Thomas the Tank Engine and the Railway Series is very popular in our house so this was another cake I made, inspired by the Railway Series. It was our daughter's 3rd birthday so it had to be Henry! He was made to scale from the original gauge one working model based on photographs found on the pages.

Happy 80th Anniversary to The Railway Series

Happy 80th Birthday to Thomas the Tank Engine and the Railway Series! Following the release of long lost and remastered it seemed only fitting to repost this cake that I made for our daughter...

The brief for this cake was oddly specific... "I want Thomas down the mine!" - This references Series 1, Episode No 25 (Book No 8 - Gordon the Big Engine), where "Long ago miners digging for lead, made tunnels under the ground. The rooves are strong enough to hold up trucks but not the weight of engines. A large notice warns them not to enter the area." - But Thomas, being a cheeky engine made a plan to go past it and caused the underlying tunnel to collapse!

The cake itself is chocolate sponge with vanilla buttercream and morello cherry jam. The hill is chocolate crispie cereal treats and covered in fondant icing. Thomas and the rail track were taken from Daddy's model railway, so I had to be super careful with it!

I love a bit of branding! I also love to support local businesses where I can too, so I'm super excited to be donning my new oversized hoodie from Special memories Embroidery & printing. based in Burbage, Leicestershire. They have done such an amazing job on this very detailed logo. Highly recommend them and I'll be back for more items in the new year!

This number 3 cake was vanilla flavoured sponge with strawberry jam and vanilla flavoured ermine buttercream, fondant mermaid tails and seashells and macarons. The cake was supplemented by chocolate ganache filled chocolate cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes and gluten free* vanilla cupcakes.

Ermine buttercream is a very light and smooth textured buttercream, made with milk, sugar, flour and butter (it sounds strange but it's delicious!) It has less sugar than the standard American buttercream (which is a 2:1 ratio of sugar to butter).

*customer was informed that gluten was present in the kitchen whilst these cupcakes were prepared. These cupcakes were topped with American buttercream as ermine buttercream was not suitable due to the presence of flour within the sugar mix.

Happy Ninety Years (nine-ti-ers... at a lot of work for a pun!) to my Nan!

My Nan supported my love for baking long before it became my business, and I've been making her 'bunnies' since I was a child. Over the years Nan has bought me cake decorating items for birthday and Christmas presents so I wanted to showcase to her what I can do with them!

Only two of these tiers are real cake; one is a fruit cake and the other a chocolate sponge with chocolate ganache filling. The remaining seven tiers are polystyrene cake dummies. These can be used when you want to have an elaborate cake but don't want to waste cake!

The photo frames are all made out of fondant icing and dusted with edible lustre powder. The photos are edible print.

I use as my fondant covering and modelling, it is lovely to work with, it's stretchy, has a marshmallowy type flavour and it uses responsibily sourced palm oil which is important to me. Where possible, I choose to use products that contain sustainable/responsibily sourced palm oil. This inevitably makes my ingredients cost higher but if we can normalise sustainable products then that can only be a good thing, right?!

Today marked the last church service that Reverend Pauline Cummins conducted in the Parish of Broughton Astley, Croft and Stoney Stanton, as she moves to a new ministry in Lincolnshire. The Parish came together at the united service held at St Mary's, Broughton Astley and the service was followed by a luncheon provided by members of the congregation. We wish Reverend Pauline all the very best for the future and she'll be greatly missed.

This cake was made after the customer saw this design in my photo album at Croft Walking Market in May and placed their order. It's a 9" cake comprising three layers of chocolate sponge with chocolate fudge icing and lots and lots of chocolate!

As the school year closes, it's farewell to a class of six teachers/teaching assistants. They each had their own box of personalised cupcakes.

These were lemon with lemon curd, chocolate with chocolate spread and vanilla with strawberry jam. All topped with fondant icing
