I admit it – I’ve read all four books of the Twilight series and I loved them. So, I was quite excited when I was asked to make a cake replica of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book, for a fan’s birthday. The cake was a surprise from her boyfriend, so I really hope… Read More
This is another of my recent cakes, for a birthday boy who likes – can you guess?? Ferrari! This is a Black and White Cake, covered in fondant with red modelling chocolate. The Ferrari logo is handpainted gumpaste, with the lettering on Kevin’s name made to replicate the Ferrari font. What birthday boy wouldn’t love… Read More

Katy and I know each other through work, and last year she was planning her wedding. She’d already arranged for me to take her photos (I also do photography as another side endeavor –… Read More
After making the wedding party cake for my brother that I posted about last time, I didn’t really do too much in terms of “fancy” cakes for a while. I still did a lot of baking (and eating!), of course, but the baking bug took a bit of a back seat for a little bit.… Read More
Well, I sure have a lot of catch-up to do in order to get this blog up to date! Since I thought I’d go more-or-less sequentially, what better place to start than with the cake that started it all! My brother was getting married a few summers ago, so I thought I’d make them a… Read More
