Worms 3D Birthday Cake







Worms 3D Cake
Worms is my son's favourite playstation game,
he just can't get enough of these little characters!
Months ago Will's wanted me to make an R2D2 (Star Wars) cake as his Birthday cake,
then he changed it to Super Mario!
but knowing how much he loved worms
I asked him if he would prefer a Worms one instead........
he thought that that was the best idea EVER!!!!!

Needless to say Will's LOVES this cake
and now wants me to make these characters out of clay so he can keep and play with them!!!

Cake is a light vanilla sponge with rosewater buttercream,
all decorations are handcrafted and edible.

Radley Handbag Cake





My first attempt at a handbag cake......
and really loved making it!
Everyone loves a little Radley bag and couldn't resist
replicating this in cake form!

A couple of weeks ago I had a phone call
asking if I would donate a cake to put in a raffle
(along with cakes from other local cake makers/designers)
at the Royal Navy Sultan Summer Show (Gosport)
so if you live nearby,
pop on down to the show and buy a raffle ticket
and try and win my cake!

Hot Pink Beetle Car Cake





I love this cake!!
and I know I said it's hot pink but the photo makes it look red,
trust me it's pink!

It took me quite a while to actually make the first cut on this cake
to carve the shape,
just something about car cakes that make me freak a little
but I'm not worried about it now
.......bring on the next one I say!

This cake is quite obviously for a
young lady turning 18 who loves bright pink.

The cake itself is a vanilla sponge with rosewater buttercream
Measurements:  Length 10" x Width 6.5" x Height 5.5"
Board size = 12" x 10"

Hot Pink & White Cupcake Tower
With Giant Cupcake





The Giant Cupcake is chocolate/vanilla layer cake,
which is hand carved to match the small cupcakes shape,
decorated in hot pink and white with co-ordinating butterflies
(to match the invitations)
to look like they are in flight over the cake.

The cupcakes are Vanilla (pink cases)
Chocolate (silver cases) 
decorated each with three open roses on top.

I LOVE the look of these,
........even my husband said they they are
his favourite wedding cupcakes I have made!
..................

This Cupcake Tower was ordered to celebrate the 
marriage of Rachael & James at their
evening reception tonight (Friday 27th May 2011)

The couples wedding day was back on March 4th 2011 in beautiful Mexico
and they kindly sent me a photo of them with family & friends 
looking gorgeous on the beach!
...........and I know you'll agree that Rachael looks absolutely stunning!


The newly weds then went on to Jamaica for their honeymoon!

Rachael brought her mother along to the consultation(s)
to help on design & decision making
and I couldn't have asked for nicer people to work with!

"Congratulation's James & Rachael"
I wish you all the happiness!

Ivory & Gold Bas-relief Wedding Cake



Ivory & Gold Bas-relief Wedding Cake




I loved making this cake!

I was inspired by Maggie Austin Cake,
 after seeing her beautiful Bas-relief work on her cakes on facebook,
I really wanted to give it a try!
 Granted....... it's nowhere as amazing as her gorgeous creations
but I like it and boy it was pretty time consuming too!
but now that I've made up a way of doing it myself,
with a little more practice and a few more detailed additions
the next cake should be much better!......well lets hope so!

Wasn't quite sure what I was going to do at short notice

Abbie & Dom's Wedding Tower

A Wedding Cupcake Tower
for a lovely couple who got married yesterday! The weather was lovely and sunny
and the reception was held on the waterfront in Christchurch
at www.thejetty.co.uk
just beautiful!
Teal and White is a beautiful colour combination
and when decorated with daisies, seashells & pearls....perfect!
they wanted a splash of orange in there somewhere,
so I added orange daisy centres.
The cupcakes were Vanilla & creamy Buttercream,
Rich Chocolate & Dark Chocolate Ganache,
The top cake is a 6" Rich & Boozy Fruit cake
decorated to match the cupcakes. I love this design,
simple daisies and shells look so gorgeous together
.........and so fresh!

Hydrangea Cupcakes





Some quick cupcakes just to show off
my beautiful new Hydrangea cutters!
I ordered these the end of last week from Italy,
 from a very talented friend of mine Toni (Le Torte di Toni)
and they arrived today,
pretty good delivery time too hey!
Toni is an amazing young lady,
she won a TV Cookery competition
(which was quite a tough, long and what I would believe
an emotional experience!)
 This show was Italy's equivalent to Masterchef!
Please note that she has only lived in Italy for about 10 years
as she is originallyy from Australia
So she must be darn good!!!
Toni won her own TV series (along with her beautiful daughter)
making and decorating cakes!
Just how amazing is that!!!
......
Well, I just had to get the flowerpaste out and try them out!
I am sure you will agree they are beautiful flowers!!!
xXx

Flower Encased Cameo Wedding Cake




This simple designed cake would look fabulous at any
Vintage Styled Wedding,
big or small!
Each tier has a border of sugar pearls highlighted with lustre
and the top tier has a triple layer blossom
in pistachio green (a favourite of mine)
with a slight ruffle effect
and a cameo as the centre.
