This theme park has it roots in Chessington Zoo, which opened in 1931; it was started by Reginald Goddard, who had bought the estate to showcase his private collection of animals. In 1946 when Mr Goddard died, the Pearson Publishing Company took over the zoo and managed it until 1978, when the Tussaud Group took control of the park (Tussauds was a subsidiary of the Pearson Group). In 1984, due to the zoo's declining attendance, Tussauds´s Director of Development, Ray Barratt commissioned John Wardley to come up with plans to revitalise the park, and the decision was made to open an amusement park to complement the zoo, and so Chessington World of Adventures was born. The park opened with a new monorail, a powered coaster, log flume and a dark ride (all supplied by the German ride manufacturer Heinrich Mack GmbH & Co). The new rides were to operate on a pay-one-price admission basis, and replace the existing pay-as-you-go fairground rides. The monorail, named the Safari Skyway, opened early in 1986 to give the visitors a foretaste of the new attraction. "Chessington World of Adventures" opened as a theme park in 1987. The attractions were all heavily themed with emphasis on atmosphere and effects, meaning Chessington was one of the first true theme parks in Britain.
On 22 May 2007, The Tussauds Group was taken over by Merlin Entertainments Ltd, which owns other brands, including the Sealife Centre, and The Dungeons. This meant that Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Madame Tussauds were also taken over as well. As a result of this purchase Merlin became the second largest entertainments operator in the world, ahead of Parques Reunidos and second only to Disney.
The park has a large selection of attractions. It also has over 1,000 animals, many of which can be seen from the Safari Skyway, an elevated monorail around the Zoo. Chessington has been in the same ownership as nearby Thorpe Park since 1998, and since 2007, Legoland Windsor.[1] Since Chessington World of Adventures and Thorpe Park are located within 20 miles of each other, its owner Merlin has made efforts to market the two parks to different age groups: Chessington World of Adventures is meant to appeal to children while Thorpe Park strives to thrill older thrillseekers.

A swimming pool themed birthday cake for a 40th Birthday. I was asked to design a cake showing the birthday girl and her family enjoying a swim!
This is an 8" chocolate 'mud' cake, filled with homemade chocolate ganache.
The figures are hand modelled from fondant icing, 100% edible.

Camelot Theme Park was a resort and theme park located in the English county of Lancashire (the last operating season was in 2012, the park did not open for 2013). The park´s theme was based on the famous legend of Camelot. It was located on a 140-acre (0.57 km2; 0.22 sq mi) site[2] near the village of Charnock Richard, 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Chorley.

A customer of mine requested these to give out as gifts for her daughter's bridesmaids:) The theme of the wedding was the movie Up...such an adorable idea for a wedding theme:) The purple shades i used looked much more purple in person, but i'm still learning about camera lighting...one of these days i'll figure it out!

A powerful Drupal theme to power your education-oriented site.
Ideal for universities & university departments, schools, seminars and online courses.
Here are the India-themed cupcakes that won me a Gold award at the Sugarcraft North 2011 exhibition in Harrogate, as well as the trophy for "Best on the Day in this Class" (the class was Novice: Afternoon Tea Fancies - 8 cupcakes), as well as trophy for Best Novice in show, for the highest score in show across all novice classes.
So shocked at being placed at all (let alone winning) that I almost fell off my perch! (particularly as I'd had a bit of a trauma with them the night before and had a complete change of plan with one of the designs).
I was particularly chuffed as the judging criteria was both on appearance and taste. The British Sugarcraft Guild judges liked the fact that I'd gone for something a bit different, both in terms of bold design and in terms of flavour - it was a bit of a gamble to stray away from the traditional-type flavours, but it was what I really wanted to do and it paid off!
For a better photo of the cupcakes before they were cut into for tasting see here.
I feel very honoured to be invited to join the Spanish Urban Sketchers flickr group - supposedly I am 'almost Spanish' (not quite sure what that means!)
Anyway... I am having fun following the sketches produced for their weekly themes... and getting very good use of the 'translate into my own language' feature in my google reader.
This weeks theme is 'from the heights' - I was hoping to do a more urban theme but it has been a crazy week... so more shoes and bags and books!
I must acknowledge the inspiration of

As for junk on the floor I have been thinking about that option during the week as I have seen it growing!
BTW the full collection of from the heights sketches are here (impressive set!)
