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.

Flowers Flowers

Just a quick look at some flowers I have made recently out of sugar paste. The Oriental Lilly are a personal favourite and look magnificent on a tiered cake. Flowers can be made in any colour of your choice and really provide that wow factor. Sorry about the poor presentation they were still drying when I took the snap.

The other picture shows off a collection of frangipani's also made from sugar paste and I know it's totally OTT but I was given an assignment to think of an imaginative way to show case the flowers and that is what I came up with. Once again the frangipani can be made in any colour you desire.

Have I mentioned how stunning these would look on a cutting cake ... enough said enjoy.

Valentine's Day

Just to show you what we enjoyed on Valentines Day. Amazing how you can dress up a humble lamington cake, albeit a heart shaped one and continuing my obsession with raspberries some cupcakes to match. Verdict ...delicious

Chocolate and Raspberries

These were delicious. Dark chocolate mixed with fresh summer raspberries topped with a simple butter cream icing, a perfect chocolate fix on a warm summer day.
