Latest Creations



Baking is my passion but boy can it be stressful sometimes! I recently got asked to make a Minecraft cake 3 days before the child's birthday party. Panic ensued! But once I'd drawn out my ideas and plans it was down to work.


My brief: To make a Minecraft block cake out of vanilla sponge and 8 chocolate cupcakes to go around it with the child's name and age on top.


This was the final outcome:




The block was made up of 4 layers of sponge with jam and buttercream filling.





The characters were modelled out of icing sugar and I wanted to make them completely edible so I couldn't use supporting wire of wooden sticks.





A few days later I was asked to make another birthday cake. This time a much simpler Mario cake.




This was a simple sponge cake. I made templates for the decorations and cut each part out by hand.

Birthday Time



I absolutely love birthday cake. Sponge cake with jam and butter cream filling and icing on top of course!

So as it was my birthday recently, I decided to give myself the challenge of making an Adventure Time cake; moulding some of the main characters form the show to decorate the cake with.



I was also asked tome make some cupcakes for another birthday. My brief was to make cupcakes for a man who loves gardening and his favourite cake flouvour is chocolate. This was the result.

I used crushed up Oreo biscuits to create the soil and spread Nutella on top of each cupcake before sprinkling over the biscuits.
