Baby Shower Gift Basket Cake

Here's a cake we created for a baby shower. The mum to be doesn't know the sex of her baby, so we incorporated pink and blue items. 

The cake is a double height cake iced in fondant which is made to look like a basket. This meant we had to attach strips of fondant to create the basket weave look and it took ages! The effect is amazing though, so well worth it. The cake is finished off with hand modelled items including a cute teddy bear, bib, booties, rattle etc. 

Congratulations!

Zebra Print 18th Birthday Cake

Here's a fab cake I really enjoyed making! It was a last minute request as my customer had been let down by another cake maker, and I was given free rein with the design. I decided on a funky zebra print pattern with a fab pink bow. 

My customer loved the cake, which was brilliant!

Teddy Bear's Picnic Christening Cake

Usually christening cakes are blue for a boy and pink for a girl, but not this one! This was for Darcie's christening, and she was having a Teddy Bear's Picnic theme. Her mum asked for the bears and picnic to be in chocolates and cream colours, so here is the finished cake!

All the bears are handmade from fondant. They are such fun to make!

We had a disaster during the delivery. Just as I was about to knock on the front door, a gust of wind blew the lid off the cake box, and it knocked the littlest bear off the top of the cake! Luckily he hadn't left a mark on the cake, but he suffered broken legs in the accident :-( 

I hope Darcie had a fabulous christening! xx

Baby Shower Cake

One of my brides from August contacted me and asked if I could make a cake for her friend's baby shower. The mum to be doesn't know whether she's having a boy or a girl, so here's a unisex baby shower cake with one pink bootie and one blue bootie. 

The cake was finished with a border of hearts in alternating blue and pink. 

Best wishes to Nicola for the safe arrival of her lovely bundle of joy xxx

Owl and Hedgehog Themed Birthday and Christening Cake and Cupcakes :)

I was contacted by Joshua's mum who asked if we could make a cake to celebrate Joshua's first birthday and his christening, and she sent me a picture of the invitations and asked if we could incorporate details from these onto the cake. 

Here's the invitation (I think it's called Happitree)...

 And here's the cake!

And some hedgehog cupcakes too :-)

Happy Birthday Joshua! :-) xx

Baby Shower Cake

This is so cute! This little baby shower cake was created for Nicole for her friend's baby shower. 

This cake is a delicious moist chocolate cake with vanilla filling, decorated in pretty pink and white fondant. with fondant bow on top. The little baby is all handmade from fondant and is possibly the cutest thing I have ever made! 

This cake is based on an image she found online. If you know who I need to credit for the inspiration cake, please let me know. I've had a look through Google Images and can't find it! 

Update! I found it! It's here www.piece-a-cake.com/
