🎂 nephew 🎂

It was a chocolate sponge, chocolate buttercream, chocolate ganache drip and a huge amount of chocolate on top. He was a happy boy 👦

Happy birthday disc from

Really enjoyed creating again!

🔥 👋 Hello 👋 🔥

Thought I’d pop on and share A little family cake I did recently. I loved the bright florals which were from last year.

Colours are .mill rust , yellow and red mixed.

This was a lemon sponge, a homemade lemon curd filling and a lemon Swiss meringue buttercream. My new favourite flavour I think!

I’m still not open for orders but I really enjoyed getting back in the kitchen for this one!

🌸 Pretty in Pastels 🌸

Well, that’s a wrap. My last cake for a while was this beauty!

This was an almond sponge cake, with almond Swiss meringue buttercream and a hazelnut cream filling. I’ve had some lovely feedback which is always amazing to receive!

I just wanted to say, Thank you all for your support for my little business over the last 12 months. I’m so proud of how far I have come and couldn’t have done it without all of you supporting me!

Hopefully it won’t be too long before I start taking orders again. In the meantime I’ll still bake when I can and will be testing new recipes for when I return 😉

🌸 Baby girl 🌸

I’m thrilled with how this turned out. I may not be taking new bookings but this was one I just had to do. My oldest friends baby shower. It was such a lovely day and was great to see everyone and get back in the kitchen for a day!

This was a two tier Victoria sponge with Swiss meringue buttercream. I can’t take credit for the elephant on this one but how cute is this! Custom made by cake top treasures on Etsy.

The stunning flowers were from and I love the floral ring behind the elephant. Finally the custom wooden topper was from .

I also made a load of cupcakes and biscuits but forgot to take pictures 😂

Thank you for trusting me with this and

What do you think?

🌸 Pinkity pink 🌸

The brief was pink and pretty did I meet it? 😂

I loved making this. It was inspired by a mixture of two of my earlier cakes and I was super excited to be asked and see pictures of my own cakes provided as the inspiration when I was discussing the order. I’ve also had the loveliest feedback too which just always makes the long nights worthwhile!

This was a chocolate sponge cake with chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream, made with galaxy chocolate. It was then finished with a thin layer of vanilla buttercream to ensure we got the colours as vibrant as possible. Then as a final addition there’s meringue kisses, rosettes and macarons too! Cakes like this are my favourite to make, they may have a similar style but no two are ever the same.

Big shoutout to for making the birthday celebration even more exciting with the elephant topper and to for the stunning dried flowers!

🧚‍♀️ Fairy Cake 🧚‍♀️

I love this one. Everything is edible and handmade apart from the fairy’s! This is what happens when you give me a theme and let me be creative 😂

It’s a Victoria sponge with American buttercream and a few chocolate decorations.

All of the decorations are made using pasta model. I highly recommend this! I much prefer working just with buttercream but pushed myself out of the comfort zone a bit with this one and I think it’s paid off🙂.

I think my favourite thing is the tiny hedgehogs though 😂🦔.

Colours are all .mill
Topper is , my absolute favourite for wooden toppers , as you have probably guessed 😂
Sprinkles are which make perfect hedgehog eyes 👀
It’s was all finished with a spritz of dark gold lustre dust for a little sparkle.
