Our lovely friends @amysymonds and @lionelrichd finally got married yesterday at the gorgeous @hommehouse. They asked me to bake this Raspberry and Lemon cake for their big day. Complete with fruit and handmade flowers.
It was beautifully framed by the wonderful display of flowers on the staircase for extra wow factor! π

I dusted off my airbrush to get the ombre effect on this lively party cake for Michelle's 40th. It was finished off with some pink sparklers later.

We just had a wonderful trip to Reykjavik, so I was inspired to make this cake for my husband on his birthday. We didn't see the northern lights, but I hope this sugar glass does the real thing justice.
Happy Birthday @martincorns

Dad's chickens Babs and Lottie featured on his birthday cake this year along with their beloved blueberries, which I made from icing then realised I could have just used real ones π
It's Charlie and the numbers! He is in amongst some isomalt bubbles for my niece's first birthday.
These were my first attempts at making bubbles and they turned out quite well, but I'll definitely be doing some more practice!

I hope there was lots of dancing at Chrissy and Liz's birthday party yesterday to keep in theme with the cake!
This was a yummy moist mud cake which is a reliable crowd pleaser π

Only 23 weeks until Christmas! π
I'm hoping this year we can all be together with our loved ones. I made this cake for our summer alfresco Christmas which we celebrated in the garden a couple of weeks ago.
It's a new recipe of figgy fruitcake with brandy.

Why be a unicorn when you could be a unicorn AND a dinosaur?!
This was a fun twist on the unicorn trend ...I was also covered in sparkles for the rest of the day ππ

I had a go at making a Babka yesterday after seeing them on Great British Bake Off. @martincorns was so passionate about the cozonac his Auntie used to make which is very similar. It's very tasty so I will have give cozonac a try to see the difference π

What a treat to be asked to make a cake for my uncle Ron who celebrated his 100th birthday on Boxing Day. His only complaint was that this jumper was too clean to be his π π―

If a party without a cake is just a meeting, does that mean a meeting WITH a cake is a party?! Maybe my friends at Creative Support Dudley can answer. This was their treat this morning. Well done for reaching your target! (please excuse the naughty eclaimation mark which shifted itself in the process, it was a very early photo shoot today before it was whisked away ¡ ) π
