Need to catch up.

Wow!!! I didn't realise that it had been so long since i last updated my blog.....the months have just seemed to roll on by. So here are the cakes/cupcakes and whatever else has been keeping me occupied for the last few months, bringing me up to date with 2010.

Below is a cake i made for Christmas. It was a rich fruit cake, covered with marzipan, fondant and royal icing. There was also a surprise with this cake as the post box was a chocolate mini roll and the snowman was shaped around lindor chocolates.

These are some Christmas themed cupcakes that i made for my children to give out to their friends at school. I think i made around 80 of these and they were very time consuming but lots of fun to make. They were a huge hit with everyone.

I made the Cupcakes below for my Mums birthday, she loved them.

This cake was made for a little girl who loves horses on her 6th birthday.

I think out of all the cakes i have made this was my overall favourite. This cake was made to be auctioned off at a Children in Need fundraising event. The cupcakes were also sold at the same event and all of the proceeds went to children in Need.

Cookie Monster and Elmo cupcakes....what more can i say?

Bonfire Night.

This is the cake and cupcakes i made for Bonfire Night.

My latest creations

I had seen a few of these babies on the internet and just had to have a go at making one myself. It is made out of sugarpaste, making it totally edible (not that i could ever bring myself to eat one). Here the baby is pictured on my hand so you can see the size of it. The baby measures around 2" long.

This cake was so much fun to do. It is a welcome home B-boy themed cake for someone who had been working away for 6 months and his girlfriend wanted something special for him when he arrived home.


This was a farm themed cake for my father-in-law who loves to play farm town.

The following pictures are close ups of the cupcakes. These took a long long time to make but were definitely worth the effort.

Lego Indiana Jones cake.

Last week was my sons 6th birthday and let me tell you he is Indiana Jones mad! I decided for his cake i would go with a lego Indiana Jones theme, set in a gold mine with snakes and a bad guy. Indiana makes his escape on a runaway cart. This cake was good fun to do and my son loved it. All decorations and figures are made from fondant.
