I am a cake obsessive, based in West Sussex, UK.

I started off making cakes for family and friends before giving up a proper career in favour of playing with sugar full time. Having worked for two bakeries making their wedding and celebration cakes, I am now looking toward world domination with breaks for coffee and chat.

I also sell some sugarcraft items on Etsy. Please go to https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KasserinaHome?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Thanks for looking!

Simple Rainbow stacked cake with sprinkles - December 2015


Simple but effective!

Six layers of rainbow vanilla love, stacked high, covered with smoothed buttercream and showered with rainbow sprinkles... perfect.


Now, the only issue with this little lovely is that when you make a cake higher than it is wide, it tends to want a little lie down when you drive it around corners (especially when you've made it to taste this good).  

This cake had quite a way to go, so in order to make sure that the cake was safely transported I gave it a central bubble straw support to make sure that the layers didn't slide around on the buttercream.  

I also screwed a dowel into the cake drum and positioned the bubble straw and cake over it so nothing could shift during delivery.


I hadn't even got back from delivering the cake before the customer sent me this photo. It seems to have gone down well!


Hoo ha!

Lovely Laura's birthday cake - September 2014

It's Laura's birthday (I love that girl!) so what else could I bring to her party but a little cakey gift.  


A two layer vanilla 4" cake with orange and elderflower buttercream frosting and a core of blueberry and elderflower jelly in the middle.   


Happy birthday gorgeous, and happy house warming too. X
