been a while...

Its been years since I last blogged, but as requested, I’m back online to show off what I do in my spare time. Here is a quick summary of a few of the things I blasted over the last 24 months…

SHEEP CAKE. - A cake that looks a bit like a sheep with the help of marshmellows

RILEY'S 1ST BIRTHDAY - There was only one thing it could be...



Molly's Cushion - Gift for a friends baby (not edible)

Mr & Mrs Dowell's Wedding Cake -

Three layers of fruit cake with simple decoration

The Brides'made' dress


it was requested, by the bride, that we make our own dresses (just to be different), so we were handed the material and sent on our way....i never say know to a challenge... but this is my first, and very possibly, last dress.

Postman Pat Van Cake

Run rabbit, run...

Wanted to create a cake with a shooting theme but also wanted a cake that would taste nice and feed a large crowd, so decided to stick with the old faithful 'Devils Chocolate cake' . Used caramel as a filling to be a bit different but i think it went a bit hard in the end. Used butter cream for the grass and made the bunny ears out of royal icing. Found it quite tricky to keep the ears standing up, had to reinforce them with kebab sticks. Im happy with this cake as its a fairly simple design and yummy!

Pitta Patta

Made this baby cake in frustration, to represent my inpatience at having to wait so long for my nephew to arrive... But we shall call it a baby shower. Its just a vanilla sponge but i wanted to try and make little booties out of icing as i had seen it done a few times. CUTE. Now im just going to have to come up with something better for two weeks time when he is finally here....I made this Chocolate cheesecake to, the base is made from Bourbon biscuits

its in the dogs bowl...

Sarah's last day working at the kennels before the arrival of Riley James...Its a basic chocolate cake. baked in a glass bowl with angled edges. turned upside down. hole cut out of the middle. covered in chocolate buttercream icing. malteasers used for doggy biscuits.

Goodbye my friends...

Managed to make 17 in the end (including the 2 i made on the day) Sold all of them. (apart from the last one which i gave to an auction). They were well received. WAY more popular than i could have imagined. Giving them all name tags was a great idea. Currently making the last one now, it was a request from a boy who wanted me to send him a blue one, i must be mad!

chew chew stu

Its a cake with an Austrian train exiting a tunnel in the austrian alps...or thats what i'm telling people... Made it for a fan of Austrian trains, hopefully the recipient will recognise what i was trying to achieve. its made of three layers of chocolate cake, carving the third layer into a hill and using the extra pieces of cake to make the train. i used coconut and green colouring for the grass on top of the green fondant for extra texture and to cover up the cracks.

Tockwith Show

This is why there was a long period of what appeared to be little activity, but i was actually just stock piling...so much still to do, so little time. Hopefully people will buy them or else i shall be stuck with the little bleeders
