Angry birds
Sam's mum came back for a third year for his birthday cake and she was glad she did. When I got to the party his first words were "have you done my cake, have you done my cake? What are you holding is that my cake, is it my cake"!

Michelle & Beardy's Wedding x
Sadly, I'm a moron and didn't charge my camera up so only got these photo's, but think they give you an idea. Loved doing this one, they told me the colour scheme and trusted me to do whatever I fancied, which was lovely! Went with a mix of lemon & vanilla cupcakes (the lemon filled with lemon curd) and then the top cake was a bit of a secret and was made up of 7 different coloured layers, so that when they cut into it - a rainbow!!!!! Sadly no pic but there's one on here that I did for a neighbour that will give you the idea. A wonderful day with wonderful friends and some lovely cake too xx
Whoop, gingerbread house
This was a really fun thing to do with the boys, although I was also looking after a friends 9 year old daughter that day, and I think she enjoyed it more! Ta dah, new Christmas tradition??
Tatty Teddy
Love doing girly cakes, think this one turned out quite well, he did look like he was carrying a bit of Christmas weight but I think teddies are supposed to aren't they?
Come on you Spurs!
Check out my cockerel, most proud of that! Obviously had a few harsh critics in the house so didn't want to let them (or Big J) down!
Thomas the Tank Engine....classic
I LOVED doing this one! It was a real pleasure and I was happy that he turned out looking like the real deal (and not hungover like my Peppa Pig!).
Peppa Pig
A lovely Peppa Pig scene made for my niece. Was more tricky than I thought and think Peppa looked like she'd had a night on the tiles, but Daisy was happy enough with it and gobbled up her head first....(maybe that was a sign that she wasn't happy with it??)
70th Jam Lovers Cake
Wedding Cupcakes
A cupcake tower, all vanilla with cream icing, topped with the wedding colours of pink, green & red, lovely x
Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea delights that I made for someone to throw a surprise Wedding Shower. There were 3 types of filled scones, maple & walnut, lemon & sultana & plain, a lemon drizzle cake, a coffee cake, a chocolate orange fudge cake & a classic Victoria sponge, mmmm, making me hungry.....
Teachers Pet :-)
Yes, at the end of summer term I became one of those mothers, the sort even I hate, and made these for the boys teachers, urgh :-/
Charity Cake Sale
I made these to sell at a charity football day but sadly it rained so much I didn't take any photo's outside of the house! Luckily (because I think most people liked the thought of getting home, drying off and getting warm with a brew!) they all sold!
A Giant Jaffa Cake!
A special request from one of my favourite cake people, I'm calling this a Giant Raffa Cake! It's a 4 layered chocolate cake filled with chocolate orange buttercream & ganache, then topped with a giant orange jelly disc, covered with more chocolate and then finished with mini Jaffa Cakes, yum!
Rainbow Cake!
The neighbours' daughter asked me to make a vanilla cake as a surprise for her mum's birthday. So I went a little crazy with it and did this! Luckily it turned out great and I did the same for a wedding cake a month later, think they liked the surprise too!
Somebody has baked for me?!?!?!?!
Ralph was never gonna give baking a whirl so luckily I've got 2 others willing to give it a try for my birthday, a superb first effort from the pair, followed a recipe and only got Ralph involved with oven duties. It even tasted good!
