Lovely cakes Violet. Yeah it does sound like fun and interesting :-). Here is a cake I did recently that was inspired by an Indonesian Kebaya. As soon as I saw the Kebaya, I so loved it and wanted to try it out :-). Close ups of the cake

Hehe, you should ask them to pay you for the promotion :)

A lovely friend of mine asked me to create a cake for her daughters christening based on the invitations & guest book, this is what I came up with x

True true Michal I think Violet should ask them to pay for the promotion ;-)

Great idea for a thread by the way xx

Love this thread! I can’t wait to see what everyone is inspired by!

Great idea Violet!!! These are my Owls that you all know, they were inspired by a postcard as you can see…I just gave them a Ana twist!! xxx

Brilliant Violet!! i loved reading this thread too and seeing everyones inspiration photos!! how lovely to have the picture that inspired you right next to your cake!! :-)

Great idea Michal lol!

Love your cake Sasi as you know. Saw it a few weeks before doing mine and come to think of it, yours plus a few others may have inadvertently inspired me to try a cake based on fashion!

Sarah – love your cake too and remember it from the top 50 Anything album from The Cake of the Week Is…Great to see what inspired it!

Ana – love your owls – one of my fave owl cakes ever (that and your Halloween Owl) and also great to see what inspired the design. LOVE your Ana twist on the ears =D

Thanks Elli & Toni – glad this thread is fun for more than just me lol!

Just thought I’d share the inspiration for the pattern on the 3rd tier of my most recent cake – just for fun to show that inspiration really can come from anywhere!

Gorgeous cake!

Awww…thanks Sandra! =D

This is why I was inspired to make my beloved other half his pike cake! He caught this at a reservoir in oldham using a goldfish lure and it took the lure right near the edge or the water, very exciting!!!! It weighed about 14lb!

And the cake…….

Great topic violet, love to see what cakes can come from, I find myself everyday looking at stuff and thinking I could turn that into a cake! xx :)

Awww…thanks for sharing Christine! I love how you did the fins and the colours are spot on =D

Here’s mine, inspired by an Elie Saab Haute Couture dress…
