This weeks cake. I was given the brief “pink and horsey” for a 13 year old ,so this is what I came up with.
Quite happy with it for my first attempt and enjoyed it as well Customers daughter loved it. The 2 cakes can be separated one for family one for party :0)

This was my first doll cake, I thought it was going to be fairly straight forward to dress but I was wrong.
The customer picked it up and was over the moon which made me feel better as I was worried she wouldn’t like it.
The doll is a full size barbie cinderella and the clothes and accessories were sent with the customer to use after wards which she bought was a lovely touch

This weekends order. A John Deere tractor cake layered and covered set on a Madeira ganached cake with piped field rows. The hay bales are mini cakes and the corn, birds and grass are icing too.
I had a lot of fun doing this cake. The edible image is father and daughter :0) the glass is isomalt

My last minute cake I wasn’t happy with it but customer was over the moon and apologised for 1 days notice lol
Before you say like others have what’s not to be happy with?
•The carved cake itself needed to be straighter
•The icing more attention
•Piping more attention
•I wanted to put a pattern on the handbag but ran out of time
•board covered and name mounted on scroll plaque

The cake was cooked the night before and carved crumb coated, filled, levelled, icing coloured, iced and decorations made in 4 hours that’s with a 6 year old and 1 year old hanging off me :-/

This was the first and last cake I do as a favour last minute!

This is my 12 inch Moshi Monster cake on a huge 16 inch board.
All is hand made and icing hand coloured (yes aching hands)
The cake is filled with buttercream and raspberry jam.
The feet and eye are also mini cake filled and covered.
I had a lot of fun creating this cake I didn’t want it just to be flat hence the raised parts.

This is my weekends cake.
I was really looking forward doing it and had everything down the last detail mapped out to do and when. That all went to pot i ended up in A&E (my 20 month old ran into a radiator and split her lip open) and cake only just got finished and delivered at 10:30pm last night 2 1/2 hours later than it should of.
I didn’t have time to do everything I wanted on it but my customer was really happy with it the way it was and her daughter was over the moon when she woke up this morning
This was the first time I’d made any models from RKT and really enjoyed it
If you think I’ve done a good job or not please let me know I value all your opinions

I have loved making this cake start to finish.
The planning gathering equip everything.
It is a vanilla carved sponge with raspberry jam and butter cream.
Covered in white covapaste and airbrushed metalic blue.
All the extras such as handles mirror are all hand made out of flowerpaste and then painted.
The windows, mirrors and headlights are filled with clear isomalt so look like glass

This was the first cake I had been asked to do where I really didnt like it or want to do it.
I left it to the last minute but once I started on it I really enjoyed it.
There was something about painting on it by hand that made it all come alive.
I don’t have a steady enough hand yet to have hand painted the writing around the side so it was an edible image. On the photos you can see its still very wet.

This was a 60 diamond wedding anniversary cake I was asked to make for my good friend.
The first picture is the idea which was actually a photo frame and it shows the finished cake.
Its a 3 tier all put together but then I had to cut the oval out to fit the edible photo into it.
I don’t think Ive ever been scared making a cake this really was above my station but when they picked it up they cried :0)
I just got sent this photo the cake been cut 60 years later :0)

Well after an eventful couple of days I can report I finally got my cake finished.
I had forgotten I had changed to a new mixture so it took 3 attempts to get the giant cupcake perfect but I have the timings off to a T now.
The cake is a plain sponge cupcake with buttercream and jam filling encased in a milk chocolate base with piped ganache on the top and unwrapped ferrero rochers finished off with a touch of edible spay gold on them.
I didn’t have time to so the lettering in chocolate paste so its and edible image cut and shapes just to add on.

This was a last minute cake for my dads birthday.
I started at 5:30am and finished just in time at 3:30pm for him arriving.
The cake is sponge and my first ever carved cake.
I used my dinky doodle to spray it sugar glass mould gold leaf for the cap and label.
It’s all edible.
I hope you all think I’ve done well I’m quite proud :-) and my dad loved

This has been a fab cake to make so much fun and detail.
I hope you like it please let me know if you do :-)

I made this for my daughter I’m very happy with it I can see areas to improve for next time.
I even got to use my cricut machine which I can say I’m over the moon with.
The top tier is chocolate madeira with chocolate ganache filling an the bottom is plain madeira with with buttercream and raspberry jam filling.

This was a cookie cake I made for my partners birthday as he doesn’t like cake all of it is edible and I’m very happy with it although if I had more time I’d do the keys better, I was limited as the only chocolate he eats is rolos terry chocolate orange yorkie and twix :-)

Xmas elfs biscuits on sticks for my daughters Christmas school fair :-)

What to do on a weekend with with a 6 yr old :-) test the things you’ve never used. I had been dying to try my giant cupcake pan out along with cutters and my dinky doodle airbrush. We had loads of fun together it was really a joint effort she helped cut out spray and mix and loved it :-)

This was just a test cake to see how my new edible printer worked and didn’t want to waste it. Turned out ok I did rush putting it on the top hence the crease but my friends little girl was over the moon :-) and I learned for next time.

I made this cake for my mums birthday. It’s the first time I had used chocolate icing and made my own mould for the meerkat. She wouldnt have eaten a big cake so its a 4 inch and 6 inch. Was a nightmare to make turned out ok in the end and I know what to improve on next time :-)

I made his cake for my sons 16th birthday and yes he got a motorbike :-) I was very proud as I’d never piped by hand before. He was over the moon too.
