Passion flowers and periwinkles!

I created this little wedding cake a few months ago and haven't got around to sharing it!

Sometimes the simplest things are the prettiest - The gentle blue/purple hues and the delicate texture of the pasionflowers are really dreamy!

Ahoy me'arties!

Jenny Chambers SquareHen and I have been hard at work building an exciting backdrop to show off her incredible edible showpeice for this years Sugar Screams feature sponsored by Rainbow Dust Colours at Cake International

It really is amazing what you can build with determination out of an old shed, some string and 5000 cable ties!

I have been busy making a start on my peice for the feature today too - its going to be my biggest to date I think!

Come and see our peices and the work all of the other amazing cake artists from around the world who are involved in the Sugar Screams 'Pirate Queen' feature at Cake International at the NEC in Birmingham from the 6th-8th of November!

Its been a hot minute since I've posted!

I've had a super lovely 'as switched off as possible' summer full of family, fun and friends (in between the cakes obvs!)

I have got so many things to share with you but for now, I'm going to leave these here - I can thoroughy reccomend a visit to the Black Forest in Germany - we loved Germany so much we are planning a return visit next year! (Do let me know if you have any reccomendations of places to visit there!!)

I still get a buzz out of opening my The Cake Decorating Company parcel and seeing one of my creations on the front of thier magazine!

I had the pleasure of creating this super pretty basket of flowers using THE SUGAR PASTE™ earlier in the year - you can find a little tutorial on how to make it yourself in the free magazine included in your The Cake Decorating Company orders!

Wildflower meadow...

I had the pleasure of creating this super pretty cake for the lovely Danni and George last week at

The cake design features both hand painted wildflowers and piped lambeth style swags... all of the prettiest things!!

I must admit, I am a little bit in love with this one!!!

Dogwood and Peonies...

I've had a soft spot for dogwood flowers for the longest time so was delighted to get the oppertunity to paint them on this cake along with some soft coral open peony blooms...

The base green colour (made with 50% moss green and 50% white THE SUGAR PASTE™) really sets off the colour of the flowers beautifully!

I dont know about you but I think this cake really sums up gentle summer vibes for me!

Cake board feet!

I was recently gifted some .making cake board feet from
and they have changed my life! (OK- not my whole life but I do really love them!!)

I have been using them on all of my tall single tier cakes - not only do they make the boards easier to lift up, but the little shadow gap they give underneath really elevates the look of the cake - especially if it going straight onto a table with no stand!

I created this hand painted cake and cookies for a client last week (based on a past design) and I think it looks great with its little feet! What do you think?

My new favorite thing... Long, low and super pretty!

I've been spotting this trend for long rectangular table cakes on my socials for a while now and have wanted a reason to give it a go with my own signature twist!

I chose to paint trailing nasturtium flowers along the top of this one as they are everywhere in my garden at this time of year and they bring me so much joy!

The painting paired with the delicate lambeth piping is just so pretty and is definately giving elegant, vintage vibes!

What do you think of long table cakes?
