This week has been mainly taken up with a wedding, a communion and a Christening. The communion was a joint one and cake-wise it was perhaps the biggest cake I’ve made; two 12″ by 9″ deep Victoria sponges with raspberry jam and buttercream put together to make a huge bible to celebrate 12 children all […]
It’s been an incredibly busy few weeks, which is good, not a complaint! What I love about the cake making I do, is no two days or weeks are the same. people want such diverse things for their ideal cake I could never get bored; there’s always a new thing to do, a new challenge […]
The highlight of my week was the Waterloo Beer Festival. I always love the festivals but this was especially good. I made my biggest range of flavours so far; salted caramel, red velvet, beer-y Black Forest, Honey Blonde and ginger, Josephine Butler elderflower and lemon and Imperial Russian Stout rich fruit cake, oh, and scones with […]
Last week was a challenging but really enjoyable week. The two big cakes of the week were a caravan with decking area and a carousel Christening cake, both of which took a bit of thought and planning with regards to the construction. For the caravan, although I would have liked to have risen to […]
Can’t believe it’s been nearly 2 weeks since I last wrote a blog post! Time really has flown and there have been so many cakes between then and now! Last week was especially busy. I left teaching and thought that cake making and decorating would afford me a little more time to myself in […]

It’s been a busy week this week but not all cake related. I had a few cakes to do; a Liverpool shirt, a 50th for a maths teacher and a collaborative roller coaster cake with my lovely sis-in-law before I set off to Wimbledon for a fantastic wedding on Thursday. Straight back to it […]
I keep thinking I’ve had the busiest week ever and then it keeps getting busier! That’s not a complaint. If I’m not busy, I’m skint but this week had me starting at 7.30 and finishing after midnight a couple of times. I think the best way to illustrate how busy is to show you the […]
Always such a relief to hear from a couple that they’re delighted with their wedding cake. Here it is;
Well, that’s the wedding cake all delivered and set up in one piece and it’s always such a relief! Just need to wait on and hear that the bride and groom were happy now so I can properly relax. The venue was the Hope St Hotel and it’s gorgeous. The room where the ceremony and […]
