I made this cake for a 3 year old girl's Christening.
I made a model of my daughter with her lap top and mobile phone, Her two favourite things!
My son was given a Play Station for his 9th Birthday and so I rose to the challenge! I hadn't heard of Tylo Powder then, to firm up the fondant, so it was a bit soft to work with.
This was my son's 8th Birthday cake. He was given a new watch for his Birthday which gave me the idea for the cake.
I made these cupcakes to be sold at the school Summer Fair where I work.
This is a 40th Birthday cake I made for a colleague at work. I made a model of her to sit on top, and a map of Cyprus, as she loves to holiday there. The cake was to be for 100 people, but when I made it, it seemed too shallow. I then made another 12" square sponge and sandwiched the two together. One of these cakes uses 13 eggs, so by the time I had finished I had used 26 eggs! However, she was very pleased with it and at least there was enough to go round!
I personalised this cake for my mum's 70th Birthday. She is a keen reader so I made a model of her coming out of a pile of books. Also, she is good at languages so I piped 'Congratulations' in different languages on to the cake.
I made this cake for my daughter's 15th Birthday Party. I tried to make it look like her!
My friend's husband is a keen golfer and she asked me to make this cake for him. The sand in the bunker is made using soft brown sugar. I didn't make the golf clubs.
My son wanted a Fireman Sam cake for his 3rd Birthday. I made the spray of water coming out of the hose using a piece of a polythene food bag, gathering it at one end and sticking it into the hose with some royal icing.
Another cake I made for my son. I modelled the characters using pictures of them for reference.
I made this cake for my son's Birthday when he was 2 years old. He was obsessed with Postman Pat!
I made this cake using an 8" round, a 6" round and a 6" square Madeira cake. I cut and shaped them together. Covering in sugar paste, I made a 'wood grain' effect by adding some darker brown to pale brown paste and not blending in completely. After I had piped the strings, the fun started! When I moved the cake on to a table, the strings broke into little pieces as the two boards I had joined together were not quite level. I had to redo the strings which was a bit of a pain. I used a large storage box to transport the cake and luckily it reached the party without any strings breaking!
My friend's daughter asked me to make this topper for an additional cake to be displayed on the buffet table at her Reception. She married a Guardsman, so i tried to replicate his uniform on the sugar paste model.
This cake was for my daughter's 8th Birthday. I coloured the sugar paste base with blue and green coloured paste, and deliberately didn't mix it in fully. This created a marbled effect. The mermaids were modelled from sugar paste with a little Tylo powder added. I brushed some silver petal dust on to the cake to make the waves, and also on to the mermaid's tails, starfish and fish to finish.
I made this cake for my friend's daughter as she loved Babar the Elephant stories.
I made this cake for a 4 year old boy who just loves Scooby Doo.
