Halloween themed 50th party - October 2014
It's my gorgeous husband's 50th birthday so I persuaded him to let me throw a halloween themed party for him and set to making a raft of props and treats.
Cut out a few bats
Chopped up a couple of old books
Made some bloody candles
Cut out a few more bats
Made some alien jelly eyeballs
Unlocked Frederick from his box
Performed a vanilla and raspberry lobotomy or two
Cupcakes, obviously
Poison bottles
Test two tone cupcake
Worms in a jar (that is, strawberry laces and crumbled chocolate shortbread)
One of many sugar roses
Pom-poms galore!
More cupcakes
Party ran for 12 hours, with 3 days prep. Hubby happy, friends hugged, kids asleep, me shattered!

Bride and groom toppers - July 2014
Cute wedding set-up this week.
I didn't get much notice for the figures so I had some issues with not having time to let the pieces harden before assembly. This wasn't helped by the fact that it was very hot and humid at the time so the fondant was extra soft. Because of this I had to keep him lying down for a while as there was the risk of him slumping and becoming quite an unflattering model! I used a cone of card for her skirts, covered in fondant so she wouldn't slump. Had I had more time, I would have formed their legs / skirt at least 24 hours earlier.
Him: fondant covered poly ball head, then body formed on a dowel.
Her: fondant covered poly ball head, fondant covered cone skirt,
central dowel supporting body.
These cakes were made for The Angel Food Bakery in Brighton's iconic South Lanes, where the Cake Angels bring Cake Love to the public on a daily basis!
