This was ordered for the clients mother's birthday.

 She loves her garden so I had to design the cake with this in mind,

also to add her pets, bird feeder and her favourite tipple....Cava!
The client absolutely loved it when she came to collect it!
This did have "Happy 60th Mum" and a few more flowers on but I added those after I took the photo!

 (I nearly forgot to put it on! lol!)

The actual cake is a deep 10" Coffee Cake

Diesel Cylinder Head Cake

After putting my Radley Handbag cake

in the HMS Sultan Summer Show

I received yet another enquiry for a cake,

but this time something a whole lot different!

He asked if I could make a "Diesel Cylinder Head" shaped cake

for his wife's birthday (as she is also in the Navy and works on these!)
of course I had no idea what it was or looked like,

so seeing as he worked just around the corner at Sultan he showed me some pictures

and I agreed I could make it.
Thinking it was a relatively simple shape/design!
boy was I wrong,

I find the simple ones seem to be the most tricky!
But anyway, when he came to collect it

he said it was just what he was expecting and loved it
.............I really hoped his wife liked it as much as he did!!!

This measures 11" long and a good 5.5" deep
Cake is chocolate sponge with chocolate ganache!

Fantasy Daisy Birthday Cupcakes

Fantasy Daisy Cupcakes
These were made for a returning customers

sister's birthday.

I met this lady about a couple of months after I started my business up,

she was actually my Surgeon 

and had the lovely job

of taking my pins out of my wrist after a previous operation.
She asked me what I did for a living (to see if I needed a doctors note)

and I told her I just started working for myself and cheekily gave her one of my cards
....well, you have got to plug it wherever haven't you!
Funny though, her sister makes cakes also,

but she later ordered some cupcakes for her sisters birthday as a surprise!

and now is back for more a year later!!

Cupcakes are Zesty Lemon & Vanilla flavours.

Dr Who

    40th Birthday cake for a huge Dr Who

(but I have got to admit my favourite Dr was Christopher Eccleston,

wasn't the Dr for very long but Wow! he was awesome!)

and sitting alongside it is a minature K9 and a tiny Radley Bag.

so if you live nearby,

pop on down to the show and buy a raffle ticket

I love this cake!!

but I'm not worried about it now

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!
