Beautiful cakes, delicious bakes

22/03/2025

The last one 💙🤍✨️

This beauty was my final cake before officially closing. Navy, white & gold, what an elegant, contemporary cake to finish on! I love the different details of each tier, how they all vary yet compliment one another. I'm particularly fond of the bottom tier with its navy marbling. And let me tell you, marble effect buttercream is a tricky one to achieve! But I do like a challenge 😊

Flavours - all made without gluten:

Top tier - coconut & lime sponge, vanilla buttercream & passion fruit curd

Middle tier - chocolate & raspberry sponge, chocolate buttercream, raspberry jam

Bottom tier - vanilla & raspberry sponge, white chocolate buttercream, raspberry jam

As I walked away and took a last glance, I have to admit, I got a little emotional and had a tear in my eye to think that that's it.

I've come so far in the last 4 years, refining my decorating skills, honing my style (or maybe styles), and of course, devising delicious recipes. But it is SO tough to run a cake business. I still have things to say about this, so brace yourselves for a long post! But for now, I'll leave you with this pretty 3 tier 💙

A selection of some favourites from last year, showcasing various skills & styles that I've developed & honed over my cake making career 🖌

Stripes, stencilling, abstract florals, palette knife work, marbling, blending/watercolour effect, rice paper sails....not to mention also just understanding buttercream, how it behaves, and how best to achieve a sharp finish 😊 It's been a journey! ❤️

A collection of lambeth or vintage cakes from recent months. Although it's not a particularly "me" kind of cake, I really enjoyed getting into this style and can see why they are so popular!

A shame I only really got into doing them over the last 6 months or so before closing. But I'm glad to have had the chance to experiment!

These cakes require a lot of buttercream and a ton of piping tips. They're all about opulence and looking cute at the same time, and often with a dash of attitude! 💥

My beautiful friend and fellow cake maker Ione got married yesterday to the love of her life, Adam, and I had the privilege of making their wedding cake! 💕

I have been excited - and nervous - about making this lavish design. Detailed, complex, colourful (with some tricky tones of maroon & periwinkle to achieve), and requiring a very steady hand to pipe lots of swathes & swirls evenly.

It is one of the most challenging cakes that I've made, but I am so happy with the outcome! I think the bride & groom were too 🥰 As one of the last cakes I'll be making, what a special one it is to end on.

Something different for the flavours inside, too:

Top tier - inspired by my very own key lime pie, was a lime & raspberry sponge with ginger cream cheese frosting inside

Bottom tier - sticky toffee sponge, sticky toffee sauce & vanilla buttercream

Hitting all those delicious pudding-y notes!

To go with the cake were lemon & blueberry cupcakes with homemade lemon curd filling, a mix of gluten free, and vegan gluten free so that everyone could have cake 🎂

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Thrussell! 💖 Wishing you many years of happy marriage xx
