Alison and Scott's wedding

The couple got married at Silchester House, a lovely place near Reading. The reception was in a marquee, hence the yellow glow from the photo! The cake was a simple ivory covered cake, with a fabric effect and enhanced with flowers by my sister-in-law Gillian, at Daffogils. The cake was chocolate sponge on the bottom, carrot cake then vanilla sponge perched on top.

Is it a laptop or a cake?

This was a challenging cake!! And the challenge was set by my boss, so I couldn't fail. The bottom part is a white and dark chocolate brownie, with an edible photo of Nigel's son, Christopher, favourite computer game.

Ben's first birthday cake



Ben was the star of this cake with an edible picture of him in the middle of a sun for his first birthday cake. It was a moist carrot cake with orange buttercream filling which went down very well - especially after a few glasses of wine and a BBQ - for the 30 guests attending.






Alexa's Christening cake



Alexa's mum is a wonderful friend who I used to work with in London, and since Alice has had a daughter the girlie side of her has really come out. So when Alice requested booties and fairies, I had to give her booties and fairies, and the fairy even has a glitter edged skirt! Awww, how cute is that?
