Painted Roses

This is my latest cake that I just delivered this afternoon. My client's brief was something floral and so I created two designs for her to choose from. The first design was a cherry blossom cake, and the other one was eventually chosen- the roses cake. The inspiration for the design is the last picture above. My client wanted the roses to be more swirly than bolt upright, so I made the modification and she approved the design. I'm very keen to paint on cakes so I was glad the roses were chosen! I love the simplicity of the roses but the effect is beautiful :). My client also requested chocolate and vanilla cake- so there were two layers of chocolate and two of vanilla which I alternated and filled with swiss vanilla buttercream... Yum...

Painted Cakes

I have been wanting to try painting on cakes for a while and managed to find some time the other week to try it. Its fantastic fun for the frustrated artist in me! If anyone wants a painted cake, just let me know your theme-flowers, landscape, favorite objects, anything! If you have a picture as inspiration, even better. My daughter saw what I was doing and asked to try it. Its her birthday very soon so I thought I might try and let her 'draw' on her own cake using edible pens. It may or may not be tricky- it all depends how light or heavy handed Mia will be when it comes to writing/drawing on her cake. Fondant covered cakes 'set' when left for a few hours or overnight, but they do not dry rock hard, which makes them ideal as cake covers and as canvas for decorating the cakes further. If all goes well, the results will be shown on this blog. Stay tuned!

Sonic the Hedgehog

I had never heard of Sonic the Hedgehog until I made this cake. It's no surprise considering I don't play computer games! I'm very happy with how the cake turned out (I know I like to say that a lot! Must try to find other words to express how I feel lol). The birthday boy Elliot is expecting a Sonic themed cake and I think he'll be very happy with this cake too. Happy 5th birthday, Elliot!

I have been trying to add a new page recently without much success. I wanted to add an FAQ page so that the most common questions could be answered and shown on my website.

The All Sorts Cake

I made another dummy cake for presentation purposes. I am embarking on a publicity drive of sorts and I feel that whenever I talk about being a cake artist/cake decorator/baker, it always helps to have a decorated cake there and then so people can see what I can do with fondant. I'm very happy with how this cake turned out. Each tier contrasts in terms of design but the colours hold it all together. This cake design is my kiddie friendly one. I am hoping to finish my grown up two tier cake dummy very soon. I'm very excited by that one because it involves painting  a cake, something which I've been wanting to try for a while! Stay tuned :)
