

Kids Castle Cake

I love making cakes for kids too, they are good fun as they arent as fiddly, this was for a 3 year old girl, so obviously the castle had to pink!

50th Birthday

This is my first paid for commision, It was for a 5oth birthday party with over 100 guests. It was a 12" round chocolate cake with a buttercream filling.

The top is decorated with three different sizes of orchids. There is a lot of detail on the cake but it was at the request of the client and I think it works.

My First Cake

I am really proud of this cake. It is my first 'proper' cake, I made it for my nans birthday and it took me about 4 weeks to make all the sugar flowers on top.

I put it all together with the handy assistance of my tutor, and I have to admit she did the writing, however I smoothed iced it and piped the edge.
