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!

Birthday cake pops

Isy wanted cake pops for her 40th, so cake pops she got!

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.

50th birthday cupcakes

A box of cupcakes to help with the 50th birthday celebrations? Sounds good to me! 

Silent Edge 9th birthday cake

Silent Edge turned 9 this year and I made this one to help with the celebrations

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.

A leafy wedding cake...

I was given a 'sketch' of a design for this one by the groom and I knew not to stray too far from that! I'd estimate there are about 550-600 leaves on this, thankfully not the 2000 predicted by my husband! A beautiful design for a lovely couple - thanks Mr & Mrs O'Brien!

 

Cupcake tower

This cupcake tower was made of various pastel shades in fondant and swirls with butterflies & flowers. It was for a wedding at Buxted Park Hotel - delivering there was like de-ja-vous after our wedding there last year!

Swimming pool cake

Olivia turned 11 last week and had a pool party with her friends to celebrate. I put this cake together for them all to munch on when they'd finished swimming.

Red Nose Day 2011

We were doing our bit t raise some money for Comic Relief in the office so I made these to help encourage some donations at the buffet table

Naming Day Teddy Bear

Technically this is actually two cakes in one. Phoebe was celebrating her Naming Day and 1st Birthday together so whilst the side you see in this picture reads 'naming day', the opposite side with the other teddy bear reads '1st birthday'.

Golf cake

It seemed a little unfair that I had never made my husband a birthday cake so I stepped up for his 30th this week.

Pretty in pastles

More pretty birthday cupcakes in pastles...

Veggie patch

I was asked to make a carrot cake more interesting. I took inspiration for this one from the 'Hello Cupcake' book where they do something similar with cupcakes in rows... I love that it's still cream cheese frosting, just as it should be for carrot cake!
