Carp Cake

I was asked to make a cake by the lady who had the horse cake I did a while back,
this time for her Husband's 60th Birthday.
She wanted something related to fishing as this was his interest and he loves Carp fishing.....
so as I haven't made a fish cake before I was very keen to do this.
This was the most theraputic work I have ever done,
I so hope I get to make another fish cake in the near future.
..........................
This measures 20" x 8"

"Happy New Year!" Black & Silver Cupcakes

"Happy New Year" to all my Blogger friends and a big thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by & leave a comment! :o)
These little gems are for a New Years Party we will be attending tonight,
They are vanilla cupcakes with the usual rosewater buttercream,
half were topped with a circle of embossed fondant
and then painted with edible silver paint....
very time consuming
so with the other half of cupcakes
I decided on something a little quicker,
I have always LOVED Kylie's (Le Cupcake) cupcakes
so she was the inspiration on the black with silver balls....
not as elegant as hers always are, but I still love them.
Here is a link to her Gorgeous creations www.flickr.com/photos/lecupcake/1814093028/in/set-7215760...aren 't they just stunning!!!!!!
.......... All in all very pleased with these.

Bauble Christmas Cake

This is our Rich Boozy Christmas Cake,
I have fed this cake with so much Brandy this year I can't wait to cut into it!!!!
It is covered with a very thin layer of marzipan,
as we can't stand the taste of it in our house and then rolled fondant over it,
decorated with hand cut,
embossed fondant baubles and dusted with lustres.
I piped royal icing dots around for the boarder and then sprinkled the cake with magic sparkles to give it that frosted look! Here's Wishing you all a "Wonderful Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!"

Star's Horse Birthday Cake

I was asked to make a birthday cake for a young girl who is mad on horses, the horse was totally inspired by www.flickr.com/photos/31142739@N08/3118163406/ such beautiful work! The horseshoe part is also cake, which was an offcut and thought the candles could be inserted into this. I loved making this cake and the customer was over the moon with it! The board measures 16 x 20 inches

In The Night Garden Theme... Naming Ceremony Cake

I was asked to make a
Naming Ceremony Cake in the theme of
"In The Night Garden"
but without the characters, so this is my take on it!
A 2 tier cake, both chocolate with Rosewater buttercream,
covered in pale green (bottom tier)
and pale blue (top tier)
The bottom cake is decorated with Flower balls & Daisies,
Whilst the top is decorated with pink butterflies, blossoms, clouds and stars.
The topper is a hand cut moon and cloud(s) with the little girls name on
dusted with pearl and silver lustre dusts.
Top tier 9"
Bottom tier 11"

Cherry Blossom

This is an 11" chocolate cake made as a taster for someone,
firstly... I know it's very large for a taster but I needed to try out the cake tin anyway
and combined the two,
secondly... it's a bit on the shallow side because I ran out of eggs
but that doesn't really matter.
The design has nothing to do with anything really,
it's just that I couldn't bare looking at an undecorated cake
and always wanted to try this out.

RAMC Cupcakes

Hubby wanted to take some cupcakes into work for the guys,
as many of them are deploying to Afghanistan soon,
thats why some have desert camouflage fondant
and the others have cherry backing coloured fondant.
They are all topped with RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) fondant badges,
handmade by me using a mould I made.
Here is a link to show you how I made them

Wine Bottle Cake & Rose

I was asked to make Sharon a Birthday Cake by her husband as a surprise,
leaving the design up to me
and knowing that the Birthday girl loves wine I thought I would make her a wine bottle cake
(I have been dying to make one of these!!)
with a sugar rose to give it a more feminine look
and I am very pleased with the result..... as were they!
This is my first attempt making a wired rose,
I didn't have any instructions on how to make it,
so it was complete guess work......I know it's not perfect but I am still very happy with it all the same!
The cake (crate and bottle) is rich chocolate sponge
with rose water buttercream covered in fondant and painted,
the rose is fondant with wire stems laid on a piece of ruffled fondant covered in lustre.
