I was in a romantic mood!
I was asked to make this cake to complement a mint green themed baby shower, sex of baby unknown.
I was asked to make this for an eighteen-year-old who is a devotee of designer handbags! She loved it
Made this today for my son's school Christmas party... I created the template myself.
My neighbour wanted something extra-special for her husband to show how much he was loved and appreciated...this is what I came up with! He really appreciated it!
Personalised cupcakes for Dad!
I made this for my nephew to celebrate his birthday and his getting into the RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts). He loved it and has promised me a free pass into his first Oscar after-party...provided I provide the cakes!!!
The teddies took ages but I liked the effect of the 3-d surround!
In the UK we call cupcakes 'fairy cakes'...so here's my take on fairy cakes...actual fairies on cakes!! They were a real hit with the birthday girl and her friends!
These are great for party bags!
Here's a detail from a cake I made for a cake for a pint-sized Liverpool supporter! Had fun researching the kit (not!) but I thought it was a nice touch to get it right and I gave him the same number as his hero - Gerrard! The 'grass' was made out of crushed biscuits mixed with green food colouring and the chocolate buttercream icing really made it look like turf!
I made this cake for a three-year old fire engine fanatic.(That's him standing next to Fireman Sam!) This is my second attempt at a shaped cake and I think I've got the hang of it now)
I made this for my sister-in-law's birthday but I think it would also be a great design for a mother's day cake. (Her children loved their 'mini me' s!)
I made this for my son's christmas party at school. At the school concert the week before the children had ended by singing 'Rocking Around The Christmas Tree' and this gave me the idea for Santa's band! Hope you like!!
Decided to give the traditional Jamaican rum cake a festive feel! (Mmm rum cake...)
My first attempt at a shaped cake! I made a large base out of madeira sponge and decorated with black and white fondant squares (took aay-ges) and then made Roary out of a 7" madeira - the wheels and lights etc are fondant - and trust mem - he really does look that weird! (he's a character on a kid's tv show in the UK ). The birthday boy was v happy!
My friend asked me to make a celebration cake for her mother in her favourite Nigerian attire. I made the champagne bottle and the table out of fondant. Her mum loves it so much she has refused to cut it! My friend had to stop off for shop-bought cake for the guests! LOL
My first attempt at making sugarpaste roses for my mum's birthday cake. Not as difficult as I'd thought and has made me want to try my hand at other types of flowers. She loved it! (And it tasted good too! Mmmm Jamaican Rum cake!)
I don't know if you get 'In the Night Garden' in the States but in the UK it's all the rage with pre-schoolers and hip college students who have just learned the meaning of post-modern irony!
Terrified shrieks and kids cowering behind their parents wasn't quite the reaction I'd expected whern I unveiled my cake ...but they did eat every crumb!
A birthday cake for my croc-loving son!
A birthday cake for a friend's niece -
A friend asked for a birthday cake for his mother. I made the sofa out of a shaped madeira cake and the woman out of modelling paste. Behind her are a few pieces of plastic 'Happy birthday' confetti and I made the little b'day card for the special message. The tiny glass and huge champagne bottle are party favours. This is only my third cake and I'm having a blast!!
I desperately hunted for a crocodile cake for my son's sixth birthday so bought the zebra, giraffe and hippo with the idea of plonking them on a shop-bought cake. After browsing this site I decided to have a go myself and made the cake including the cheeky crocodile!. The best thing was that the entertainer we booked for the day is interested in my supplying him with reptile-themed cakes! WHODATHUNKITT?!!!
