A custom order for a Birthday cake "She likes carrot cake and zoos" was my brief :D This cake was so fun to make and I love the sweet but simple design. I tried out Mary Berry's carrot cake recipe (minus the walnuts) from http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/657707 which turned out really well too! xx
Two tiered circular wedding cake and my first try at painting with royal icing! I created the flowers by piping the icing onto the fondant and then using a slightly damp paintbrush I dragged the icing towards the centre of each petal. The topper is made from silk flowers. I love how this turned out!
Inspired by http://cakecentral.com/g/i/3216670/i-made-this-baby-shower-cake-for-sukhi-my-colleague/ It's the first time I've tried vertical fondant stripes on a cake and it's so hard to make them straight and clean! In comparison to the original I don't feel like I did it justice, but as a cake on it's own I'm really proud I've managed this!!
This is my Nyan Cat Birthday cake inspired by the infamous viral videoand Ro from Nerdy Nummies. Nyan Cat : Nerdy Nummies : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqKIHGD_pmg&feature=kp Loved making this!
A vanilla sponge with strawberry jam filling to celebrate my sister leaving secondary school :) x
Tiny two-tiered cake I made for my Mum's Birthday :) I used roll out white icing and coloured pieces of it with green paste colouring and blue liquid colour to create the Peacock. I accented with sugar crystals, edible glitter and silver balls. Just wish I had a black edible pen instead of the brown, but otherwise for a cake thrown together in a matter of hours, I'm pretty happy with it!
Fruit cake for Christmas! I used marzipan and roll out icing as a base for my royal icing accents and christmas topper :)
I made this cake for my partner's 21st Birthday (he has a thing about dinosaurs!). I tried out paste colouring and I absolutely love it and can see why its so popular to use, so I'll definately be investing in some more colours!!!! I decided not to put legs on the dino as I tried placing them down and found it made the cake look a bit cluttered, so instead his legs are *hiding* in the grass :P All comments and critiques are welcome and much appreciated!!

OK, so this was meant for the Steampunk cake contest and I worked sooo hard to get it done on time; it was one of those cakes that EVERYTHING I did decided it didn't want to go right so every step had to be redone atleast twice! Then came to the deadline and I'd posted it and stupidly put my name at the end of the description!!! Urghhh sooo upset that I did something so stupid so close to the deadline. So I was taken out of the competition :( At least I know for next time. I'm not totally happy with how it turned out, but I'm proud that I didn't give up on it. I tried buttercream icing for the first time too! Yummy!!! Any comments / tips will be greatly appreciated, please bare in mind this is only my second cake, and my first figure! Thanks all! Beth x
I've been teaching myself cake decorating from scratch and thought I'd try out a small, simple cake design. I can see alot of errors in it but I have learnt from doing this. I still thought I should put it on the forums for you to see :) Beth x
