Minion Birthday Cake

Here's a funky Minion cake we created for a recent birthday. Everything is edible :)

70th Birthday Cake

Here's a cake for a 70th birthday. Our brief was it must be pink, silver and feature the birthday girl's favourite activities - knitting, kindle and bingo!

We love creating cakes that are personal to you or the recipient and is the reason people choose a bespoke cake from us. 

Vintage Birds/Bunting Birthday Cake - My Baby's 1st Birthday Cake!

This is my baby girl's birthday cake. She turned 1 on 12 April - how quickly this last year has gone! I spent my own birthday ganaching her cake with white chocolate ganache flavoured with lemon, and the next day decorating her cake. Surely that's not right?! I spent my birthday last year hoping I wouldn't go into labour! Hehe. 

I went for a vintage/shabby chic look for Holly's cake, as I love it! Not sure about Holly, but she certainly loved her cake. We put her in the high chair and gave her the top tier to "play with" - cue one very sticky, cake-covered baby! I'll have to try and get some photos of her and her cake, but in the mean time here are some of the cake.

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!

The whole thing is edible, including the rosette :)

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

Three Tier Owl Birthday Cake

This was my own birthday cake which I finally got to make this weekend (only six months late hehe). When it was my actual birthday I was 41 weeks pregnant and had my daughter two days later, so wasn't really in the best frame of mind for baking!!

It's a gluten free lemon cake iced in fondant and then finished with a cute owl design. 

Happy Birthday to me! xx

Navy and Ivory Blossom Wedding Cupcake Tower

Here's a cupcake tower we delivered the other week to Tankersley Manor Hotel at Barnsley. Took my whole family on the delivery (haha!) and while I was setting up the tower, my hubby sat in the car with our baby and saw the West Brom players! Apparently H was less than impressed with the likes of Ben Foster though.

The top of this cake tower was baked by the groom's mum and was a rich fruit cake, which I marzipanned and decorated to match their scheme. The cupcakes had a singe navy blue blossom on, and were encased in a beautiful butterfly wrapper.

Gorgeous!

Cadbury's purple wedding cupcake tower

Here's a wedding cupcake tower I created for Claire and her hubby last week. Delivery was to the Hey Green Hotel in Marsden, Huddersfield (and I have to say a massive thank you to Alex, the wedding coordinator there. He stopped me from crashing my car into a wall!!).

Cupcakes were a mix of chocolate and vanilla, with the top cake being a gluten free lemon sponge. The chocolate cupcakes were iced with purple frosting and had beautiful butterfly wrappers distinguishing them from the vanilla ones. Each cupcake was topped with an edible butterfly.

The top cake had a topper on which the bride supplied, but looked brilliant!

Congratulations to Claire and her new hubby xx

Peppa Pig and George Birthday Cake

Here's a cake we made for Scarlett, who loves jumping in muddy puddles like Peppa! 

Hand modelled characters of Peppa and George sitting in a muddy puddle are on the top of the cake, as is a little duck pond with cute little ducks. 

Scarlett's age is laid out in daisies with hand piped centres, with her name on pink discs then the letters hand piped on.

 Happy Birthday Scarlett! x

Two Tier Pink 21st Birthday Cake

Here's a two tier birthday cake we did last week for Naomi's 21st birthday. The top tier was lemon sponge cake with lemon filling and the bottom was vanilla cake with vanilla filling and strawberry preserve. 

The bottom tier was decorated with hearts, and the top with stripes of pink fondant. 

The top tier was finished with a spray of pink hearts and we piped a message onto the cake for Naomi.

The cake survived me driving it to Barnsley, which is a fair old way from little ol' Jo's Cakes HQ!! Thanks for looking x

Horse/Pony Themed Birthday Cake

Macey loves horses and ponies - what little girl doesn't? I know I did as a youngster! Macey's mum asked if I could create a cake for her birthday with a modelled pony on, and this is what I did. It's based on a cake she found online here (I'm not sure of who the baker is of the original) and is delicious vanilla sponge decorated with fondant.

Two Tier Princess Castle Birthday Cake

Here's a two tier birthday cake we made for Emilie's birthday. It's a version of one we made earlier in the year but Emilie's mum asked if we could include a sleeping angel figure as she calls Emilie her little angel :)

The top tier has a hand modelled fairy princess castle as a topper topped with a bit of sparkly lustre dust, and the bottom tier has sugar butterflies and blossoms on. 

Thanks for looking! x

Pastel Pink Funky 1st Birthday Cake

It finally happened - someone requested a girly version of our popular tiered 1st birthday cake! I love doing these cakes, but the ones I've done have been mainly for boys so I was thrilled to get the chance to do a super girly version. 

I made a number 1 from icing to sit on the top of the cake. 

Inside was a delicious vanilla cake with vanilla filling and strawberry preserve - yum yum! 

Thanks for looking xx

Zebra Print Wonky 18th Birthday Cake

This is a version of one of the first wonky cakes I ever did, and every time I get asked to make it I love doing it. I'd have loved a cake like this for my 18th (many many moons ago now!). Two tiers of vanilla cake carved into the classic wonky shape with zebra print sugarpaste/fondant icing decoration, finished with ostrich feathers and a sparkly diamante number. 

I had a message from Amie's mum to let me know she loved it, which was lovely  ~ "Thanks so much Jo the cake is beautiful Amie loves it x". I hope Amie had a brilliant 18th birthday, and not too much of a hangover the day after! xx

Giant Cupcake in Pinks

A birthday cake with a difference, this giant cupcake was created for my client's mum. She loves the colour pink, so my only instruction was to make the cake with pink colours. 

Inside the cake is delicious vanilla sponge cake which is topped with pink frosting and fondant butterflies and blossoms - yum yum! x
