Happy New Year

I've just finished putting away all the Christmas bits and bobs away. 

Trying now to catch up on lots of admin and paperwork - not my most favourite thing to do.



I'm also busy thinking about the forthcoming wedding season.  I've already had lots of enquiries and quotes. 


I'm also busying designing some new wedding cakes for the 2012/2013 season - so watch this space.

Here are just a few of my favourite cakes for a variety of reasons from 2011.

Recent Cakes

Here are some recent cakes - as usual a huge variety.

Some for the boys - a couple of 18th birthdays.

Always a hit with young kids.

A classic Golden Wedding cake.

An 80th cake so someone who loves gold, bowls and plays whist.

A Fencing cake for an 11th birthday.

Fabulous Festive Workshops

Just had another fabulous workshop this morning.  It was a Christmas Cake Decorating Workshop, where the ladies learnt how to marzipan and ice their own fruitcakes.  We then made some simple festive decorations to adorn their cakes.  It was a lovely relaxing morning and I think the ladies enjoyed it as much as me.  I didnt realise how much I would enjoy teaching people sugarcraft skills.
I must remember to take my camera next time so I can show some of their fabulous cakes.
I have a couple of spaces for my workshop this Saturday 10th Dec - please email me if you're interested.

Are you ready for Christmas

Christmas is coming - have you ordered your Christmas Cake yet?

Crazy4Cakes has a selection of Christmas Cakes available. 
Each rich traditional fruitcake is handmade and uses quality ingredients, the fruit is steeped in French Brandy before cooking aswell as a good dose before icing.  We use local eggs and flour in the cakes which come in a range of designs and sizes.



3" square (feeds approx 9) - ideal as a gift or hamper.
4" square (feeds approx 16) - ideal for those who don't want too much cake
6" round (feeds approx 25) - ideal for families or those who just love cake.

Just let us know if you would like a different size or design or requirement.  I regularly make special orders for those who don't like mixed peel or marzipan. 


 Also if you're not a big fan of the traditional fruitcake - why not try a white fruitcake which uses apricots, pineapples to give a lighter, tropical taste.

We also lovingly handmake our own mincemeat and mince pies.

Have a look at our seasonal gallery or contact Emma for more information.

Bob The Builder Theme

Bob the Builder is an ideal theme for any little boy or girl's birthday cake. This madeira sponge was decorated with 3D Bob the Builder and Pilchard characters.

But for something extra special - why not have matching cookies.

These shortbread cookies were decorated as Bob and Pilchard and put into a gift bag to give to guests.
