Something Different

This was made for my daughters engagement party. I used chocolate moulds for some of the shapes and painted the shapes and the piping with gold afterwards. This is a technique I would really like to explore and improve on as I love all things rococco and a bit over the top.

For a fashion loving friend with a penchant for designer handbags.

Time for Tea!

Four birthdays on the same day, bit of a challenge. I though it might be easy, as I have a reputation for making cup cakes to make themed tea cup cakes for each person. Below are the basic shapes prior to decorating.

Cheesecake!

This cake was created for two colleaugues in work sharing the same birthday. The bottom layer is made from a gluten free cake recipe and the top three layers are real cheese, grapes and leaves in flower paste.

Apologies for a very blurred picture. This one was for a fitieth birthday to a lady who was selling up,buying a narrow boat and escaping the rat race. This was a tough challenge, getting the shape right, and painting the traditional motifs in such a small scale.

Our Chalet Park

We have a weekend chalet in West Wales and in October lots of the residents have birthdays. Each of the pots is dedicated to the birthday boys and girls.

A Pub Till

I was asked to make a sixtieth birthday cake for a local landlord, the theme? his favourite thing. It didn't take long to think of this - money!!!!

I struggled to get the 'cash' made from icing sheets, something to do with it being illegal to reproduce fake money. I compromised and photocopied the cash on to paper, no one was fooled!
