Cake Decorating Classes

I’ve just finished teaching classes for this term and won’t be back at it again until next year as there’s just 10 weeks left until our new baby is born. Over the next term I’ll be practicing cupcake techniques and trying new icing recipes so that I can introduce cupcakes into my classes. I also have some new wedding cake ideas that I want to try out. A big thanks to the lovely ladies who took part in my classes over the last 12 months. It’s been a great experience.

Left 4 Dead Health Pack

My son recently turned 18 and I made this cake for him. It’s made from white chocolate mud cake with white chocolate ganache.  I even included a zombie thumb.

 

Cake for Triplets 18th Birthday

I made this cake a few months ago. Right before morning sickness hit me full on. I love the way it works so well together for 2 boys and a girl.

 

Exploding Stars Cake

Chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache, made for a clients 50th birthday. Made from the Planet Cake Book.

Sugar Flowers

I’ve been really busy over the last couple of weeks working on my sugar flowers so I have some photos up on my website. The sugar flower course that I’ve been running in Doveton has been going great and has two weeks left to go. Pop me an email if you’re interested in attending next term. My favourite flower is definitely the pink Tulip but I love the way the Jasmines turned out too. I can’t wait to have a cake to use them on.

M&M’s Cake

I loved the way this cake turned out. To get the bright colours I hand-painted the m&m’s with vodka and food colouring. I definitely need an airbrush and hope to have one before the next cake. Another white chocolate mudcake with white chocolate ganache, it seems to be very popular.

 

Skull and Crossbones Cake

 

 

 

 

This cake was made for the 10 year old son of some great clients of mine. The skull was white chocolate mudcake and the bones were caramel mudcake, both with white chocolate ganache. Other cakes I’ve made for this family are the Betty Boop Cake and the Skateboard Cake.

Indian Henna Tattoo Cake

Inspired by Indian Henna Tattoos I made this cake for my own birthday.

Angelina Ballerina Cake

I loved making this cake for my daughter. She has recently discovered Angelina Ballerina and didn’t want a butterfly cake, which is what I’d been planning on making her.

The Angelina figure is made from gumpaste. I got the inspiration from Cake Bosses Coney Island Freaks cake and the hand-painting inspiration from Neviepiescakes photostream, who does amazing hand-painting on her cakes.

 

 

 

Ben 10 Cake

My youngest little man turned 5 last week and this is the cake I made him. His birthday being so close to Christmas he sometimes doesn’t get such a great cake but I really tried to make the effort this year. The inspiration for this cake came from this flickr photo. The bottom tier was white chocolate mud cake with white chocolate ganache, the top tier was vanilla cake with white chocolate ganache.
