Chanel Shoe Box Cake


A cake I thoroughly enjoyed making facing many challenges along the way and learning new things as well! Boy was I glad when it was finished and just wanted it to be collected before I did something to it. That's my biggest problem- I am never satisfied with any of my cakes and I just can't seem to relax until they have been collected(of course by that time I have no choice).Anyway, I took some photos along the way,I hope you enjoy looking at them.

Super Why Cake







Yes it's that time of the year again. Another year gone by so quickly and it was Yasser's birthday this week. But the thing is, when you have so many other things to organise for your own child's party,it's not possible to create such a spectacular cake(well for me anyway). You could always make the cake days ahead but personally, I like to have a freshly baked and decorated cake! Yasser turned 5 and he likes many different things at the moment but he specifically asked for a "Super why" cake..For those that aren't familiar with this character/tv programme,it's from Nick Jr and is aimed at children from ages 3- 6 and teaches critical reading skills. The characters help others in storybook village a place where fairy tale characters reside. So that's where the idea for the book shape comes from with Wyatt jumping out of it just like in the programmes.And yes the book is not a perfect shape in the programme so I have tried my best to make my cake a little wonky too! Here are some photos and Thanks for looking.

Messy Room Cake







This week I was asked to make this cake which was alot of fun to make because i think cakes should always have the'fun'element and tell a story where possible.This lad likes computers,makes websites,loves his food especially from chunky chicken,his room is always a tip, and is currently searching for a suitable wife. So I have tried to incorporate all those things.I was later asked to add a figure of his mother shouting at him to tidy up!TFL

Glow by J-Lo Gift set cake







My sister asked me to do a cake for my niece turning 20 this week.Only this week I have been rather unwell with another cold but seeing as I had promised my niece a cake this year,I couldnot let her down. There were lots of ideas I could have used for a young lady of that age with so many interests but my sister suggested that because my niece loves J-Lo and this particular perfume,I could try something with this in mind. I looked up various perfumes by J-Lo and decided after all that this would be the right one.J-lo ventured into the perfume industry with this perfume as her debut and signature scent created for women in their late teens and early twenties.So in my opinion it was the perfect choice! Here are some photos and Thanks for looking.

CHOCOLATE -MY NEW FOUND LOVE


After a recent visit to the cadbury's chocolate factory in Bourneville, I decided to experiment making my own chocolates. So after numerous (and I stress numerous) attempts I finally managed to make this shoe! It isnt as easy as they made it look but it was great fun and I will definitely keep trying and look at ways of making my own chocolates more often.

Cady's Princess Castle Cake













One of my all time favourite cakes - a castle cake for a girly girl who loves pink! This cake was an absolute joy to make despite the long hours but then again if you want to have all those details it's not a cake that you would rush to finish. I started with making the towers and turretts( I couldn't even tell you how many little fondant circles I cut for the turrets tops),then baked the cakes, allowed to cool,torted,covered with pink icing and then attached the towers.Then came the best part - finishing touches. I hand made(countless) little blossom flowers and leaves for the trailing Ivy.Then I added the flags to the tops hand painted in Gold lustre and Lastly- finished with edible glitter for that added sparkle(which doesnt show up in the photos).Here are some of the photos I took and I hope you enjoy looking at them.TFL and your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Chocolate and Blue themed cake


























I made this cake for our friend and next door neighbour Pete who was celebrating a very special birthday this weekend. Pete wanted something simple, with blue icing and very chocolaty! So keeping this in mind, I made a chocolate cake with blue icing and a shooting stars topper in silver, brown and blue colours. I always make my own modelling paste and that is what I have used for the stars. And oh yes, the buttercream filling in between the cake layers was also coloured blue for added effect! I hope it goes down well. Thanks for looking.
