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.
I made this cake for my friends parents Ruby Wedding Anniversary. She must have looked crazy, taking pictures of the caravan in the garden. I made the models look like them and their dog. My boyfriend made deck chairs, he very kindly remade them when I discovered the first set were to high for the models legs!
My Ten pin bowling cake, didn’t quite go to plan. I learnt quite a bit making this one, but mainly a simple pose for sugar models is better. I spent too much time trying to get the model into a bowling pose but she started to crumble at the knees. I had made pieces in advance and allowed them to dry.
This Thomas Cake nearly got smashed with a rolling pin. It was not going well, I had to pull all the icing off and reshape the cake and start again. I’m really glad I did, sometimes you have too. I should have realized a Thomas the Tank Engine Cake was not easy. Thomas has been around for a really long time and internet searches didn’t bring up many good Thomas Cakes. Should have just made it my way instead of referring to the old Debbie Brown book. I ended up with 50% more cake than I needed, that made the children happy.
