Snowflake Wedding Cake
I loved working on this wedding cake – such a simple but stylish design. The bottom and top tiers are fruit cake with a vanilla sponge for the middle tier. The cakes are covered in sugar paste, decorated with snowflakes and edible gems and finished off with pretty purple ribbon. Congratulations to Rob and Karen...
Cakes of 2010
Not all of them by any means, but here is a selection of the cakes I made in 2010. Plenty more to come in 2011 🙂
Christening cake
A couple of weeks ago it was my niece, Florence’s, Christening day. As well as making her this crochet blanket as a gift, I was in charge of making the Christening cake. The bottom layer was chocolate and the top was vanilla, decorated with fondant stripes and buttons. I modelled the little shoes on top...
Home Bake
I love cookery books, especially anything to do with baking and cake decorating, so much so that I had to have two extra shelves put up in the kitchen to house them all! So I was very excited when I asked if I’d like to review a copy of Home Bake by Eric Lanlard. I’m...
A few cakes
Just realised I haven’t blogged any cake pictures for a while, so here are a few I’ve made recently. A 21st birthday cake for one of the staff at Faith’s nursery. A few cupcakes I iced as a demonstration in one of my cupcake classes. Mini cupcakes tower that I donated to the ‘Revealing Experience...
September Bake It! Club
It’s that time of month again where we get to see your yummy creations! I hope you all enjoyed the apple crumble cupcake recipe – it’s certainly become a favourite in our house and is great for using up the glut of apples at this time of year. If you haven’t got round to baking...
Wedding Cakes
Here are a few photos of a couple of wedding cakes I have made recently. The first was for some good friends of ours, which made me extremely nervous as we were invited to the wedding and I had fears of the cake tasting horrible or collapsing! It was really nice to do something a...

All the creations looked yummy and there were some great variations involving different chocolate, apples and cinnamon. Congratulations to Sian at Pumpkin and Piglet who the random number generator picked as the winner of the lovely...
Big Bakeoff winner!
Last month I decided to enter English Mum’s Big Bakeoff with my Summer strawberry cupcakes. I watched, with my mouth watering, as the entries poured in. There were some truly wonderful looking cakes and cupcakes, and some brilliant children’s entries. A few weeks back, whilst I was away caring for my Stepmum, I was delighted...
Baby Shower Giant Cupcake
At the weekend it was my sister’s baby shower. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it as I am suffering from a nasty cold and thought it best not to share my germs! However, I did send Dale, the girls and this giant cupcake. It is a vanilla cupcake decorated with vanilla buttercream and sugar paste decorations....
Who makes your birthday cake?
A while ago I was tagged by the lovely Julie at Ice Maiden Cakes, who posed the question to fellow cake makers “Who makes your birthday cake?” Baking has long been a tradition in our family with my Mum, Grandma and Great Grandma all being fabulous bakers and that is certainly where I got my...
July Bake It! Club
Roll call! So, who has managed a bit of baking this month? I only gave you a couple of weeks this month to get baking so I hope I gave you enough time. I have already seen some yummy looking lemon squares on some blogs but I’m hoping to see lots more! Don’t forget to add...
