Looking back - From 2017. - Sunflowers!🌻
1st pic - A fruitcake decorated as a raised bed with planed sunflowers this was made for a charity to be auctioned it took me hours but I wanted to practice and I had an idea so I ran with it, I look back with love as I was so proud of myself as I was still towards the start of my journey and I made the sunflowers by studying photos and working out the mechanics, the previous year so this was another chance to practice🌻
Pic 4- my imagination running free! Inspired by the mirror the cake sat on and wanting to include sunflowers (another chance to have a go) I managed to get a Bronze at Cake International back in 2017, I had the best time standing back and listening to people talk about it, without knowing I was there. I heard the good, bad and ugly 🥰😂😳 but was intrigued as people tried to critique it, and as I said I wasn't sure where it came from so it was great to hear their thoughts.
Oh! Almost forgot... I was at the hairdressers waiting just after I'd picked up my cake magazine and as I flicked through.... it was used on an advert! I had no idea! I let out a noise that I can only describe as a scream , which I had no control over but I was just so happy at the time no one had scissors cutting people's hair 😳🫣 I followed with a lot of "I'm so sorry" and my excited explanation, sitting still for my haircut then required all the focus I could muster lol xx
Pic 8- this wedding cake started the obsession I had with sunflowers back then, I loved making it along with the jars of biscuits
Pic 9 - my sunflower wedding biscuit, I really loved creating this for the story behind it as much as the design itself 🥰🌻🫶
