Jo visited me again today. This time to learn how to stack and decorate a cake with buttercream and drip. I think she did an exceptional job, don’t you?

Here’s a traditional fruit cake fed with Brandy for a 50th birthday celebration. 🥳

This is Gluten Free and nut free, so it doesn’t have marzipan 😱. Covered in pretty Fondant flowers. I hope you like it!

Thank you so much to everyone who turned up this morning to take home some beautiful teddy bear sunflowers. There were 50 available and they sold out so quickly supplied by Jacqueline McKechnie for Wirral Watercress.

Thank you for supporting local business. It’s important! 🥰🥰🥰

🌻 TEDDY BEAR SUNFLOWERS TOMORROW! 🌻

Something lovely is happening on my driveway tomorrow! 💛

My friend has been growing the most gorgeous Teddy Bear sunflowers at a local farm, and she’ll be selling them from my driveway tomorrow. 🌻🌻🌻

They are absolutely beautiful — big, fluffy, cheerful little bursts of sunshine — and would make a gorgeous addition to your home or a lovely gift for someone. 💛

So if you’re passing, come and say hello, pick yourself up some gorgeous locally grown sunflowers and support a local grower at the same time. 🌻

Bring your friends, your neighbours and your sunflower-loving family members! 😂💛

Hope to see lots of you tomorrow! 🌻

✨ Happy 10th Birthday, Kay! ✨

It’s always extra special when a customer comes back to me time and time again, and this lovely customer has been trusting me with her family’s celebration cakes for around five years now. I’ve lost count of how many cakes I’ve made for her — certainly a dozen or more! ❤️

This time, the brief was a Merlin-themed cake 🐉⚔️ — and I have to say, I absolutely loved making this one!

I really hope Kay loves it as much as I do when she sees it! 🥰 My 25 year old son has already declared it his favourite cake I’ve ever made!

So now I’d love to know what you think… Is this one a favourite too? 👀

Happy 10th Birthday, Kay! 🎂💜 I hope you have the most magical day!

Bella & Jet still haven't found their forever home 😞

Bella and Jet are a bonded pair of spaniels who must stay together.

Bella is an 11 year old springer spaniel, very affectionate and loves her walks. She is people and dog friendly.

Jet is almost 12 years old, working cocker spaniel and loves his walks even more! He is also very affectionate, people and dog friendly.

They haven't lived with cats and can chase them.

They have had their all over health check/dental/ blood tests and are now ready to be re-homed 🏡

Bella and Jet have been surrendered due to sad circumstances from a loving owner who has cared so well for them, and through no fault of their own.

Here’s a different take on floral celebration cake. These are hand-piped buttercream flowers. Much trickier than cupcakes!! Oh and the heat in the kitchen didn’t help you either. I know we’re not having a heat wave at the moment, but just the fact that it was 22° in my kitchen was a challenge!

I would like to give credit to Cupcakes By Sally for the design inspiration. A customer of mine saw her picture and asked me to create something similar.
