This amazing cake was created last week for a lovely couples 25th Wedding Anniversary party. They do a lot of walking with their dog Minty who loves to chase squirrels and this is what the bespoke cake design is based upon. This beautiful cake topper is actually sat on a cake board so it could be removed before the cake was cut and saved as a memento of their special day.
These hand-made figures are sat on a log which was based around a photograph that was supplied to me when the cake order was placed.
This is their cute little West Highland terrier called Minty which is roughly around 1½ inch wide and 1 inch high. He is eyeing up the squirrel which is even smaller than Minty and holding an acorn.
Around the actual cake a meadow was hand-painted with edible food colouring featuring daisies, butterflies, dragonflies and ladybirds surrounded by bright green grass.
When designing and creating cakes it’s best to make sure the cake decorating looks good from all angles – even behind.
The result of all this hard and enjoyable work was a cake I was very proud of and was just what the couple had in mind – and they loved it.
This kind of cake decoration could be applied to wedding cakes as well as all the other varieties of celebration cakes too.

I was asked to create this wonderful 3 tier Birthday cake with a little lady perched on the corner surrounded by the things in life she loves; football and boots, champagne, tanning lotion, lipstick and iPhone.
The middle tier is turned around 90 degrees to give space to sit the lady on and add more interest.
The finished cake is covered in pretty flowers and the handmade figure is covered in a purple petal styled dress.
All the little intricate items sat at the ladies pixie booted feet are all handmade and edible – some hand painted.
Ever wondered how long it takes to make a cake like this – well this took me around 17 hours but it was worth it.
This cake can lend itself to a wedding cake too if a groom was added or even just a flowered cake without the figure.

I was commissioned to create a cake for a lady who likes flowers and frogs (she has a lot in her pond).
The pale green background of the cake has the feel of a meadow covered in flowers in summer.
This cute little green frog sitting on the cake is the final flourish of the design.

I was really excited about creating a cake for the Wedding Cake competition at Cake International Exhibition at the NEC this month as it was the first time I have entered it. My hard work paid off as I received a Silver Award – a fantastic result.
I decided on a theme of cherubs and hearts for my entry. I loved creating these cute little cherubs with their tiny toes and hands.
They were draped in robes made from icing and tiny flowers were cut in half and attached to their shoulders then brushed with gold.
Two thirds of the cake was highly decorated with the hearts and cherubs but the other third was more simple and gently textured so the overall effect was dynamic in decor and contrast.
The more simple side used a mixture of techniques involving piping, edible lace and painted relief background.
The cake was highlighted with gold columns for the cherubs paradise, delicate roses and topped with 2 cherubs holding edible lace covered hearts.
