30Th Birthay Bunting
I made this for a friend?s 30th birthday. She asked for pink, green and blue bunting with white spots or plain, with pink string piled on the cake and not smooth non-crusting buttercream. It was the first time I had ever got really specific directions on what someone wanted so I was nervous I would get it right but she was delighted. Victoria sponge with buttercream and raspberry conserve filling, the three tiers were also pink, green and blue. I don?t have any photos of the inside but they came out really vibrant colours which I was pleased with because the batter hadn?t looked as deep a colour as I had hoped. The bunting is fondant with tylose added.

Retirement Cake
Fat free lime sponge cake with mango pieces filling and lime creme fraiche filling and topping and mango decoration. Made it for a lady at work's retirement - the first time I was actually asked to make a cake for something outside immediate family so was quite nervous! She was delighted with it though and she was a really thoughtful member of staff who looked after us all so I was pleased.

Marshmallow Birthday Cake
Birthday cake I made for myself. One of my friends is lactose intollerant so I cut out a slice and used royal icing on it instead of buttercream and put it back in with parchment to prevent it touching the butter. In the layers there is jam, buttercream and small pieces of chocolate. My mum made this cake for us for many many years for our birthdays but this was my first attempt

Engineering Train
This was the first time I tried making a themed cake. It was the anniversary of a group of us starting work on the railway as engineers so I made this cake like one of the engineering trains we use at work. Everyone thought it was amazing and although it is no where near as good as alot of the ones on this site I was really happy with the results!
