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.
