Jimmy Choo cake

This is my own creation of a Jimmy Choo cake My friend asked me to make it for her daughter who had been brought a Jimmy Choo bag for her birthday and she wanted a cake that resembled the bag.

 I had alot of fun making this one i think it might be because im a handbag girl myself so this was alot of fun to create. I used rose swirls for the covering of the cake and fondant for the decorations, The cake itself is chocolate with chocolate butter cream

Mothers Day Cake

I got a bit over excited when i was asked to make this cake because it was the first time i would be using my new heart shaped tin and i had a whole image in my mind of how i wanted this cake to look.

 I loved the idea of having the flowers down one side with the petals sort of drifting over the cake and i really like the way it came out, the only thing i think i would do different next time is have it so that the flowers look like the are flowing over and down the side of the cake instead of just on the top. but all in all i thought it was a very pretty cake and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the pearl look spray it gives such a great look to the finish of the cake. This cake is vanilla sponge with vanilla butter cream, the flowers are gum paste and i hand painted the wording. I also added pearl beading around the bottom border which i thought gave the cake a beautiful romantic feel.

Princess Cake

I loved making this cake, i had been watching how to do rose swirls for a while on youtube and i had done a few on cupcakes but was itching to try some on a full cake. I made it for my older sister who is 33. I wanted a princess theme for her as its her style but i didnt want something that looked too child like but had a hint of "young" in it lol. I had a lot of fun making this cake with the pinks and creams i would love to make another. The cake itself is made of vanilla and chocolate cake with vanilla and chocolate buttercream. The decorations are not edible they are store bought items with a pearl beading between the 2 tiers. 

Space shuttle cake

My nephews space shuttle cake, this cake is the first cake i used edible shimmer spray on and fell in love from then. i used it on the moon and thought and brought out a really cool look to the cake. i made the rocket from fondant which was easier than i thought it was going to be. the inside of the cake is vanilla sponge and vanilla butter cream, i bought the stars from my local supermaket. My nephew was really chuffed with his cake.

Christmas Santa themed cake

Christmas i my favourite time of year and Christmas themed cakes are my favourite cakes to decorate especially when i make them for my own home, i love to be able to get creative and do what i want and just let inspiration take me where ever i want to go, i googled a few christmas themed cakes and i came across one similar to this one so i had to have a go. I love the christmas grotto/cottage look, so i mad an 8" round cake and filled it then cut out a nice triangle piece and put the triangle on top of the cake to look almost like a little extension with a little chimney. I enjoyed making the santa too i had alot of fun moulding him and the reindeer. all in all this cake was simple but loads of fun to make.   :)

Chocolate Yule Tide Log

I have been making my christmas yule tide logs for a few years now and just wanted to share a picture i have of one i made last year with my fondant snow man. These have since become a tradition for me and my family, every year i get people asking me in november to make sure i have them on the chocolate log list this year lol. i feel very proud and its a big compliment to me that people love them, Im obviously doing something right lol. I think what makes my logs different is that i only ever make them with either Galaxy chocolate or Cadbury's depending on which chocolate the family member prefer. 

So... this is my famous chocolate Yule tide log :) Let me know if you like it. Thanks for checking out my blog :)

Baby Bump Cake

This is cake was a proud moment for me lol I had been itching to do a baby bump cake for a long long time, i have been watching people make baby bump cakes on youtube for a while and seen it done in many different ways and i loved one that i watched where she put the foot print under the fondant to look like baby was kicking, so when i was asked to make one i knew how i wanted it to look, I wanted it girly and pretty. at the time the couple i did it for didnt know babies sex so i stuck with yellows and whites. I used alot of cake though because i wanted the bump to be as realistic as possible so i carved it down myself and instead of making the bump perfectly round i made it sort of an oval shape so it would meet up nicely with the breasts and balance out. i did the same with the breasts i carved them down so they were a nice shape, next time i do one though i will make the breasts a bit more rounded, i noticed when it was covered they look a bit flat for my liking. I loved how it all came out and how the colours tied in together and the mother was very happy with the cake too. The cake itself is chocolate with chocolate butter cream and i used fondant for the decorations. with the bow i cut out 2 strips of fondant and made sure they were the same length and width, brought each end of the strip to meet up with its opposite end and glued with water, i then put some kitchen roll screwed up into the holes of the bow for it to keep its shape, once dried i stuck the 2 loops together and used another strip of fondant to wrap around those 2 loops to form a bow, then just added 2 long strips underneath onto the cake to finish the bow look. Hope you like it, please comment below and let me know if there is anything you would of done different or any tips you have for my next baby bump cake :)
