I made this cake for my son's 2nd birthday party. He is a great Peppa fan and he loved the cake.
The cake is filled with white chocolate mousse & dark chocolate mousse. Covered with marzipan, piggies made of sugarpaste.

This cake was very, very random. I made it for a husband and wife's shared 50th. There's lots of different things on there that relate to them and that they love. The top tier is the mums things. The bottom is the dads. There's a couple of jokes on here as well. All decorations made with fondant.

For a painter decorator 70th birthday - last minute emergency cake as their cake make let them down on the thursday and the cake was for the Saturday!! All choc mud, paint brush was modelling paste.
This cake was fun and hard to make at the same time (usually the case, isn't it :) The image on top of the cake was printed on our edible image printer which turned out to be a God-send because we had planned on having the horns come out of the top of the cake... completely not thinking that they would weigh so much. The orange bull heads on the side are made from flower paste and are hand cut using a very delicate stencil which kept breaking. I should have planned a bit better on that and cut it from something sturdier. We have also started covering all of our cake boards with fondant which adds a nice touch. This one I rolled a woodgrain impression mat over and then airbrushed a bit of darker brown over it. The horns are made of rice crispies covered in buttercream and flower paste.

Here's a challenge: bake a cake that won't falter in a near gale. And here we got the little Contessa cupcakes (first experiments with sugarpaste), ready to launch. They looked pretty much the same after being bashed about at 45knots, after I had tucked them away in a Pyrex dish, then strapped them into a pilot berth. "co" is the class symbol for Contessas -and as my favourite boat is a Contessa 26, and it's easy to make.
I haven't made cupcakes for ages, and although they were tasty, they're no lookers. And making things out of sugarpaste is a real mess. The recipe is from the Hummingbird cookbook. Having previously made them from teh Magnolia book, I wanted to try a different one. Dough: a lot more liquid, easy to stir together with the Chef, appears less heavy and fluffier and tastier than Magnolia. Icing: too much milk. Once in the firdge, it sets like rock, not great for wielding a palette knife at 7am, trying to ice the things. In the future, Hummingbird bottoms, Magnolia icing, perhaps.
