Jelly Cat Birthday Cake 🧸

The most adorable cake to date for Tabitha’s 9th Birthday. Customised with her 5 favourite characters and a personalised hand painted tag.

I like to make as much edible as I can on character cakes like this, so even the usually non edible polystyrene balls were made of delicious dipped chocolates.

The Bake 🍫
My rich chocolate cake for both tiers, one filled with fluffy vanilla bean buttercream and one with buttercream and homemade salted caramel.
Using my favourite Yeo Valley Organic butter and milk
Tasty eggs St. Ewe Free Range Eggs | B Corp
Finished with Callebaut Chocolate ganache 👌🏻

The Make 📐
Decorated with my favourite Smartflex Official
Beautiful pastel shades by Colour Mill 🎂
Candy melt dipped Lindt Chocolate ball bubbles
Hand painted details using Sugarflair® Food Colours powders

Organised by the talented team Teeparty Event Planners ⟁ Poole, Dorset

What a gorgeous cake to be able to design and make 💕

Could this be my cutest cake to date? 😍

Good gravy this was a wonderful cake to make!
I have really missed these intricate detail, full of sugar model style cakes and a theme as adorable as Jellycats, oooosh, I was in cake maker heaven.

Wishing Tabitha the must wonderful 9th birthday.
I’m sure with all the extra details have put into the party it’s going to be a glorious one!

If you have a party coming up over the next few months and are after a beautifully bespoke and custom cake I would love to hear from you.
I cover Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding areas of Dorset.

This cake has made me feel I may be missing out on a very cute trend.
Reminds me of my beanie baby obsession!
How flipping fantastic would that be millennials!? 💕

Nothing makes a cake maker panic more than a marquee wedding in July!

Pair that with a buttercream finish 😱

Always so grateful when my clients listen to my recommendations when it comes to cake coverings and timings.

I made sure I had a few different options for this cake when it came to the delivery.
The last thing I wanted was to have made this stunning tiered pressed flower cake, for it to melt either before I got to the venue or whilst it was there waiting for the bride and groom.

I checked The weather constantly (the week before had been 30+ degrees c ) My timing brackets (I am not a fan of delivering in amongst guests during a reception) A curveball option. I had the caterers on standby with fridge space in case the temperature soared. Plenty of spare flowers and ganache in case of any on the day hiccups.

Sometimes being a chronic over thinker has its merits.
At least I had covered all bases and was confident in knowing I had back up plans if needs be.

As it happens, the journey was great, the venue was stunning (Smedmore house in Dorset) the timing was perfect, the marquee had a cool sea breeze and the couple loved it. Phew!

I have written a blog with cake delivery tips in warm weather if anyone else is facing the same dilemma.
It’s in my bio 💕

Have you had any cake nightmares?

That’s not a bowl of noodles! 🍜

That’s a cake!

When Amy came to me asking if I could make her amazing daughter a 16th birthday cake and that her favourite food was noodles and crispy pork, to say I was a was excited is an understatement.

What a flipping brilliant cake brief!

She also chose a lush flavour!
Rich chocolate with homemade salted caramel buttercream 🤤
I even managed to make the broth caramel flavour 👌🏻

Absolutely everything was edible on this cake, from the chocolate bowl to the marble base and chopsticks!

I absolutely love these type of celebration cakes so keep them coming Bournemouth/Dorset residents!

Can’t wait to see what food illusion cake I get to make next!

What would be your perfect birthday or celebration illusion cake?
Mine would have to be a really excellent burger or something totally random like an old camera 📷
