Welcome to my new followers and thank you.
I make all kinds of celebration cakes, in fondant, buttercream and ganache.
My favourite are novelty cakes, especially if is food related! 😅
I generally post the weeks cakes on a Sunday once everyone has had their celebrations.
I am based in Hainault IG6, Essex.
I am on Instagram too but rarely use it, I don't make time. I'm also on Tik-Tok and sometimes you can catch me live making cakes, normally on a Friday night.
My Tik-Tok is 👇

Finally we had a 3 tier Christening cake for Brian - James..
Colours scheme royal blue/white & silver.
6"/8"/10" all vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream inside, covered in white chocolate ganache and fondant icing.
The bo**ie shoes were made from scratch by hand, NO cutters used.
The Crown was handmade too.
I only had a mould that made the front of a crown, I had to adapt & add to it to make the full crown needed. Both this & the bo**ie shoes were airbrushed.
The cake alone took me 9hours to make, (I'm not quick & it's all in the preparation) this does not include the hours spent making the crown & bo**ies.
The colours matched the decor and ladies dresses perfectly 👌

Good morning everyone, another crazy busy week.
First cake of the week was for Jude's 2nd birthday. His 8" safari themed cake was chocolate sponge with Orange flavoured buttercream (coloured orange too).
This one had bought toy animals to keep (I love them so cute!)
I also made Jude's 1st birthday cake last year which was Under the sea themed (pics at the end).
Special thanks to Jude's Mum for the pics, I always appreciate your pics & feedback.
Plus generally, your pics are better than mine! 😉🥰

2nd order for a surprise party for Tianna becoming a teenager & her 13th birthday.
Her cake was this Arsenal football themed cake with 3 x 8" sponges split into 6 layers of red velvet sponge with cream cheese buttercream inside and all white choc ganache outside.
I am so privileged & grateful to have made Tianna's birthday cakes since her 1st birthday.
Her first cake was Care Bears themed (in the last 2 pics).. Thank you Troy for being a valued customer 🫶🏻😘 x
Ps. Cake was recreated from the image sent to me.

Good morning everyone, first of 2 cakes this week. (I kept it to a minimum knowing the time this would take)..
80mile round trip to deliver this 6 tier Wedding cake for Patrick & Madison at the stately Fennes wedding venue in Essex.
Their design was inspired by 'Cakedaysaweek'.
Their 6 tier cake comprised of:-
4" cake dummy,
6" Chocolate sponge with Choc buttercream
8" Lemon sponge with lemon curd & lemon Bc
10" Vanilla sponge with Raspberry jam & Bc
12" & 14" cake dummies to make it extra grand.
They also had a separate Chocolate biscuit traybake (I did a double portion).
Each cake tier was covered in white chocolate ganache and covered in fondant icing coloured cream and hours of roses, flowers & leaves decor and trimmed with cream ribbon.
The flowers were artificial.
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Stokes, wishing you both a lifetime of love & happiness 💕🎉🙏🏽 ###

Finally cake 6.. **LONG read! (although this wasn't last made) it was 4th on my list.
It should have been the easiest of all 6 cakes but I spent twice as long as I should have, due to the heat. Outside it was 36 degrees, and felt even hotter in my kitchen!
The cake was a 6" basketball theme with choc sponge & choc buttercream inside and my usual white choc ganache outside and fondant icing. I thought I could buy a basketball impression mat/mould, but it seems one doesn't exist? I browsed my local shops for inspiration, deciding on a new bobbly hair brush to do the pattern/design.
Despite what felt like working in a sauna, everything was going as well as it could, with only me melting, until disaster struck, I could see it looked like the buttercream and or ganache was melting! I don't normally put fondant cakes in the fridge, but I left it in overnight to chill and firm up. It seemed ok. I finished the last details, boxed it up and placed it in the coolest place I could.
I then got back to the last 2 cakes.
When I checked on my cake, it developed a big air bubble and I thought just leave it be, but it got worse. But with collection time looming, I had to try to resolve it. I tried to pierce the air bubble & push the air out, it kept getting worse, moving around the cake then making the icing crack! 😪 I was annoyed & upset I had no time to do anything else but let it go like that. I could only apologise & offer a part refund. By the time it arrived at the destination, it got even worse. **SEE last pic.
Of all the cakes I had this week, I don't know why this happened?
Ps of course I do NOT have air con.
Why the heat affected this cake I do not know?

5th & 2nd safari themed cake..
The 1st pic is the A.I image I was sent, I changed the design slightly of the animals, but my take is from the 2nd photo on.
9" vanilla sponge with strawberry jam and buttercream inside and white choc ganache outside.
All 5 animals and again the leaves were handmade. I loved making all these animals for their cute 1st birthday's.
