It was a true privilege to be asked to make Billy and Jasmine's wedding cake. A gorgeous couple that deserved a spectacular cake...that stood almost a metre tall!

Four different techniques going on, and three flavours: sticky toffee / salted caramel buttercream, chocolate fudge / chocolate buttercream and lemon / lemon curd buttercream. The top was a dummy tier.

First time handcrafting a topper out of wire because in three months of searching I couldn't find one in the style and size I wanted. Quite enjoyed doing a bit of metal craft!

It was at the cracking evening do at The Morritt Hotel and Garage Spa as well. So much love in the room for the happy couple 🥰.

A Finding Dory cake for possibly my favourite client, the lush Charlie, in his favourite flavour, my signature chocolate fudge cake. He is autistic and non-verbal, so I really enjoy making his cakes on the theme of whatever his current obsession is, and hearing about his reaction 🥰

I won't keep you in suspense any longer; this is what the brick effect was for. Leo asked for a football cake and I wanted to do something a bit different, and landed on an illusion cake replicating one of the most iconic signs in football, with a little personal touch.

He loved it, and wanted a piece with the liver bird on!

All handcut and handpainted lettering. Time-consuming, and I had a late night last night, but my boy is worth it 😍 x

Love a covered board 😍. It can make even the most simple cakes look amazing, and continue or add to the theme of the cake.

I used a variety of tools and techniques to get a realistic brick look, after starting with plain red fondant for the bricks and white fondant for the cement.

Any guesses as to what the cake will be?! 🤔

EDIT: first clue is that it's for my football-mad son 🤨

It was a pleasure to do this one for my niece and goddaughter to celebrate her first birthday this week and her baptism today. Peppa and Iggle Piggle are her two favourite TV charactes and 2D worked better for this.

Her Nana made the fruit cake for it - family tradition - and I worked my magic to give it The Cake Chapter, showstopping edge (including doubling the height of the overall cake to create the room for the design).
