Birthday Cake For Nicola


Some pictures of a 10" square cake to celebrate Nicola's twenty first birthday. Underneath that present exterior lurks a yellow sponge cake lightly infused with a lemon syrup and filled with a rich butter cream. I hope the birthday celebrations all went well. Happy Birthday Nicola x

Stephanie and Marks Wedding







It was with great pleasure I made a cupcake tower for the wedding of Stephanie and Mark on the weekend. The cupcakes were a vanilla base decorated with a cream swirl and topped off with lilac coloured flowers. Mini cupcakes displayed on the top layer of the tower were adorned by an assortment of butterflies of varying sizes. The cutting cake was a 5" fruit cake covered in fondant and decorated to compliment the cupcakes.
The overall effect was visually very stunning and it was a delight to work with such a lovely bride who provided me with a wonderful design brief and then gave me some artistic freedom to come up with goods. The venue at The Blue Water Grill provided a sensational back drop and the room looked spectacular.

I have since heard the wedding day was celebrated by all and it was a truly wonderful event. My very best wishes to the happy couple and thank you for letting me provide your cakes on your very special day. Tammy xx

The little couple at the bottom of the stand are made of sugar paste and were supplied by the bride.

BIG BIG CAKE



Yes it was a grand cake of mammoth proportions. Eighteen eggs{free range of course} and well over a kilo of butter this baby was enormous. This 10" square Madeira cake was filled with lemon flavoured butter cream then covered with fondant and decorated for Mickey's sixtieth birthday. My favourite thing about this cake was making the number 60 out of sugar paste and then drowning it and my kitchen in vibrant,bright blue, sparkling,edible, food grade glitter. Get the picture. Worth the effort however as it gave the cake that wow factor.

Themed Cupcakes



Some boxes of cupcakes for you guessed it a sixtieth and fourteenth birthday. Can you guess the themes... of course you can. Think nautical and then what every girl needs. Hope the respective birthdays were enjoyed and celebrated thoroughly with some time put aside for snaffling the odd cupcake.
