Fireman Sam & Jupiter
'Durable cake for 3D and weddings' cake with chocolate buttercream filling/frosting and covered in fondant. Fireman Sam made out of fondant with some tylose mixed in. Didn't have much time/notice for this cake, so wasn't quite as I had hoped, but the birthday boy and his little friends loved it!

Beer Mug & Peanuts Birthday Cake
A cake I made for my brother-in-law's birthday. Used the Hershey's Perfect Chocolate cake recipe from here, and the French Vanilla Buttercream for the layers and the foam on top. Outside of mug is fondant that was then painted, as was the beer that was being poured into the mug. Peanuts are real. Hope you like it!

Noddy & Friends Cake
A birthday picnic with Noddy & Friends for my friend's son's 3rd birthday. He loves Noddy and was so excited when he saw I'd incorporated a little figurine of him as well to share in the picnic! This was the first time I'd done models of figures etc so new lessons learned there!

Garden Cake
A cake made for my mother, who's an avid gardener... her favorite flowers are lily of the valley which is why I used them in the pot... obviously nothing is to scale... but the look on my mom's face and tears in her eyes (of joy!) were enough to make me proud of this creation! I used several different cakes I'd seen on the web for inspiration... Hope you like it!

Running Shoe Cake
A cake representing many firsts for me... my first "order" for my friend's husband's birthday... my first ever carved cake.. and my first time ever to use fondant (as is evident from various cracks etc! - Everyone said... oh but it just makes the shoe look authentically old! lol) All of the above made me at times, literally want to cry.. but it was all worth it when my friend came to pick up and said "OMG is that the cake or a shoe?" (it was based on her husband's favorite running shoe).

Lightning Mcqueen
Only the 2nd cake I ever iced... it was for my son's 3 birthday party at home... he's a big Cars fan. Took me forever (funny when I think back to it! lol) but I was so proud at the time. Now I look back and see mistakes! lol! But it was this cake that got my friends to encourage me to take "orders" from them and made me realize how much I love doing this! Can't wait to learn more and more! The base cake is half chocolate and half almond. The McQueen cake on top is red velvet.
