Brother Sister Cake

This cake i did as a gift for my friends. They had just had a baby boy and already had a little girl. I wanted to do a special cake to celebrate him and congratulate them but i didnt want their daughter to feel like she was being pushed aside so i did the best of both worlds, a cake to celebrate their son AND  daughter. Top blue bottom pink. I loved how it turned out especially when i was still in the early stages of baking and i managed to make THIS cake i was very proud of myself (tap on the back for me :) ). They both loved the cake especially when it was a complete surprise neither of them expected it, i was real pleased with their reaction to it. The inside of both cakes were vanilla sponge with vanilla butter cream with fondant decoration. I hand made the baby topper and drew a crib stencil with card and cut around it with a knife.


Handbag/Purse Cake

I have since made a couple of bag cakes ( this was my first) i was very happy with the turnout of this one especially colouring the fondant ( which isnt easy with liquid food colouring) as it took me a long time to get the colour i was fairly happy with. The inside of this cake is vanilla sponge with vanilla butter cream and the decorations are fondant.


Fishing cake

One of my very first real detailed cakes. I did this when i was finally getting into my stride and learning a few tricks of my own. This cake is when i realised i was good at baking and decorating and when i really turned it all into a passionate hobby of my own.


Dalmatian cake

This is a cake i did for a good friend of mine's daughter, she really loves dogs, i mean she is besotted with them and it doesn't matter what sort of dog it it she loves them all the same. So it inly seemed fitting that i did a puppy dog cake. At that time her favourite dog was a dalmatian hence the dalmatian cake. The head and body are both chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream and the tail ears paws bone and bow are all fondant. I had a great time making this cake it was another cake i could basically do what i wanted.





Acid Face Ravers Cake

This one is an acid face raver inspired cake i did for my little brother. This is the first time i actually carved a cake. i as very happy with the way it turned out and was quite surprised at how easy it was to actually carve. as long as i put the cake in the refrigerator or freezer i had no problems. The inside of this cake is made with chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream and although im not a cake lover this cake was delicious . 



Harry Potter inspired cake

Here is one of my favourite cakes that i made. I thoroughly enjoyed making this cake mainly because i was given permission to do what i wanted as long as the theme was Harry Potter. This was the first time i carved any sort of figures with fondant ( i hadn't been introduced to modelling chocolate yet) and i really like the way they all came out.
