Ravishing Roses
jumping on the bandwagon here! am new to piping so was nervous about this! 3rd time iv tried piping, so was fairly pleased how well it came out (and now easy it was!) im still having trouble with my buttercream as you can see tho! the ones on top were fine, its the ones on the side, i could see them slipping...argh! just cant seem to get the buttercream stiff enough grr. (phew!). charing ?15 for this it seems a hit on my fnb page tho

Will's Wheels
motorbike cake for a little boy who's 3. thanks to juicyjules for the inspiration (well, i practically copied!). vanilla sponge with buttercream & jam filling. tyres are choc chip sponge cake. i find black fondant really sticky & fiddly.... hence the grass & mud covering up the cracks/.holes on the tyres!

Fishing Theme Cake
i knew i should have stuck to covering it in fondant! i havnt been making cakes long, only a few months really (self taught)... but aaaaaaaargh! i dont know where i go wrong with buttercream! as you can see its crystalised and the colour has started to run. why??! also i made the boat & figure at the last minute...which i realise i should have done a few days before and let dry! the whole thing started to collapse/slide/ go out of shape! any advice appreciated! :) x

Funeral Cake
they say theres a first time for everything! this is a cake i did for my stepdads mum...well for her funeral/wake anyway! they wanted something to comemorate her & she used to be a driving insructor. his family said it wasnt appropriate to hav a cake...but well, theres a cake for all occassions, right?! i added a lily and some roses, at the last minute - first lily iv done (and freehand too, i normally copy an image)...just thought it made the cake abit more "respectable" somehow. x

Golden Anniversary Cake
i was shown a pic of a cake as a brief (not sure who it was done by originally). they wanted it to look a little like it, but my own take on it. its the first time iv worked with lustre spray, and with piping writing... i need more practice on that! any tips on how to do the writing more smoothly/easily will be much appreciated!
