Handbag, Shoe And Shoebox Cake
This is the second one of these that i make. The shoebox is a buttercake, layers of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry cake filled with strawberry and chocolate flavoured buttercream. The bag is a caramel mudcake. All covered in FondX. The shoe is made with gumpaste. I am happier with the shoe on this cake, as it is more to proportion, but i much prefer the handle on the first one of these I made. The logo on the bag was handpainted with gold dust and almond oil, it had DJ which is the girl's initials.

Miniature Cake
3 inch base, 2 inch center, 1 inch top I tried to ice these in buttercream and failed miserably and then moved to fondant. Even the fondant was fiddly and it wrinkled and well it was not good at all. The cake was a mess, i just took the picture from the best angle that i could find to hide all the horrible bits. The piping is done in buttercream, the roses are royal icing, the base is fondant.

My Birthday Cake By Min
Went to lunch with some friends today and this gorgeous cake was a present I received from my good buddy Min. I love oval cakes!!! It's a banana cake with cream cheese filling, covered in fondant, with hand made gumpaste tulips,and a fondant bow. It has a really cute button at the back too, forgot to take a picture of it. The lady with the tulip is me, it's so funny because it's such a good representation of me decorating, with hair tied up and bits of hair sticking up in every direction.

Topsy Turvy Wedding Cake
This cake was a nightmare to make, so many things went wrong with it, and it made me sick with worry because i didnt think it was going to make it to the reception in one piece. Not having the proper boards and dowels like the instructions in CC didnt help. The base cracked, the icing cracked, i had to take it apart twice and reassemble and patch it up!!! I made the bride and groom a few weeks earlier out of gumpaste, at least I know already that the bride and groom liked those as I sent them a picture.

Nintendo Gamecube Cake
This is the second one of these that i've made. It's 2 stacked 6 inch square cakes covered in fondant to look like a Nintendo Gamecube. The controller is made out of fondant, and so is the cord etc. The first one of these i made the controller out of cake, but because of the small size of it, and the cuts it was too hard to ice and made to look neat. So fondant is the best next thing.

Character Bride And Groom
This is a bride and groom Im working on for a wedding at the end of February. The picture has gone back to the bride's mother (who ordered the cake) for approval. Both figures done in gumpaste, groom's glasses done with silver flower wire and lots of patience (i almost felt like squishing them last night, as they didnt want to be square frames)
