Carnival Queen


This cake creates a true carnival atmosphere complete with hand painted bunting and a hand modelled Carnival Queen sitting on her throne. The cake itself - a decadent Bailey's and Belgian chocolate cake filled with layers of chocolate ganache and a little more Bailey's!

Happy Birthday Charlie!

This design featured memorable items that were special to the recipient and included  hand-modelled kidney beans, a bird, a dog lead, and a bottle of Otley OB. Additionally the cake featured hand painted Otley Beer, Pontypridd RFC, and Wales Touch Association badges. The cake was a rich, decadent dark chocolate cake filled with layers of white chocolate ganache.

Birthday butterflies


This ethereal design was inspired by the birthday girl's love of butterflies and was decorated with a combination of butterflies handmade from icing and butterflies that were hand painted directly onto the cake. A handmade gerbera adorned the top of the cake and provided the perfect resting place for the large focal butterfly. The cake itself was a classic Victoria sponge filled with luscious vanilla butter cream and strawberry preserve.

Animal Farm


The design was inspired by the birthday girl who is a farmers wife. The cake was topped with a sheep handmade from icing and also featured various other handmade farm animals and produce that one might see at a local farmers market. The pastel green icing gave the cake an overall pretty and whimsical feel and was complimented by the traditional picket fencing which encircled the circumference. The cake was a rich, moist fruit cake to give a truly grown-up spin on the farm animal theme.

Double Birthday Celebration







A cake for two special birthday's with two very different themes. Emma wanted a cake that combined her Dad's love of golf with her Aunt's love of shopping, so the final design was a two tier cake with hand modelled golfer and shopping paraphernalia. The bottom tier was a traditional Victoria sponge and the top tier a rich Belgian chocolate cake (Emma's Aunt being a confessed Chocoholic). Unfortunately we didn't get a photo of the two tiers together, but the design was separated by an acrylic stand that encased the modelled golfer.
