Ivory & Red Rose Cupcakes

This was a stunning effect with the contrast of soft ivory and rich red buttercream rose swirls.

The vanilla cupcakes were topped with a giant cupcake with a matching bouquet of ivory and red roses.  The simplicity of this style is really effective. 


The wedding was on Saturday and the reception was held at The Cross at Kenilworth, ideal for intimate weddings.

Chemical Cupcakes

I am feeling a little nostalgic this week.  I am just finishing making an order of "Chemical Cupcakes" for a customer.  The vanilla cupcakes are to be topped with selected Chemical symbols from the Periodic table - carefully selected may I add.  Not many people know this but I was a Biomedical Scientist in a past life and this order made me think of the fun times I had in the lab.....
Which element would you pick?  My favourite is Be, Beryllium just because I like the sound of the word.

Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

This was a fabulous cake - 3 tiers of Madeira sponge iced white with hat box detail.  Lovely strong pinks, greens and black contrast with the white icing.  The hockey design was added to the middle tier to represent the birthday girls love of hockey and Hello Kitty!  The handmade sugar Hello Kitty sat on top - a very different 18th birthday cake.

Fancy Nancy Cake

I have named this cake my Fancy Nancy Cake.  It is a tiny 2" round sponge cake which was iced white with royal iced piped detail and a handmade pink rose on top.  The cake was meant as a "joke birthday" cake for someone who loves fine cuisine.  The criteria was to produce a tiny exquisite cake, hence Fancy Nancy Cake.

Harry Potter's Golden Snitch Cake

This cake was for a huge fan of Harry Potter and I had to ensure all the details were correct.  The cake was a 3D Chocolate Cake sprayed Gold with detail and writing. The wings were made from a modelling medium.
I understand that the birthday girl was delighted.

Wedding Anniversary Cakes

Not one but two wedding anniversary cakes but wanting something that wasn't traditional.  Just what I like. 

They both decided on sugar models of the happy couple, both wearing their wedding dress but one as they are now, a little greyer.  One celebrating 50 years and the other 60 years, seems a long way off for me.....we just reached 11 last year.
