Pixie chair - Spring 2016

So happy to announce that two of my cakes will be appearing as part of a feature shoot on Boho Weddings very soon. 

Watch out for a link when it goes live, meanwhile I'm now allowed to start sharing photos of the cakes.  

Take a look at my "Jasmine Rose" cake post too, which was also part of the styled shoot.

Fresh flowers and styling by the amazing Hannah Berry Flowers

These photos are of the same cake without the fresh flowers, 

but with some sugar oak leaves.  

Toadstool cake - April 2014

 Toadstool birthday cake for a little girl.

The cake was a red velvet stalk and vanilla dome, both with vanilla buttercream.

Structurally it was dowelled as per a standard two tier cake, but I used foam core as a board on the top tier (the dome) and cored it so I could add a central dowel that reached through both tiers to add strength.

I made the ladybird with sugarpaste and florist's wire (customer was warned!).

The butterfly was cut out with a standard plunger cutter, then the wings frilled using a ball tool as per flowers.

The foliage is a mixture of painting, royal icing and fondant pieces.

Another advantage of the foam core is that it gave a good white surface for the underside of the dome.  

The dome is actually a dark "hot" pink as requested by the customer.

This cake was 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!
