I learnt how the piping techniques used on this cake at college. It gives a very elegant finish to the cake.

Baby shower cupcakes
These cute little baby faces were very fun to create!
Lemon and elderflower
Having been chosen for the upcoming royal wedding cake, I had to give these flavours a try. The result was refreshingly spring feeling (despite the unseasonal weather here!).
Cupcakes
I have been experimenting with Easter designs. These are the Easter cupcakes I am offering this year.
Chocolate with buttercream and choc decorations
Vanilla with buttercream with handmade fondant decorations
Top gear and Ale themed cake
This is a dark chocolate cake covered in fondant. The cake board is also covered in fondant which I have given a wood effect with an impression and painting with food colouring.
The pumps have edible beer labels! The flags are sugar modelling paste to allow the curve to stay in place. Each black square is fondant cut and stuck in place. The only part that is not edible is the ribbon!
Black and silver marble cake
This cake was made for my brother. My starting point for the idea was the night sky, he was always interested in space when we were kids.
I added edible real silver leaf to give the cake a little something extra special.
Caramel drip cake with fresh fruit
This cake made gave my kitchen a delicious smell of caramel whilst baking. Then came making the toffee, yum! And the caramel sauce, and the fruit…. it was definitely all about the flavours for this cake.
Cupcakes
I have always enjoyed making and eating excessive amounts of cupcakes. A bonus of this habit is that I have already discovered the best (in my opinion) cupcake recipes to use for my business.
What is new to me is decorating them with Russian piping. They take some getting used to but the flowers look lovely. I finished them off with cute little piped green leaves.
This set is for Mother’s Day and is priced at £10 for a box of 6.
Prices of cakes
Each cake is unique and therefore the prices of my cakes do vary.
The price is based cost of ingredients and how many hours of work are needed to create it. I will happily provide you with a quote for your cake before you decide to order.
A 7″ round iced cake starts at £42
The Gold Drip Cake
I had a lot of fun making this beautiful cake. Gold and sparkles can be few and far between in my house full of boys so this was a refreshing design to play with. I just cannot wait until I am asked to make a Unicorn cake!
The gold drip is hand painted using a wonderful edible gold dust. It has to be seen.
Here are some cake-in-progress shots.
