Easter Birthday Cake
Made to travel! Fruit cake covered with fondant. I had to travel 8hrs with this cake! My Aunt was having her 70th birthday in the middle of the bush on a game farm!! No electricity 4x4 roads deep river crossings the works. And as you can see it made it there I was so nervous to open the box!!!!

Willy Wonker
My first Topsy turvy. Started out as three layer and stayed that way for about 24hrs the the signs of strain started to become very apparent!!!!!!!!! I guess I made a few mistakes wrong cake mix and I didn't check my dowls! Can't say I was ever happy with the bottom we fought through the whole process! It crumbled the fondant tore 5 times etc ect!!!! Ah well thanks for looking!

I made this cake for a very special ladies 80th birthday. I struggled with the frosting I don't think the shortining we have in this country is the same as the US, plus we done have that cool paper tower you have. Mmmm I'm jelous of all you can get in first world countries!!! Thanks for looking!

50 Roses For 50 Years Of Marrige
All gum paste. There are fifty or more roses, 20 or more gerbas, & about 20 lilies. I made this cake for a very special lady celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary they were having a combined party with a 21st and I offered to do both cakes. WHAT WAS I THINKING??? To much presure for a newbie. These were my first attempts at stacking, heck I wish you could have seen the carrot cake I attempted to stack. I laughed really hard when it started to colapse till I realised I'd have to bake again!

Mr Plod
Mr Plod is part of the Noddy series (my first attempts at figure modeling) I did for my son's 3rd birthday! Now that it all over I feel lost, I worked many long nights on these (after I put my son to bed) hopefully I'll find an equally exciting project BEFORE his 4th birthday! I can't wait that long!!!! I have loved doing these and am very inspired by all the kind feed back I have received here. THANK YOU!

It is all sugar paste marzipan & MMF I had so much fun!!!!!! Can't wait for his next birthday!!!! It was very difficult to photograph!

Noddy In His Car
I made this cake for my son's 3rd birthday. He loved it but refused to cut it himself. It is a vanilla Madeira with butter cream and sugar paste accessories. This is my second attempt at a 3d sculpture cake last year I did Thomas the tank engine. Gee I had fun just had no idea of how much cake gets "wasted".
