Karate cake

And here it is....




This is the first time I've used mexican modelling paste but I followed some instructions from Sugarpaste magazine to make this karate cake topper.  I'll be making the cake tomorrow so will put the next photo up then.

Christmas Cake


I made this cake last Christmas and just found the photos so I thought I'd upload them.  I think I overfed this one a bit as it was very boozy!!

My Wedding Cake



My friend Jo made this cake for me, but I helped make the fruit cakes and she taught me how to make the flowers, so some of the ones that went on the final cake were made by myself and my mum.  I was so happy to see the whole thing put together as it was stacked on the morning of the wedding at the venue.  Beautiful cake and it tasted so good.  We used the waitrose recipe for rich fruit cake.

A 60th wedding anniversary cake for my grandparents




I made this fruit cake for my nan and grandad's wedding anniversary.  I covered it in white fondant icing and decorated it with white blossom flowers made using sugarpaste.  It went down really well, making my nan cry when she saw it!  Hopefully happy tears!!

My first cake decorating attempt

I made this cake for my God daughters christening.  I used a template from a magazine and made the pink booties well in advance.  This is a two tier madeira cake.
