Wedding cake

This cake was my very first attempt at a wedding cake!! The cake was for a best friend so I was very proud she was happy to put her trust in me!


The top layer was lemon and chocolate fudge on the bottom. The wedding was close family only so she only wanted a small cake. I did make a 'cutting' cake to be served in the evening party.









The Ystradgynlais rugby badge handmade from sugarpaste and food colouring.

Hen Party cake

The theme was black, gold and girly!!!

Winnie the Pooh

This cake was for a friend from work. It was her sons first birthday and he loves winnie the pooh!
She asked for a chocolate fudge cake with no sugarpaste.
I made the chocolate fudge cake and placed a small board on the top of the cake to hold the sugarpaste figures.

First Birthday Cake

A simple birthday cake for a little boy. Full of colours and Teddy's, what more could a one year old wish for! I made the Teddy's a couple of days in advance and did everything else when I had made the actual cake.


Everything on the cake is edible and made from sugarpaste/flowerpaste mixture. The cake itself was a vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam filling.


Ive started using my new stencils for some lettering on cakes as I think it give a professional finish, even though I'm quite happy piping writing.




This cake was for my partners cousin so I took the cake and got to sing happy birthday to the birthday boy himself!

Spiderman Cake

This was a cake based on a well known character!!! I couldnt decide what style to do, but knew I wanted to make the figure of spiderman on the top rather than doing just a mask as you see in the supermarkets.


I added blue glitter to the sides of the cake and metallic paint for the stripes on the figure.




Web with name tangled up in it. I was really happy with how the details on the figure turned out!

TOWIE Style Cake

This cake was for a hen party being celebrated in Essex, TOWIE style!! The Only Way Is Essex for anyone who doesn't know. The brief was to have a girl with long brown hair and girly products also on the cake. 
I decided to make hair straighteners, a handbag, fake tan bottle, and she had requested dumbbell's.


TOWIE is written on the side of the cake in a vaggazle style! Complete with glitter, that you cant really see on the photos. The figure also has a small heart 'Vaggazle' on her but you can really see it!


Shes placed sitting on a small white chair. Complete with false eyelashes and leopard print handbag.


You can see from this photo that I added a shimmer to the top of the cake.


I really enjoyed making this cake, hopefully get the chance to make something similar soon!
