Black And White Wedding Cake Stripes Penguin Topper
I made this cake for a friend's wedding and it was not easy. Stripes are HARD. Very hard to make it perfect but I tried my best. Lesson one-no more stripes. Lesson two-no more black icing on white cakes. Made the toppers from gum paste. I love them!

Twin Boys First Birthday Cake
I made this for my darling friend's twin boys first birthday. I look some inspiration from the cakes already on here and added a few extras! One baby is coconut cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam. The other baby is vanilla cake with lemon curd filling and raspberry buttercream. YUM!

60Th Wedding Anniversary Cake
I made this cake for my grandparents 60th anniversary which is diamond. I wanted to incorporate the diamond theme into the cake so used edible diamonds, a diamond band and diamond pattern on the top tier. Really I would like to leave the topper off as I think the cake is nicer without it, but I know they will find it so funny so I'll put it on at the last minute!

Raspberry Ruffle Cake
I wanted to make a cake so I could experiment with the ruffle piping technique. It was my first attempt, it's a bit sloppy but not bad for a first go. This is a 5-tier chocolate cake with raspberry swiss meringue buttercream and toasted coconut filling. Kinda like a raspberry ruffle bar in the UK

Double Barrel Wedding Cake With Ruffle Effect
I made this wedding cake for a bride who wanted something simple but fun. Chocolate cake with nutella buttercream The bottom tier us an 8" round cake with 4 layers. Dowels and boards inserted in the middle for stability. Top tier is a 6" round. Bride and groom owl are made from gumpaste with fondant accents. The ruffle effect is from fondant and thanks to mycakeschool for the tutorial. it's alot harder than it looks, the fondant cracks easily! Needs to be rolled thin and I needed some trex into it. I got the hang of it by the bottom! Thanks for looking

Quirky Vintage Wedding Cake With Bunting
I made this for my wedding a month ago - first ever wedding cake, first ever teired cake and first ever figurines - talk about pressure!! Bottom layer is chocolate cake with nutella buttercream, next layer is a dummy cake, the next layer is vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream and lemon curd spread and the top layer is coconut cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam. I was so glad it didn't topple!! I got so much inspiration and help from CC bakers and I want to thank you all. One baker in particulare inspired this cake but I'm sorry, I can't find their name - if it's you, thanks. I hope I did an ok job ;-) Thanks everyone!
