A friend asked me to make an Octonauts themed cake for his daughter's birthday. I really enjoyed making this one.
My friend's little boy is mad about Mr Tumble (a TV character in the UK) and so this is the cake I made for his birthday. It was a steep learning curve - it's been really humid here for the past few days so I had a few problems with the model, but I think he turned out OK in the end.
This is my interpretation of a cake from the Debbie Brown book 'Gorgeous & Gruesome Cakes for Children'. I really enjoyed making it and am pleased with how it turned out. Debbie's design has more detail in the skirt of the cake, but I liked the simplicity of it without.
This is a cake I've just done for a friend's 40th birthday.
I made this for a friend's daughter this week - I was pleased with how it turned out. I thought the butterflies on wires were a fun addition (although my OH wasn't too keen).
This was my first ever Barbie-doll cake. I made it for my friend's daughter's second birthday. The party was today and we had a lovely time - she loved the cake.
My friend's little boy is called Spencer, and as a family they all love the Thomas the Tank Engine stories, so she asked me to make him this special cake for his 1st birthday. It was a madiera sponge with blackberry jam (jelly) and vanilla buttercream, covered in rolled fondant. I was really pleased with how he turned out as he's quite a different shape to the Thomas engine which I have done previously.
This was my first attempt at making a "wedding" cake - it was for the street party we had to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. The bottom layer was fruit and the top layer was chocolate. I really enjoyed making it and was pleased with the overall effect.
This was my first attempt at making and using chocolate flavoured MMF - it was delicious!! I was also pleased with how the bow came out, as that was something I hadn't tried before either. I suffer from being the only female in a male household, so my husband has to put up with his birthday cakes being somewhat girlie...he didn't seem to mind though (he's more interested in what's on the inside!) :o)
My youngest son loves a TV show called Big Barn Farm which features talking animals. This was my first go at stacking cakes and I was pleased with the result. Both layers were chocolate cake with choclate ganache and covered in MMF.
This is the Greendale Rocket train from the Postman Pat stories, which my son adores. The cakes were chocolate with vanilla buttercream, covered and decorated with fondant (edging done with RI). The characters were all modelled with fondant too.
