Ruby Wedding Cake

Image
Emily was a bride of mine from a couple of years ago, and she recently ordered this beautiful two tier anniversary cake for her parents 40th Ruby Wedding Anniversary. The brief was a white cake with ruby red decoration with a personalised topper of her mum and dad on the top, but other than that a free reign! As the topper was so detailed I decided to keep the cake simple but elegant, with white icing with red pico dots and red ribbon with a small diamante buckle. For the topper, Emily sent me many many pictures of her mum and dad and their dog who she also wanted included on the topper, and some details of how the models should be dressed as per one of the photos. The lovely thing about the topper is that its a great keepsake as its fixed on a board on top of the cake which can be lifted off for easy keeping and will keep indefinitely as long as its kept dry. By all accounts Emily and her parents were thrilled with the cake and especially the topper!

Birthday Cake for a lover of Brockmans Gin

I've recently discovered gin but I must admit I'd never heard of Brockmans! The cake was ordered by a friend of the birthday girl, Penny on behalf of her husband. The instructions were a cake shaped like a bottle of Brockmans Gin. Now I could have tried to be very clever and made a stand up bottle, but having never made one and the fact that it had to be transported to the venue by Penny's friend I decided not to go down the added stress route and instead make a laying down bottle! As well as the bottle I thought it would be nice to add a model of the birthday girl (I have never met her so got a description from her friends) sitting on the Gin bottle, but after much thought it would be nice to make the figure a keep sake by making it entirely independent of the actual and placing the figure in a cocktail glass just for fun! Google was fab for this cake as I could easily find out the bottle details and find the labels to use with the edible printer. Edible prints are ...

Cadbury Chocolate Birthday Cake

Image
This amazing cake was lucky to get to the client. It was ordered as a birthday cake for one of my grooms birthdays by his now wife. The brief was a chocolate sponge cake edged in flakes and covered in many types of Cadbury Chocolate. The cake consisted on 35 flakes, twirls, wispas, a chocolate egg, various Cadbury buttons and mini picnics! It smelt divine and I was so good I didn't eat any of the sweets but my kids enjoyed the left overs :)

Red Rose Birthday Cake

This beautiful birthday cake was ordered for a daughter for her mum's 70th birthday. The brief was red roses, and a big red 70 on a white cake. The red roses were sugar work and off set with green rose leaves, and finished with a large 70 made using  Patchwork Cutters and finished with a red ribbon, red bow and silver diamante buckle. The birthday girl was over joyed with her cake as was her daughter!
