Woven basket illusion cake 🌼

When I was asked to make a May Day cake for my daughter’s school, I knew I had to include some beautiful seasonal flowers!
May Day is a traditional celebration to welcome the start of the summer and can involve May pole dancing (super cute dancing with ribbons)

And what better way than with an edible basket cake.

My lovely neighbour let me have some branches and foliage from her garden (which I of course checked were non toxic varieties) and I used my incredible smelling roses from my garden.

It raised £208 towards improvements to her school so I’m pretty pleased with that 🥰

The bake
This was a lemon drizzle cake with lemon curd and lemon buttercream! Finished with a layer of chocolate ganache to hold it all together.

Who remembers attending a may pole celebration as a kid?

WAIT!!! That’s not right 🧐 That’s cake!

One of my first cake food illusions but still one of my favourites!

What would you rather have?
Cornish Pasty or a Vanilla & Raspberry cake?

Polystyrene sucks!

I don’t think anyone can convince me otherwise.
It’s single use tat destined for landfill🙅‍♀️

I see cakes covered in chocolate coated polystyrene balls and it breaks my heart a little.
Like why cover something completely inedible in something both expensive and tasty 🤯

I am not 100% innocent. I have had to use them on a few rare occasions (mainly last min cakes) and I hated every minute of it.

So these are my go to alternative.

Silicone sphere moulds in various sizes which are perfect for melted chocolate.
They can even be filled with ganache, jelly or mousse 👌🏻
These were just from Amazon, but I image all cake decorating shops will sell them too!

For smaller spheres, you could use maltesers, sprinkles and drages or lint balls!
All I’m sure would be preferred by the cake client

70th Birthday Cake 🏍️🚂🐚🍟

Back when I started cakes I used to make a heck of a lot for family and friends!

It only seemed right we celebrated my Father in laws 70th with a cake all about him!

Steam train, Triumph motorbike, icecream, Lyme Regis and a chip stealing seagull!

The Bake 🍰

Soft chocolate banana cake with layers of cinnamon buttercream and finished with Belgian chocolate ganache 👌🏻

It was my first time using modelling paste and by Geoffries I felt like a complex muppet for not trying it sooner!
It was so easy to use and made each model set beautifully!
No more battling with saggy homemade modelling paste for me 🤦‍♀️
We live and learn!

What would you have on your cake that would be a describe your hobbies and likes?
