Hello Kitty

No Comments »

It was Taylor’s 4th birthday on Saturday, and she asked me for a Hello Kitty cake.

So this is what she got. A very pink, very girly, Hello Kitty carrot cake, frosted with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and a sugarpaste Hello Kitty.


And a few Hello Kitty Vanilla Cupcakes to go with the cake.


Sweet hey?

Little Miss Party

2 Comments »

My own ‘Little Miss’ turned 6 last week and she decided that she wanted a Little Miss Cake and Cupcakes.

Little Miss Six


So that is what she got. Or should I say that is what she designed and decorated herself. Obviously I assisted in making the flowers, balloons and Little Miss herself – but she decided on the colour scheme, the single layer chocolate cake and the placing of the decorations.

Little Miss Six Chocolate Cake


All in all very sweet and not a bad attempt for a 6 year old?

The cupcakes were simply vanilla with vanilla buttercream frosting and topped with 2″ Little Miss Cake Toppers.

Thanks for looking!

Christening/Dedication Cake

No Comments »

When asked to do this cake for one of my regular clients I was so excited!

Her 5 month old baby boy was being dedicated, and she wanted a biblical cake to mark the occasion.  This cake was just perfect – well I thought so anyway.

Noah’s Ark.

Isn’t it gorgeous?  I only did 4 animals around the front of the cake, purely because no-one sees the back of the cake, and she wanted the focus of the cake to be on the Ark, not the animals.

I loved the result.  And so did she :)

Christmas Cake & Cupcakes

2 Comments »

I decided this year to make Christmas Cakes. This was the first time I have done this, and whilst they are fairly time consuming to make (and bake), I feel that they are well worth the effort. I was lucky enough to be given my mother in laws recipe, and it is divine. Jam packed with fruit, nuts, cherries and lots of extras, it is an absolutely delicious cake.

Fruit & Nut Christmas Cake


As I have a wedding cake order for next year, I made a small cake, as a ‘taster’ for my client, but decorated it in the Christmas Theme for fun. Simple, but classy.

Vanilla Christmas Cupcakes

And then my favourite, vanilla cupcakes with white buttercream frosting and Christmas decor. SO pretty. And aqua and white for a change, with silver accents.

Merry Christmas to all of my readers, followers and clients. Thanks for all the support this year – it really has been an amazing year. I have been so blessed by all of you.

Travel safe if you are, and enjoy this special time with your families x

Christening Cake

No Comments »

Seems November is the time of the year when babies get dedicated by their parents to our God above.

Train Christening Cake

I loved how this cute Christening cake turned out.  A square Vanilla Sponge, topped with the cutest (and simplest!) train you ever did see.  Plus of course the baby’s name.  Blue, because he’s a boy, but also because he has the biggest, bluest eyes you ever did see!

And I believe it went down a treat :)

First Holy Communion Cake

1 Comment »

The first First Holy Communion Cake i’ve done. But I knew it had to be simple and stylish – and to me this cake is exactly that.

Vanilla sponge with Vanilla Buttercream frosting, coated with sugarpaste and a few accents.

And then a smaller cake to accompany it – similar decor but different.

Loved how these both turned out.

Garden Cake

2 Comments »

I recently had a request for a cake for a little girl turning 7 and who was having a “Garden Party’. She did not want the cake covered in sugarpaste, because it was too sweet.

So i decided that simple cake with green buttercream frosting, lots of bugs, bees and flowers would be perfect for her.

This was the outcome.  And I’m pleased to say that she was delighted with it. Yay!

I love the contrast of the pink & green, and also the cute No 7 caterpillar. And just because I had extra cupcakes over from another order, I made a Garden Cupcake too – cute huh?

And with that i’m off to work in my garden!

Happy Weekend all x

80th Birthday Cake

1 Comment »

I recently had the priviledge of baking a cake for a very distinguished lady.  She is a lady in every sense of the word, and when her daughter-in-law asked me to bake her 80th birthday cake, I was thrilled.  And I knew that it had to be a beautifully simple, but classy cake.

This is the result.  Vanilla sponge with caramel filling.  A sugarpaste coating and then a single ivory sugarpaste rose, with a trail of ivory dragees.  And a no 80 adorning the front of the cake.

So simple, yet oh so elegant.
