50th Wedding Anniversary

This was a luscious marsala soaked fruit and nut cake that was for a large 50th Wedding Anniversary party, the cake cut like a dream, I was told, and everyone throughly enjoyed it. The decoration was a classic white and red roses on an ivory coverered cake, with marzipan, of course.

Cupcakes

Here are some coffee and walnut cupcakes with some lovely cute pink flowers on top, they were quite difficult to eat in one mouthful!
And these were white chocolate mudcake cupcakes, with a raspberry cream topping, although easier to eat in one mouthful, they were very rich and tasted divine.

Iona's Birthday cake

This was a cakes for one of my mother in laws friends, it was a rich fruit and nut cake, drenched in madeira, with marzipan and white sugarpaste covered in lots of sugarpaste flowers. It took a long time to get the flowers made, but i think that the end product was worth it!

Paul's Birthday

It is always more difficult designing a cake for men, however this is a great design, and since it looked like a present, it killed two birds with one stone (not really, I did buy a present as well, he would never let me get away with that!) It was my carrot cake recipe inside, he adores it, probably due to the rum-soaked raisins that make it so moist.

60th Birthday

I had a commission to create a 60th birthday cake with roses and pink icing. Girly and sophisticated, so this is the result. The cake was vanilla with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream - classic combinations.

Stephanies's Birthday cake

This was a decadent cake, orange sponge, with orange liqueur drizzle, orange marmalade and buttercream, it had the flourish of feathers on top and the crown-like sculptured gum paste below.

Juliette's 10th Birthday cake

Juliette's birthday - again!! I can't believe it has been a year, she commissioned this snow cake specially, even though it was the beginning of July. Juliette had a toboganning party, hence the snowball and snowflakes. The cake was a heart shaped chocolate cake with jam, and by all accounts it went down a storm - snowstorm that is?
