A 60th birthday cake for a company director who loves going scuba diving. Little bit of humour as the treasure chest is "ye olde DEFRA treasure chest" as he works for a government quango! Had a lot of fun making the underwater elements and actually got to see some of these for real while snorkelling in Mexico a couple of weeks later.

Posh Wedding Cake
My best yet! a 'proper' wedding cake made for my brother-in-law and his new wife. Married in Mexico they wanted a traditional cake for their wedding reception at home with tropical flowers and chillies. The construction of the flowers seemed to take forever and were a feature of my dining room for about 3 months! I think it was worth all the effort.

Classic birthday cake
Tuesday 6 July 2010
The pieces below are the culmination of a years part time class in wired sugar flowers. They include, clockwise from the left; a spring arrangement of miniature daffodils made using a pulled flower technique (no cutters); calla (or arum) lilies suprisingly easy to make but very delicate; a Xmas arrangement with a poinsettia flower, ivy, holly leaves and holly berries; a posy of blackberries, acorns, blackberry flowers, oak and bramble leaves; and last but not least a crescent shaped bouquet including freesias, roses, carnations, various leaves and cymbium orchids. All good fun, I'm going back again next year for the advanced class!
The Fist of Rock!
