Thomas the Tank Engine


This was a cake I was commissioned to make last November. I love how colourful the cake is, although the photo does not do the cake justice. I am very new to photographing my cakes so hopefully I get the hang of it in future.

Cupcake Bouquets



I had been wanting to create some cupcake bouquets and Christmas presented the perfect opportunity to make some. I made some to give to my daughter's teachers at school. Some of the parents thought they were real flowers!

A Christmas Cake

I offered to sell some cupcakes at my daughter's school fair two weeks ago, and decided to create a 2 tier Christmas themed cake using dummy cakes to advertise my cake business. I'm thankful to Saralexia of Cake Central for allowing me to copy her cake design which was so adorable I had to try it! I did make some minor changes to the design and I had a lot of fun creating Santa, Rudolph and all the other characters. The children seemed to be quite impressed and some of them thought that the cake was for sale. Awww :)


All the cupcakes were sold, so I'm really happy to have contributed to the school funds. Roll on summer as I'd like to sell cupcakes again for the school (or perhaps cake pops?), except this time (hopefully) the weather will be lovely and hot.

Here is a picture of my cupcake table at the school fair.


The Santa Fell in the Snow cupcakes were the most popular cupcakes of the night! There are close up photos of all the cupcakes I made in the Gallery.
