Classical Music Showpiece
As part of my final/practical exam in Advanced Chocolate and Sugar, I had to create my own showpiece. I had to sketch it a few times, create a model of cardboard, make the templates and finally create all the pieces. It totals over 3 foot tall. Everything is out of a chocolate or sugar medium. I was really glad that it did not fall over!

Black Olive Pizza
I made this cake for my aunts birthday. The theme of the whole party was black olives and she wanted black olive pizza to eat. So, I made a black olive pizza!

I made this cake for my grandmothers 78th birthday. She always brought out her tea set for fun tea parties when we would visit her so I thought I would honor that great memory with this cake. The cake is a 10 round yellow cake with vanilla pastry cream, fresh strawberries, buttercream and rolled fondant. I hand-made and painted the fondant tea set and covered the round cake board with fondant and painted it. The purple pansies were hand made and then luster dusted as well as the leaves.

Quick Birthday Cake
This cake was ordered about 3 hours before it was needed. So i had to make, bake, and cool the cake, prepare the filling, fill the cake and ice it for 3 hours later, it was a true test of speed for me. It was a vanilla cake with peaches and whipped cream inside as well as a little coconut rum to brush the cake with. The icing is whipped cream and the writing is piping gel.
