So, I had the honour of making a surprise birthday cake for a friends' sister, so I went with a yummy chocolate sponge, a generous smothering of pink buttercream icing and cutesy handmade Cath Kidston bunting. . . .cute, right?
Next on the agenda was Mother's Day! I had made up just a few cupcake 'bouquets' before and thought they would be a real novel idea for Mother's Day gifts! Cupcakes decorated to look like flowers. . . arranged in a metal pail to look like a bunch of flowers! Here's a peak at what they looked like. . . .
One of my oldest friends was having her son christened last weekend, so I offered to make him his Christening cake as his gift. The original design involved a LOT of polka dots, but I decided (rather last minute) to make it slightly more stylized. . . what do you think?
Then, there was 'the BIGGIE' - a cake themed around the Royal Wedding - specially commissioned by my son's school! They were hosting a morning of fun 'Royal Wedding' festivities and wanted a 'cake' to mark the occasion, so they thought I'd like to make a 'wedding' cake. After giving it a weekend of thought, I came to the conclusion that an 'actual' wedding cake (whilst looking lovely) just wouldn't be 'fun' enough for a bunch of primary school kids - so I came up with the idea of a 'street party' cake - complete with tables of scrumptious street party food - so here it is, taking about 12 hours in total to make it all came together and looked good!
Some of the finer details. . . .
So, for now that's what I've got to share! I've got nests, bouquets, glasses and a gadgety themed cake coming up. . . .so keep tuned for sneaky peaks!
Happy baking
