Wedding Fair - Stan Hill Court, Gatwick..

I have been busy getting ready for a wedding fair which was at Satn Hill Court, Gatwick. I had a wider selection of cake ideas from funky to traditional, but with colour!

Soo here are the photos of the cakes that I did and hope you all like them..

 Here is my table at the venue. I also had samle pack for anyone who was interested...


The lace dress cake with floating tiers. Love making this. I have used lace moulds and flower cutters. This cake was inspired by a lovely wedding dress I saw.


A retro style cake made using Karen Davies's brooch moulds and ruffle flowers.


A classic birdcage cake for brides who like to have a quite traditional cake.


A simply stunning peony and bling double height cake.


Another quite traditional cake with a seperator and a flower in it. All hand made sugar orchids.


Here is a cake with the bride and groom. I used the billowing technique on the bottom tier and buttons made out of paste using a mould, used in between.


I displayed the bauble cakes on a cupcake stand. And I added some cupcakes, to show that they can use cupcakes instgead of baubles too.


Here is a closeup of the bauble cakes.

Hellooooo Again!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been here for a while. Hope you all had a great summer holidays. I was away during the holidays, so here are some of the cakes that I did before that.

I got an order tomake a beehive cake. Straight away the wonder mould / tiffin tin came to my mind. As I had the wonder mould, I used it to make the beehive. I cut the cake into 4 pieces and rounded the edges one by one and stacked them using buttercream and jam. Here is a close up of the stacked cake.


Here is the decorated cake.

This one was for a gents 80th, who loves going on his exercise bike every morning.


A cake for a Ruby Anniversary.


My eldest son had a pool party this year. So I made pool cake for him. Really enjoyed making it and he loved it too!


And a very quick for a grandmother......
