This fantastic cake was designed for an avid Welsh Rugby Fan for his 80th Birthday party. The cake was a conglomerate of the Welsh flag, a rugby ball and some bright yellow daffodils.
First of all I moulded the rugby ball in my hands to get the correct shape and then added the stitching and other details. Next came the tricky flag; the red dragon was cut out by hand and attached to the flag which in turn was attached to the cake and finished of with an edible black pen to create the outlines.
To finish off this design was the cheerful handmade daffodils. For that extra special touch I added some cupcakes with rugby ball and daffodil detail. Some royal icing piping and the wording and voila a finished work of art.

Inspired by watching Downton Abbey and old episodes of Poirot I wanted to create a beautiful Art Deco style wedding cake. Each tier has it’s own distinct style, the top one takes it cue from 1930’s cinemas and other similar buildings, the second from flapper dress fabrics popular at the time.
The third tier takes it’s ideas from cabaret and jazz clubs and the lower tier depicts a wedding scene, complete with the happy couple, a Rolls Royce and the church on the hill.
All the fine details were hand cut out to create this unique cake. The only bought cutter used on this cake was for the dainty pink flowers around the band.

This 90th birthday cake was created for a man who used to be a captain of a Maersk tanker before he retired.
The Maersk tanker is in 3D relief so that it is deeper at the front than the back. The blue background makes the red tanker zing and stand out more.
This is a characterised version of Bas in his captains outfit that he wore everyday on this job.
The tanker has intricate piped detail to reflect the pipes and tanks on deck and the whole cake is finished off with a red and blue rope effect border.

I have used this cake design before for a Birthday celebration but this has been recreated, with a few additions, for a couple of cake decorating demonstrations for the British Sugar Guild I have this year.
This time I have tried to keep all the vegetables and fruit the correct size in relation to each other. Strawberries, tomatoes and grapes have been added this time. I have also modelled some peas in pods which are so tiny – the pods are only 10mm long this means you can work out how small the grapes are.

This Notts County shirt is based on the new 2012 kit. It was for a young mans 18th Birthday party who is potty about this football team.
The name and number have been hand cut out and all the stripes are hand rolled thin strips of icing.
The logo was hand painted and the whole cake was finished off with piped grass and a ‘Happy Birthday’ simulated brass plaque.
