A few more cakes.....but not all of them







I have been very busy over the last couple of weeks. I've not placed all my new novelty cakes or wedding cakes on here as it is too time consuming, but I thought that you might like to see some of them. This week is busy too. I have a 3D Darth Vader Mask, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Star Wars and various other novelty cakes to make. I am going to be VERY busy!

A couple of my latest designs







I've had a steady flow of work over the last couple of weeks for Novelty Birthday Cakes and Christening Cakes.

I have posted below some of my designs, including a "black mercedes 3D car", a "Knights of the Round Table" cake and a "Dinosaur" cake.
This week sees the start of the mammoth 252 cakes for Cancer Research. I am going to be very, very busy!

Wish Cakes Wins Star Cake and Letter

Last week ended on a particularly high note for me. I had a surprise phone call telling me that I had won a £75 prize from Cakes and SugarCraft magazine.

I had submitted some of my work and a letter a few months ago and had completely forgotten that I had done this as I have been so busy. I was overwhelmed that my cakes are considered good enough to feature in this magazine. It was a lovely end to a busy week. The magazine is on sale from the end of January, so I look foward to receiving my copy!

Over Christmas....







Christmas was a very busy time for me. I produced two Wedding Cakes, along with several other Novelty cakes. I was supposed to be taking some time off, but it didn't turn out like that! 2008 was a successful year for Wish Cakes, but hopefully 2009 might be a little more profitable!

My Chocolate Wedding cake creation was decorated with handmade Belgium chocolate. I think the design works quite well!



I was also asked to create an "In the Night Garden" cake. Although this is very simple in design, I think the colours work really well and my customer certainly was very pleased.

Wedding Cake


This is one of my latest creations in my Wedding Cake Portfolio.

It is a two tier madeira cake covered in blue blossoms. This is quite a contemporary and new style for wedding cakes. If you are looking for something different and simple, then perhaps this is could be the style for you?

My customer was absolutely over the moon with it. She wrote a fantastic testimonial.

A BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR MY SPECIAL MUM... 60 ON HALLOWEEN



My mum celebrated her 60th Birthday on 31st October. Last year's cake was an Enchanted Tree with a witch on the top! Knowing that a cake similar to that would be a bit below the belt, I embarked on making a 3D gnome. My mum has a staggering amount of these little fellows in her garden, and has now created a "Pixie Garden" which the grandchildren love. I am afraid I do not share this same passion!

As we had organised a party for her, I thought it best that she had two cakes, one, being the Gnome for her actually birthday and another for the party. She loves pink and flowers, so I created this delicate and feminine cake for all the party goers. We had a fantastic time and danced the night away (mainly to Cliff Richard songs urgh!).








ONE OF MY LATEST CREATIONS...


A customer called and asked for a James Bond theme cake. This is for her daughter's 21st Birthday Party. The colour schemes are black, gold and diamonds. After a little thought, I came up with this idea. The high heeled shoes (all edible) on the cake are an added bonus, not only being elegant (like the Bond Girls), but also the birthday girl had asked for a pair of "Jimmy Choo" shoes, so it was perfect!
