Giant Chocolate Cupcake

Giant Chocolate Cupcake

March 2012 Made for an 8-year-old girl who likes pink and chocolate. Looks a bit like one of those bathing hats that ladies of a certain age tend to wear at the pool doesn't it? :)

Sewing Box Cake

Sewing Box Cake

Based on a cake photo on here by SweetHope - nowhere near as professional looking but I'm still rather proud of it. Hubby pitched in - he's responsible for the thimble and buttons.

Pretty In Pink - Parcels And Ribbons Cake

Pretty In Pink - Parcels And Ribbons Cake

Second attempt at this pretty cake. I prefer this more girlie colour and gave it a good going over with lustre dust for extra girlieness. My bow has improved - still a work in progress.

Cat And Dog In A Basket

Cat And Dog In A Basket

Chocolate chip sponge, covered in fondant with fondant models. Groovy number sparklers - shame I don't have a photo of them lit. For the basket weave, I rolled the fondant out onto a foam garden kneeler I found in Sainsbury's - bought purely for its texture and used only for icing - hasn't been knelt on in a garden!

50Th Birthday Cake For A Theatre Lover

50Th Birthday Cake For A Theatre Lover

Made for a friend who is part of a local theatre group. It was my husband who suggested the theme and after a quick search of this fabulous site, I decided to base it on a cake by Emmar308 http://cakecentral.com//gallery/1938325 and the masks from a cake by Benja http://cakecentral.com//gallery/1989069 . Haven't got the hang of pleating fondant so went for flat fondant with long thin sausages to mimic the curtain folds. After adding the top part of the curtain I noticed that it would have worked better with the sausages underneath the fondant - it's all a learning curve.

Iphone Cake

Iphone Cake

30th Birthday cake for a lady who works for '3'. Tried to make the large numerals match the '3' logo styling. Birthday was on the 22nd so that's the date on the calendar app. The rest are just random popular apps, the bottom line of 'apps' I borrowed from someone else's cake image I found while trawling the Internet at work but can't seem to find again now to give credit - please let me know if you spot it. Cake is a Madeira in three layers sandwiched with buttercream and jam. Board is covered with a cream/peach layer of fondant to look like draped fabric.

Soccer Ball (Football) And Scarf Cake

Soccer Ball (Football) And Scarf Cake

Made using Wilton's ball pan with fondant cut using the templates in the packaging. After the first round of hexagons/pentagon, the shapes needed to be stretched out further to fit the gaps which was a bit disappointing. If I do another one, I'll try cutting them just a little larger to see if that helps. Still, good thing about the scarf is as well as personalising it to the cakee, it hides a multitude of sins for the caker.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Shirt - 60Th Birthday

Tottenham Hotspur Football Shirt - 60Th Birthday

Made from 2 x 10-inch square cakes, 2?-inch strip cut from one side then cut at an angle to make the sleeves (leaving enough for a small square cake each for my husband and I to have with a cup of tea once I was finished - for quality control purposes obviously. Covered in white fondant with navy fondant accents. The front logo was transferred by tracing onto clear plastic with a marker pen, flipping it over and painting the outline in reverse with gel-paste colour (not very easy because it was basically a liquid going onto a waterproof backing so didn't behave itself) then flipping it back and laying on top of the cake (a real 'death or glory' moment - if I'd dropped it or wiggled it, there would have been a lot of tears and another covering of white fondant to start again). Luckily it landed in the right spot first time and gave enough of an outline for me to paint the detail using thinned out gel-paste colouring.

Fish Cake

Fish Cake

Too big for any cake drum I had on hand so used the biggest tea tray I had, cut a piece of card from a box to fit the inside, covered it in foil and then in fondant marbled from various shades of blue and white. Inscription went a little wonky in places. I'd given everything a coat of thinned down glucose syrup to make it look shiny which also made everything very sticky. Once a letter was in place, it was there forever!
