Cheese Cake

Well not a cake made of cheese but cheese made of cake! This is a 70th Birthday cake for Alex's Uncle Gavin. A chocolate cake with raspberry filling and chocolate icing covered in fondant.... and yes all the cheeses are cake, covered in icing and the grapes are sugar paste and so is the gold bow and the mini bottles.

Laura's Flower Cake

This is a gorgeous wee mini sized cake for Laura for her birthday. The flowers are sugar paste and the cake is chocolate with a raspberry filling. I had lots of fun making all the different combinations of pink mini blossoms to match the big one.

Planes and Racing Cars

This is my favourite cake so far, better than Iggle Piggle. This is a birthday cake for Alex.... racing cars and aeroplanes. It was 2 different cakes a wheat free chocolate and pistacho on the bottom and a banana with caramel between the layers on the top. The aeroplane and racing cars were all made of modelling paste. The clouds are my favourite part and were an inspiration at 2am when they were made...

Iggle Piggle

This is my Iggle Piggle cake..... for Edward who turned 2. He recognised who it was sitting on his cake so in my books that makes it a success. First fondant covered cake, first fondant figure and first paid cake for a non-family member.

July Cupcakes

These are the first cupcakes I made for work. They were Raspberry Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream and Vanilla cupcakes with Raspberry Buttercream icing. With Fondant roses on top.

Oh my goodness 2 proper cakes to make in the space of a few days ... one 70th birthday and one Iggle Piggle 2nd birthday.... quite different cakes I think. That means I have 2 to make for this Friday and 2 to make for next Friday in total. Staying calm and taking deep breaths.... Pictures to follow...

EEK new Blog all about me and making cakes! I thought it would be a good start and might inspire me to new cake making heights. Actually I prefer making small cakes and cupcakes and my favourite thing to decorate them with is flowers.... note the name petal cakes.
What started all this cake mayhem off.... I offered to decorate my brothers wedding cake in Jan so that gave me the perfect excuse to do lots of cake decoarting related courses and now it's all about perfecting my cake style and finding reasons to make lovely cakes.
That's all for now
