Hello everyone. Just completed this fantastic 1st rosette birthday cake for Emma who likes horses and likes to win too.

1st Rosette Birthday Cake

It’s been created in pastel blues, yellows, and greens with pretty flowers around the base (she doesn’t like pink but the cake still looks pretty).

Rosette Detail

Fortunately I had a rosette in the house to model this from. My husband came first in a classic car show with his Rover P6 and it’s usually hung up on his computer. It is always a great help if you have an actual item in front of you that you are making so you can see all the details and shape from every angle – obviously if you were modelling something like a horse this wouldn’t apply….lol.

Rosette Happy Birthday Cake

After creating the ribbons and rosette in modelling paste the cake was completed by piping 1st Emma and Happy 11th Birthday… and the cake was absolutely loved by the little lady.

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.

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.

This is the reverse of the blue pink flowered handbag cake that I created for a demonstration I was giving. As I explained before it is double sided in order for me to have more techniques to show to everyone.

As usual, when I am creating my designs, I like to try something a little different from the norm.

When decorating my cakes I like to use as little cutters as possible. Sometimes, when using the cutters, I try to make something out of them that they were not originally intended for.

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.

Now the clocks have sprung forward an hour and we’re on the way to Easter I had an idea to create some seasonal little cup cakes. These delicate miniature daffodils are scattered everywhere in my garden and I thought they would be perfect for the top of the cup cakes.

Each flower is individually hand made and placed on top of a beautifully moist vanilla sponge cup cake.

These delightful cupcakes are ideal for an Easter Day party and are priced at £3.00 each, minimum quantity 12. Please  contact me if you would like to place an order.

I know that daisies aren’t strictly a spring flower but I thought this soft yellow colour and daisy flower shape would be a perfect finishing touch to a small Easter Sunday lunch I have planned.
