Golf / UFC Cake

This was a challenge from the start!!! I was asked to make a Golf/UFC cake for a leaving do. I made a cage for the UFC fighter half and a figure. The weather was not on my side and the fine misty rain of Swansea melted the figures and cage!
 I almost started from scratch but didnt have enough time. I painted the UFC logo onto the hexagon and laid the fighter across it.




The golfer managed to stay upright a little better and I stuck him to the side of the cake. I didnt manage to get good photos from all the angles!

Hen Party Cake

A friend asked me to make a hen party cake for her mother. Her mother being refined didnt like the current cakes containing the male genital parts on them!! She asked if I could contain hens and the rest was up to me!


I decided on drunken hens and give them some accessories! The one on the left is clutching a bottle of champagne with its wing over its eyes, the middle one with a wine glass and the right hand one has a handbag. I was happy with how they had turned out and thought she would be pleased with the result.



I later decided to make a small hutch for the hens and some 'L' plates. I did make a cokerel but hes hidden at the back for good reasons!

Minnie Mouse Cake

I loved making this cake as I love Disney. The request was anything Minnie mouse and PINK!! I was really happy with how the minnie mouse turned out as this was my first attempt!!
Shes made of sugarpaste and flowerpaste to ensure she stays upright.I added shimmer and spots to her dress with edible dusts. She also has a necklace and bracelet with glitter, which you cant see in the photos.
The Completed cake. Ashleigh is written around the side of the cake complete with minnie mouse spots!
 My free hand writing is improving aswell, im still not 100% happy it but Ill get there im sure!

The finished cake ready to go! I was really pleased with how it turned out and Ive decided to start making Cake Toppers to sell online. Ill keep you posted with photos.

Gardening Cake

This request was for an 87 year olds birthday who loved gardening and in particular her garden shed!
This is the first shed Ive ever made and im happy with how it turned out! The shed its self is the same as the larger cake (Sponge, swiss meringue buttercream and strawberry jam). I wrote 87 on the shed door and placed her name on the side of the shed.


Swansea City FC Cake

This was a last minute request for a Swansea City style cake for a friends birthday. I wanted to make a football pitch with the players shirts and numbers around the side of the cake but I didnt have enough time!
