A new rose called "Eyes for You", it's almost like a paeony - I'm afraid I ran out of time to make the leaves so put it on the real plant just to take some pics while it was sunny! Thank you for looking :o)
I love sweet peas so have tried to make some while they are in full bloom here. Thank you for looking :o)
This poppy appeared from nowhere in a patch of gravel with no water, no soil but bloomed for ages - they must be very hardy! Thank you for looking :o)
First attempt at a poinsettia (for our Christmas cake, which I've yet to make - help!!) Thank you for looking :o)
Traditional fruit wedding cake with dusky pink gumpaste roses to match the bride's dress. I tried to achieve a guipre lace effect, dotted with sugar seed pearls. (My first 'real' wedding cake - I'm very nervous and hope the bride likes it!!). Thank you for looking :o)
First attempt at covering a square cake, and first attempt at a Casablanca lily - lots to improve on but a good learning curve! Thank you for looking :o)
Made for a friend's birthday - traditional fruit cake, decorated with sugarpaste roses in shades of peach/apricot - her favourite colours Thank you for looking! :o)
I tried to contrast the informality of an autumn hedgerow with berries and fruit with the more formal baroque style piping which I hand gilded (and took four coats as the colour kept sinking in!). I also tried to keep an acorn theme between the two. Thoroughly enjoyed making this and learnt many valuable lessons - ie only colour acorns in natural light, otherwise they will look like mini oranges!! (An added bonus was that it won first prize in the competition - a very nice surprise!). Thank you for looking :o)
First attempt at a wedding cake and piping - my very talented friend very kindly offered to take these photographs. I enjoyed colouring the hellebores - but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get two the same! (I was delighted when this was placed second at a show). Thank you for taking the time to look! x
Gumpaste blackberries and bramble flowers - made for the last evening of my evening class. Loved making the blackberries, but a real test of my (im)patience, it's amazing how far tiny balls of gumpaste can bounce!! Thank you for looking x
My first attempt at a shoe cake for a friend's birthday - thank you Nati for the fabulous tutorial! x
