Floral cascade cake with 90 and Jack Russell - Dec 2015

A 2 tier buttercream covered cake with lots of different coloured fondant flowers.

This one was a 90th birthday cake for a lovely lady who has a soft spot for Jack Russells so we added some toppers to reflect this.

NOTE:  These and many other toppers are available in my Etsy shop.

Black and purple wedding cake - August 2014

Flowers, birds and gold leaves made for a three tier black fondanted wedding cake.  The smaller flowers  (around 70) were taped into small sprays of 3 or 5.  Leaves were taped into sprays of 3. Larger roses were formed around polystyrene (styrofoam) balls, larger ones had wired petals around the outside.  I also made wired hydrangea sprays and small petunia flowers  for the cake.  Sorry, not many photos.

I only made the decorations so didn't see finished cake, hopefully there are photos to follow though.

Wired rose, just steamed.

The groom's design.  Gorgeous.

Hope the wedding was wonderful.  Congratulations!

Update:  Here's a photo from the groom of the finished cake.  Sounds like they had a fab time and enjoyed the cake.  Happy days to you both. x

Macmillan coffee morning cake - September 2013

Chocolate fudge sponge with vanilla buttercream.

Bit annoyed with myself as used a very tasty, but slightly unstable sponge and forgot  (it was 1am and had been a long day) to use some dark choc ganache as a crumb coating around the outside to stabilise the cake before I put fondant on it.  As you can see the cake settled a bit overnight as a result.  Doh!

Nevermind, I'll remember next time!

Currently up for auction to raise money for Macmillan Nurses.  Hopefully it'll make a few extra £'s.
