Ombre Ruffle cake with sugar peony topper. This 8-inch double height ombre ruffle cake has ombre sponge cake layers on the inside to match the graduation in colour on the outside. Cake inspired by Maggie Austin.

3-d sculpted Hedwig owl cake is an 8-inches tall chocolate mud cake, covered in fondant. Would have covered using modelling chocolate but summer temps ruled that out! Book is vanilla sponge cake with vanilla mousseline buttercream.

Sculpted barbel fish is entirely edibe. Inside is red velvet cake with cream cheese mousseline buttercream. Cake board is covered in sugar paste and then stained with edible ink to look like wood. Thanks to Twisted Sugar Cakery for inspiration and for agreeing to let me use her cute message on the note!
