Princess Fairytale Castle

This birthday cake was a 2 tier Madeira sponge to create any girl's dream cake - a Princess Fairytale Castle. 

Lots of sparkly pink towers and tiny red roses growing up the sides of the castle.  The handmade 3D princess were made to resemble the two little girls who were celebrating their 5th birthday. 

I had lots fun making this cake and it was rather special because one of the birthday girls is my daughter.

Ivory & Burgundy Wedding Cakes

Here are two cakes I made for a wedding at the end of November. 

The cakes were for two parties to celebrate the marriage after the event.

Both cakes were rich traditional fruitcakes and both used the colour scheme, ivory and burgundy. 

Red Calla Lilies
The first cake used a twist on the usual calla lilies by giving them matching burgundy inners.

Burgundy & Ivory Elegance
The second cake used a piped lace detail on the top tier while the bottom tier was dusted with pearl ivory to give a bit of  sparkle.

Burgundy roses with Wedding Car Topper

Its been a busy month for weddings.

This is one of the wedding cakes I made at the beginning of December.  It was a  traditional rich fruitcake ideal if any is leftover for eating over the Christmas period.

This 2 tier square stacked cake is stepped back.  The white icing has been embossed with roses.
There are edible burgundy roses to match the ribbons.

The topper is made from Artista so provides an ideal keepsake.  The couple provided me with a sample used for their invites on which to base the topper.

Snow bears Christmas Cake

This is a traditional Christmas Fruitcake which I made for my local primary school's Guess The Weight of the Cake. 

Always fun to do as I have a free rein.  I do love the Mum and baby snow bears cuddling up.

Football Birthday Cakes

I have done a couple of football themed cakes recently. 

One for an 18th birthday, a keen footballer who loves Coventry City and looking forward to a few beers on his birthday. 












The other for an 11year old who plays in goal and loves Aston Villa.

Character Birthday Cakes

Thomas the Tank Engine - a simple design that is very effective.
The 2D design is made with fondant icing so everything on the cake is edible.

A more complex 3D design with Iggle Piggle in his boat.
