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!
