Neigh!

This little guy turned out so cute I just couldn't wait to put him on the cake before I shared him! Thank you so much to yourstrulytx from YouTube for a great tutorial on How to make a fondant pony!

I'll post another pic once he's on the cake x

Craig's Handbag

Craig wanted a handbag so I made him one. The end.

But really, this was for a lady who he works with, the lady who usually organises everyone else's birthday cakes, so they thought she deserved something special.

It was really fun to make and I've been hanging to use this recipe - flourless orange and almond cake with rich dark chocolate ganache... Jaffa!

This is my first post from my new iPad so let me know what you think! - can you tell the difference and is the photo ok?

 

Liana's Baby Shower

Thank you again to Liana for asking me to do yet another cake!

This time it was for her baby shower and she pretty much let me come up with the ideas this time. I had originally decided to do a gift box cake, but yesterday I was googling baby shower cakes to work out what message it should have, and came across this one and thought it was really cute!

I used Lia's tutu when I was taking the photos, another idea I got from a wonderful cake decorator who I follow on YouTube, mackandnorm (Andrea). And who also gave me an idea for Lia's birthday cake - can you work out which it is?

Anyway, here's how Liana's cake turned out. I didn't stick the booties down in case she wanted to keep them. Let me know what you think!

It was white chocolate mud cake with purple vanilla buttercream, yum!

Food that looks like food!

It's only a month late but I've just finished Shane's 30th cake. We've been so busy we haven't had time to celebrate.

Behold - The hamburger cake!

Tall Cake

This one was fun! Two 20cm round cakes, one white chocolate, one chocolate mud, stacked on top of one another to make one tall cake. Covering it and getting it smooth was HARD! Note to self: Search YouTube for How to video on covering a tall cake!

Allira is Lia's dance teacher and the Starling on top is the logo for her dance academy.

I shouldn't even be putting this photo up because it's completely out of focus, but I am anyway, just so you get the idea. If anyone from Allira's party is reading this can you please send me a better photo so I can put it up here!

Golf Ball Cake

I love when I finish a cake, step back and think 'I made that'. I make all my cakes from scratch and I'm proud of it.
