I managed to become a graffiti artist!
I found a website where you can make your own graffiti, that really helped, as my attempts weren’t very good. Everything started to go wrong with this cake, I couldn’t hire the tin I wanted, I forgot to buy the ribbon, it’s half term, so the children are home, etc. I was quite pleased with the finished result and so was the birthday boy.
I have finished my sectioned collar cake today. I started this well before Christmas, everybody wants Christmas Cakes in February, just as well it’s a dummy cake for college. This cake made me cry, I haven’t cried over a cake in ages. The tree fell off as I was putting it in the box, luckily it didn’t break but need to fix a present and bow on the collar. I hadn’t thought about the final cake design in ages, I just concentrated on making the component parts my design required. It was really exciting to put it all together and it looks much better than I was expecting.
I have tried to make cupcakes before and they didn’t ever look as nice as I hoped. I went to the sugarcraft club and there was a have a go demonstration for decorating cupcakes. I have made these for Grandpa, these were my first attempts. I had to make more chocolate cupcakes as they are delicious! I also made carrot cake cupcakes, but forgot to take any pictures, they disappeared very quickly.
When I saw the motorbike cake in the morning it made me say wow! I love the colour of the tank, luckily my friends mum had a pretty bike. The motorbike is a purple yamaha virago 535.
I learnt how to make unwired Roses at college recently and thought I would use my newly learnt skill on my parents Pearl Anniversary cake. I found a lovely pearl trim in my local haberdashery and used Ivory sugarpaste. How the leaves are placed gives an art deco feel to the cake combined with the pearl trim.
I made the white rose cake for my boyfriend, it is covered in marshmallow paste, which tastes amazing, it gives an amazing finish as well.
I made Three Christmas Cakes of this design. I saw the design in a book, on an oval cake, I wanted to make it for years. I was put off by the piping. But since doing a course at college, the piping was very easy to do and changed the appearance of the cut outs, giving a richer feel to the cakes.
I made three cakes of this design, two were raffled at Church and one at Preschool. The models are made from marzipan.
Airbrushed Marzipan Fruits with hand painted details. Too pretty to eat!
I am the slowest cake decorator in the world! I thought it won’t take long a couple of models, some paint splats and a bit of writing. This took ages, colouring the sugarpaste, cutting the paint splats out individually, making the curls separately. Not my usual style for a cake, but I’m really pleased with how it turned out. I’m glad my friend said no the boys when they requested the cake boss version of a paintball cake, I’d still be making it next year 
This fairy toadstool cake was for Daisy and has red hair and brown eyes just like her.
