Best Wedding Entrance Ever
I have just found this video on YouTube and it made me cry with joy
I thought that this was going to be naff and cheesey but the longer I watched, the better it got.
What a fantastic idea to get people in a great mood for your wedding
What a great memory and what a great story to tell the grandchildren
Star Thank You Cake
This vanilla sponge cake was made for a lady leaving work after many years with her company.
My client wanted a cake to say thank you for all her hard work that could be given to her at a leaving party. … continue reading ‘Star Thank You Cake’
Nappy Cakes?
What are nappy cakes? you may be asking, just as I did.
I must admit that my first thought was “not sure they would taste too good” but of course they are not cakes made from used nappies but products for new mums all wrapped up and stacked like cakes.
Perhaps it is not the first thing you would think of doing with nappies and Johnson’s baby lotion but I must say they look fantastic. … continue reading ‘Nappy Cakes?’
Pink Handbag Birthday Cake
This cake was made for a girl’s 7th birthday party.
It was a vanilla sponge cake with vanilla butter cream filling. I missed out the marzipan on this one and substituted it with a layer of fondant icing.
There was not too much shaping to do with this cake because the shape of the bag was almost rectangular. … continue reading ‘Pink Handbag Birthday Cake’

This cake was made for a 20th birthday party. The character is a well known cartoon character. I wasn’t familiar with it when my client described what she wanted although I probably should be as I have a 5 year old and could pretty much recite the script of some scooby doo episodes. … continue reading ‘Cartoon Birthday Cake’
Things To Do Birthday Cake
I made this birthday cake for my dads 60th birthday celebration. I decided on the list as my dad makes lists for almost everything. There are also some running jokes in the family such as Dad coming home from work with a puppy or buying job lots of certain shampoo in case the entire world stocks of it disappear tomorrow. … continue reading ‘Things To Do Birthday Cake’
Volcano Birthday Cake
This birthday cake was made for a 6th birthday party. The recipient was mad about dinosaurs so I decided to make a volcano cake with dinosaurs around the bottom of it.
I made the shape of the cake by cutting up the sponge into rough sections and sticking them on top of each other with butter cream until I had a shape I was happy with. Once I had the shape I covered the cake with brown fondant. … continue reading ‘Volcano Birthday Cake’
Mighty Boosh Birthday Cake
This cake was made for an 18th birthday party. Luckily for me, I love The Mighty Boosh so I was familiar with all the themes and logos.
The cake consisted of one main cake and then a second shallow tier. I did it this way because I wanted a 3D birthday greeting on top of the cake to make it more interesting. … continue reading ‘Mighty Boosh Birthday Cake’
