Na na na na na na na na........ Batman! This was almost going to be a Storm Trooper cake but James had a change of heart (he realised Storm Troopers are scary) so Batman and Robin it was.

Red velvet cakes
Having never made red velvet cake I thought I'd give it a go on two occasions recently. I started with a triple layered version (delicious) and then experimented with cupcakes too. I'm please to report both were bloomin' lovely - especially with the meringue style frosting!
50th birthday book cake
Russell recently celebrated his 50th birthday and as he's in the process of writing a book his colleagues thought this would make a great theme for his cake.
Despicable Me cake
'Despicable Me' became 'Despicable Jamie' for the benefit of a certain little man's 2nd birthday. He was particularly keen on the Minions!

Seaside cupcakes
My cousin was enjoying a day out with the girls at the seaside and thought she'd ask me to make some appropriate cupcakes to indulge in while they were there
Nemo (finally)
After all the childrens cakes I've created over the past couple of years, I was finally asked to create a Nemo cake for little Poppy. Love the film and loved making this!
2011 Rotherfield fayre
I had great fun at the Rotherfield fayre again back in November. I even had someone helping out (I think my Mum wanted to play shop keeper!). Pops was pretty helpful too - taking a dash home to pick up supplies I'd managed to leave behind!

Farm cake take 2
Ever since I did a farm cake for my niece I've wanted to do another one and I finally got the chance for Isabella's 1st birthday. The only additional request was for a black dog to feature somewhere as her grandparents have 3 that she loves.
Halloween again
Jamie & his friends had a Halloween party again this year so I put some more cupcakes together for them (& the mum's!)
Mario cake
I've wanted to do a Mario cake for ages and as Ollie is a fan I finally had an excuse for his 8th birthday.
Baby boy cupcakes
My cousin & his wife welcomed their new baby Jack to the world in September so I popped round with these for them to munch on.
Wonky cake
I was asked to do my first Wonky cake in September for Dawn's 50th birthday. I loved the red & white theme too.
Tangled birthday cake
Tiana is a big fan of all the Disney princesses and loves the film 'Tangled' so this was the perfect choice for her 4th birthday.
Fresh roses wedding cake
Fresh red roses, 4 flavours of cake and sugar pearls were called for on this wedding cake for Lisa & Bob's Brighton nuptials.
Snowboarding wedding cake
Tim and Lucy wanted something a bit different, but they still wanted their cake to resemble a wedding cake when they got married in September. They settled on a snowboarding theme. My brief was 'include as much comedy as possible' and 'I like seeing skiers on their faces'.

Christening cake
It was Oscar's Christening this weekend and I had the honour of making his cake for the lovely garden party afterwards (and matching cupcakes!)

Jungle cake
I've wanted to do one of these for ages so when my favourite Godson turned 1 it seemed like a brilliant excuse! I loved making the monkey with his banana and the snake in the tree. The other kids at the party seemed to enjoy it too ;0)
Minnie Mouse relaxing cake
Last year it was the Fairy Forest for Suri. For her 2nd birthday this year it was Minnie Mouse. I wonder what next year will bring her...
Christening cupcakes
I believe these cupcakes were a gift from the 'to be' Godmother this weekend. The pretty pinks, white & glitter made a good combination for these.
Train 1st birthday cake
For Noah's 1st birthday we thought a train would make a lovely cake. I'm sure the other children were pleased to see the train delivering smarties to the party too!

Hello Kitty cake
I'd never done a Hello Kitty cake before so I was really pleased to be asked to make this one for Sian's 6th birthday.

Garden party cupcakes
Enid has just turned 80 and her family celebrated with a lovely garden party in the sunshine. Cupcakes were really fitting for the occasion and a giant cupcake was just the answer for something to pop a candle in and cut!

Waybuloo cake
It was my Niece Lacey's first birthday and I had great fun making this colourful creation for her party.

Cake pops
Cake pops are a great way of using up left over sponge when you've had to carve a cake into shape. I'm not sure if I was more pleased with my DIY efforts in making the stand though!
Beach 40th cake
I was asked to do a 40th cake for Lou who had celebrated her birthday with a trip to the Maldives. I enjoyed coming up with a way to do the sand on this one - coloured sugar seemed to do the trick!
Temple Island wedding cake
Chelsea had chosen the beautiful Temple Island in Henley for her wedding earlier this month. She wanted something a bit different for her cake so settled on the Temple being the top tier. The addition of the lavender, which can be found all over the island, just lifted the other tiers.

Mystery Machine cake
Leonie's favourite TV show is Scooby Doo which meant that the Mystery Machine was a great choice for her 6th birthday cake.

Superhero cupcakes
Bodhi loves his superhero's so for his 5th birthday I created a selection of cupcakes - Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Ben 10.
Black & pink cupcakes
There's something stylish, yet pretty about these black and pink cupcakes. They were for Hannah's birthday and I hear they hit the spot!

50th Birthday cake
I had fun making this one for Sue. She's into her gadgets so there's her iPhone & her e-book reader. You've got to enjoy a glass of wine on your birthday too!

DIY cake
Keith celebrated his 70th with his family over the Easter weekend and I created this cake for the party. It was great to be able to get the personal touch in this one with the jobs list!
Yet another In the Night Garden cake!
Clearly this is a favourite with the little 'uns at the moment! Another In The Night Garden cake, this time for little Eva who recently turned 2.
Horse racing cake
The recipient of this one loves the 'gee gees' so it was good to make him a horse racing themed cake for his 60th birthday

Good luck cupcakes
I had free reign over what to do for these cupcakes for someone that was moving to pastures new in her job. I liked this colour scheme and mixing up the words and the birds.

18th Birthday cake
Pretty pinks and browns make up this 18th cake for Paige. For a while I wasn't sure how it was all going to tie together, but I was really pleased with how it turned out.
